8289 SPD on the 9, if it still had it's now defunct Route19 branding this would of been an odd allocation.

506 MPD on the Drifter 60
I've also seen an SPD on the 39 and a Street Shuttle on the M1 today.
Another update will be added later regarding what buses I have caught and have been added to GNE Buses via Brand Sets.
Only odd allocation there is the SimpliCity Versa on the 35.
The SPD that was on the 9 was 8239 (not Chester-le-Street based 8289 as you suggested), and now that it's in "Northern" livery, it's a designated spare to be used on any service.
There is always at least one SPD on "Silver Arrows" service 2A/2C per day.
The green MPD isn't strictly speaking allocated to any service, despite it being the designated spare for the 238 service (I believe that's the case anyway). Since her resurrection, however, she has spent most of her time on the 60 - occasionally dropping in on the 39 and 238 service too.
SPD on the 39 is normal too.
