(03 Apr 2016, 9:52 am)tyresmoke wrote I'm not sure they've got more than one? The only one I've seen in the last two weeks has been 2809 repeatedly used on the 57/57a.

(03 Apr 2016, 9:56 am)South Tyne Lad wrote It was mentioned a while back about 2 Solo's coming in exchange for 2 MPDs from Ashington. Unless things changed.

(03 Apr 2016, 9:59 am)tyresmoke wrote Yes I think that was the plan on paper, but unless anyone knows otherwise I'm thinking only 2809 went to Ashington, although I am not sure which Dart they sent to Durham?

And if 1771 is still in use?
Thanks

(05 Apr 2016, 10:22 am)South Tyne Lad wrote Pretty much, Services 43/46 and 48 all throw up Lowlanders, Though there's atleast 1or 2 Pulsars on too.

(05 Apr 2016, 10:29 am)Jimmi wrote Yep, 43 and 46/48 are your best bets. X24 often has a 57 reg example on a Saturday (or 7609 if it isn't required on the X12).

(05 Apr 2016, 8:08 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The Arriva logo on the front is the one that was applied when they first entered service. It seems someone needs to look into getting them removed otherwise Durham's will look out of place........
