Wasn't the 21A going to be Max with Omnicities, or were them three not going to get a repaint?!

I had 4659 a few times and it was one of the better ones in my opinion! I had it on the afternoon that the whole Teesside area flooded and it performed faultlessly despite going through many floodwaters!
It spent a period of about a week off the road but I had it just before it transferred and all of the little niggles had been ironed out and was perfect.

As far as I know there are no plans to Max the 21/21A, although this contract with East Durham College may provide them both with the extra passenger numbers that would be required to justify more investment. It's likely that the 21A will become Pulsar operated when the Scanias go to Darlington. The 21 would keep its high spec Ecocities.
