Last couple of times ive been to Hartlepool there has been a mixture of darts and Enviro 200s on all the routes. It doesn't seem to look like they bother much with the allocations anymore.

MMC 10652 on the 11

I've seen a hybrid on the X63 and corporate 400 (57 plate) on 39. Also ALX300 on 100 (06 plate).

There was an ALX300 on the 100 yesterday too - seemed to be covering for 27508.

No photos of 27508 online since last month. I wonder if it's VOR or headed off for pastures new?

It's still at Slatyford.

39 is 19203, 100 is 22410. I also saw a 54 plate on there. I think 12065 was the X63. Also will a 200 MMC on 71 be counted as odd if it's meant for 30/31/36.

Not really - there's 2 spare on top of the PVR for the 30/31/36 and I believe it was mentioned at least one of the spares would be allocated to the 71 to cover the evening NEXUS contract requirement.
Same as when Stockton got 27157-81 - once the service changes took place, the unbranded examples were allocated to the 52/35 rather than having 9 spare buses. Indeed now, Stockton's E300 route allocation only leaves 1 spare example out of an allocation of 41.

What is the NEXUS 71 requirement ? Is this why we have seen alot of 400MMC on the 71s before the 200s arrived ? Always had me baffled , Could see the 400s roam a bit more now the smaller MMC's are here.

thanks

Today was the first time I saw one on the X88 and the only other times I have seen them off route is on the 71 a few times and X82 once. Be good to see them on a few more routes maybe if not in use on 62 / 63.

Living along the route of the X87/88 this is about the 2nd or 3rd time on a Sunday the routes been fully operated by the MMCs. May start to find one on the X's or the 10/11 more often.

Dots 27249 on 39 today.
