YJ11GHG I understand is the one at Ashington. I wonder if they are moving our stuff out of Thorntons as they need space for an influx of vehicles from London....??
The Sapphires aren't due to start service from Durham until October, however I understand 1531/2 will help to provide extra cover on the 22/24 (and probably other services!) over the summer season whilst the roadworks in Durham boost their PVR - we are providing extra resources on 22/24 (PVR +1), 56/57 (PVR +1), X12 (PVR +1), 64 (PVR +1). I understand 1524 + 1 other are to be used at Blyth to help provide cover whilst their Gemini fleet gets sorted.
Once they go into Durham for service 6, there should be a movement of standard Pulsars from there to Stockton to remove the majority of the DAF Cadets from service there. I understand 5 of them will be kept however this is yet to be confirmed, and indeed which ones are staying - no doubt it'll be the worst ones!
