Yes Ashington have only received 7478 replaced at Durham by their new E400s. Hence they've now been given 1527 to help out while the other 2 deckers are away.
Once the Sapphire 6s launch in Durham there should be vehicles to replace them but I'm not sure what's been agreed on to go to Ashington. I know they're due 6 DDs from London also but these will be a while yet.
As for 1771, from what I've heard off a mate at Blyth depot it was hit by a car last night and is badly damaged. As far as I know though nobody on the bus (inc driver) were injured.
god bad luck does happen in steps because jesmond could be losing 4663 blyth could be losing 1771. just ashington now
