(01 Oct 2015, 2:01 pm)buss14 wrote well it would be nice if you did because R424 COO was one of my faveroute one of that batch

(01 Oct 2015, 2:22 pm)Jimmi wrote I'd also be interested in seeing something happen with R424 COO. In some ways I actually miss riding some of these Darts along with the S-KHN batch of Darts, my favourite of that batch was either 1613 or 1639.

(01 Oct 2015, 4:11 pm)Stuartphin1639 wrote Jimmi my favorite one of that batch was 1639 as well, don't know why but I had something for that one

(01 Oct 2015, 4:24 pm)Jimmi wrote I never would have guessed that

I quite liked that one, again not really sure why. May have just been the joy of not having pain in my kness from the poor legroom on the X-GGO Darts used on the 7 at the time. Did seem to shift along the A167 between Ferryhill and Chilton when it was on the 7 one afternoon.

(02 Oct 2015, 5:18 pm)GX03 SVC wrote I think someones been having you on.

We have four vehicles coming up from Enfield, for the MAX X20. The employee says there are five Y-reg Lowlanders coming across, only four will be withdrawn once these arrive. 

What I think will happen is...:
Four B7TLs arrive at Ashington, displacing four DAF DB250s to Durham
Two B7TLs arrive at Blyth, displacing two Gemini 2DLs to Durham
Above vehicles arrive at Durham, withdrawing the five Lowlanders.

(02 Oct 2015, 4:10 pm)Jimmi wrote God I hope that's true! Although we'd still have 7441-7444 at Belmont, plus 7453-7456.
