10/11: MAN ALX300
12/39: MAN E300
13: MAN ALX300
14/34: MAN ALX300
36/37/38: ADL E300 ('The Zone' first)
52/35: ADL E300
58/35: MAN ALX300
59/61: MAN ALX300
Sundays should basically see the branded E300s out on 36/37/38 with a mix of unbranded ADL E300s and the MAN E300s out on other work but in theory the ADL E300s have mainly been found on 10A/11A/52/58/59/61 with the MAN E300s turning up on 12/39. Naturally, it all depends what the running boards say as to what goes out on Sundays but the newer stock would be sent out over say a T-reg MAN.
As for allocations, particularly on Saturday, Saturdays see some buses starting later in the day (there's a bus that appears to start at Hartlepool at 11am on 36s) hence the seemingly random mix of vehicles everywhere on Saturday.
Seems the 35 gets the oldest and the newest then as it certainly isnt always ADL E300s I see it most days with a banger on it
