1416 going to Darlington is agreed as an extra spare bus for the X26 and X66, not to be used on the X75/X76 - though of course it'll soon become a generic spare for all MAX routes at Darlington. 1493 should be getting the advert taken off and repainted for Blyth.
Stockton's 1451 was on loan to Redcar today - used on services 22/64/64A this afternoon
Could do with an extra spare for the X26/X27, X66 as Solos often pop up on the X26/X27.
Some of the MAX Omnicity's are a mess, 4644 replaced an X66 branded example on Monday and one of the panels under the windows was coming off (will try and find the photo I took and upload it on here tomorrow) and also there is gaps between the windows and plastic which results in cold air blowing through. On one of them they moved the carrying capacity sticker to above the windscreen and it looks ridiculous as it is too big for that space and it's held on with Darlington depots most trusty tool - the sticky stuff for the weekly tickets!
