It looks like Pulsar 1396 has seen its final day. Sat looking forlorn in Darlington yard with several bits missing, a nasty lean to the right (not a political statement!), a screen notice and a red steering cover. It's also been registered as SORN.

1396 was withdrawn due to chassis work required and it's MOT had ran out, it has only just recently returned to the yard at faverdale

The notorious 7557 has arrived at Ashington from Blyth, replacing previous loans of 7636/1505 which have both failed.
