I saw it Seaburn bound on Thompson Road getting close to 5pm, so if you saw 564 at Sunderland at 16:05 then this should have been the same bus I saw. But it definitely had a flip-dot matrix destination with the 99 number, so who knows what happened! Maybe I could have been seeing things and convinced myself I'd seen the 592 instead, but I'd only just passed a Doxford Clipper MPD on the 592 minutes earlier!

I think I read somewhere that one of the Street Shuttles had the new moquette. I thought a canny few MPD's across the fleet had been treated, including some of the East Durham fleet; but it looks like I'm mistaken - they're rather few and far between!

Positive it was 564. I could be wrong, but I am fairly positive. I had considered jumping off the bus at the Royal Hospital to get a photo, that's why I mentally logged the fleet number :L
Reason why I didn't was because the 78 was running early. It's meant to run a minute or two after the 2A/C, so that would have been perfect timing (to jump off the 2A/C, get a photo of the 99 and jump on the 78) but it managed to overtake the 2A/C at the University - despite the 2A/C leaving a minute early by the clock on the front of the bus!
I've seen a few on the 202 with the new moquette too! One may have been done for Street Shuttle brand too - not sure.
