If my memory serves, I did see a "Northern" SPD on the 61 this morning also, so must have been replaced later into the day when you arrived at Sunderland.
I thought I saw 503 come up Stockton Road from Deptford's way, so I must have been correct. I hadn't seen her while in school either, which is usually the sign to show it was a replacement.
