Former Yorkshire Tiger Scania OmniLink's Entering Service - Jimmi - 26 Jan 2022

After much delay, the first of the 3 OmniLink's finally entered service at Darlington depot yesterday (January 25th 2022), this being 761 - photographed working service 7 today: https://flic.kr/p/2mZmXdQ

Interestingly it has retained its Mobitec destination screens

Was the same one, by all accounts 762 should be entering service tomorrow

Awful apparently, has the same seats as Solo's 2601/2/3 & GNE 721 but in e-leather

Is there a reason they have a 3 digit fleet number rather than a 4 digit number?

Just the inherited fleet number from Arriva Yorkshire/Yorkshire Tiger. If it fits with the existing numbering without clashing then I can't see a reason to change it.
