Can anyone come up (possibily) with a fleet list before it closed and any other info. If I need to be re-directed then please let me know. Thanks.

For example, 7608 changed route sub-branding from X10/X11 to X9, and did so quite a while ago, but the fleet list still says it's got a MAX X10/X11 livery.

Summary of Northumbria changes:
7608 gets rebranded as X9
4516 was on loan to Ashington between 17-21 February
7525 is away for accident damage at Gardiners, and has not yet returned
4501 and 4506 are now at Ashington and have been renumbered 9994/9995 and have been painted into DTV livery
7410/11 have received QLIN vinyls (don't know if that's already been reported on the lists/news)

I'm sure there are more for Durham County, but I don't normally follow their fleet.

(25 Feb 2016, 10:03 pm)Kuyoyo wrote As previously mentioned, 4723 is now in service at Redcar (and unlike its appearance on the X93 on Tuesday, it does now have working destinations)

(27 Feb 2016, 7:37 pm)Cobalt271 wrote Not sure if this has been previously mentioned but 1406 is at Thornton Bros and has been repainted into MAX livery.
