As of today, all 7 of the full length Kites have arrived with at least 2 at Darlington and the majority in storage at Belmont (either 4 or 5 - having driven past Faverdale yesterday, it appeared there was 3 there) - training is due to start tomorrow I understand.
5 of the short Kites have also appeared - 3001/2 and a third are presently parked in Redcar depot alongside the B9TLs, while a further pair are stated to be at Ashington depot for storage.
Why do they get shipped off all round the North East rather than just all sent to Darlington in the first instance? Are Darlington short on space?
