Will have to check my list but if I remember right this should be one of our 11 yes.
Latest allocation sheet throws up a few interesting points...
Firstly the transfers on paper are:
1309/1737 Darlington-Redcar (replacing 2827/2828 to Whitby via paintshop)
1724 reserve-Darlington (cover for 4809 - in reality I don't think 1724 has ever been withdrawn)
1739 Redcar-reserve
4045 Stockton-reserve
7437 Jesmond-Ashington
7467 Ashington-Jesmond
Various depots are still hanging onto buses for various reasons...
1428 has returned to Darlington and is back on the road, they were hanging onto 2 Darts (1301/2 if I remember right) whilst 1428 and 4809 were off the road.
Thus 1653/4 are still awaiting transfer from Durham to Redcar, who as a result are still using reserve/transfer Darts 1711/1737/1739/1743 and Prestiges 4044/68.
Stockton are still using Prestige 4045 in a reserve capacity for the next few months to give us extra flexibility I gather.
Temsa 4718 is back on the road at Redcar too, but that may have just displaced another to go to Smiles for engineering modifications.
