This vehicle has moved from Stockton to Stockton (Under Repair), whilst undergoing DDA modifications at Thornton Brothers, Ashington, which will enable this vehicle to be used after 1st January 2016 (which is when all single-deck vehicles which do not meet PSVAR / DDA regulations have to be withdrawn from public service).
Due to a seasonal PVR reduction, this vehicle has transferred from Redcar Depot to Belmont, in a reserve capacity, and is expected to be used during the Durham Lumiere event.
This vehicle has moved from Blyth (Under Repair) to Blyth, having returned to service following "MAX" specification repaint and refurbishment at Thornton Brothers, Ashington.
