I believe what is supposed to happen on Bank Holidays is the 7 and 19 should be standalone as I think there is a height issue with low hanging trees or something like that on the 19 route and the 7 needs the additional capacity of the E400's, so I believe that the 7 should be E400's and should park up until it's next run to Durham whilst the 19 runs standalone with something else usually a Solo and parks up until it's run on the 19 to Faverdale.

Although E400's have been sighted on the 19 today, we have now reverted to the above with 2849 being allocated to the 15:37 departure from Northgate with 7537 now being parked up on Tubwell Row.

I may have just got the wrong fleet number - I'd identified it from a distance, hence the question mark.

It was one in the original Arriva corporate livery though.

Can't be 1767 as that's in the current standard livery rather than the original livery. Think Belmont have two original liveried MPD's at the moment, 1762 is one of them and I think the other one is 1791 (not 100% on that one!) annoyingly when I've been in Durham recently I keep missing all the MPD's that have recently transferred to Belmont.

It does seem like the examples that aren't allocated to the 61/62 and 168 on any given day normally seem to end up on the 57/57A or 56/86, think that's how they are working at the moment due to the roadworks in Durham as the 56/57/57A/86 should all interwork normally.
