Now that a more appropriate vehicle has been sourced to be allocated to this running board, I believe it is allocated to the board all day (rather than just for one round trip at 12:50pm - board 685B). This has in turn released a "Cross Pennine" branded Scania OmniCity to replace 7478 in the fleet at Jesmond, which has in turn returned to a reserve role in the fleet. Likely to be disposed of, along with the others in its batch, at the end of October following the end of all Metro Replacement and Rail Replacement contracts.
