8289 was quite unique. Was the last bus in the fleet to sport the red/blue/yellow livery. Can remember it saw frequent allocation to the 71 when that service existed (and was operated by Chester-le-Street), often rode it and was probably in the best condition of the other Darts at Chester-le-Street, however, I personally favoured 8236/37/38 as they had the graffiti moquette interior.
