I received this information about 15 minutes ago via email from a contact at Sunderland. The name of which I intend to protect.

I know when I saw the 3 Man's this morning on the A19, there was 2 mans together with the third Man trailing behind at some distance, so this most of been the reg 490 that I spotted.
Eight new arrivals at Lincoln due this weekend in total, though I suspect this includes today's proposed arrival of three and perhaps vehicles from other depots too - as I don't think they were due to receive eleven in total from the North East.
A leading driver had to drive up in his car to pick the driver up of the third MAN referred to above.
