I have Volvo B12B/Caetano Levante T60DOV and Mercedes Tourismo AD19DOV so far

Neoplan Tourliner AD18DOV is another along with one in Insight Vacations livery.

Hartlepool MAN E200 39657, which was on the disposal list, has re-entered service according to Bus Times (assuming it is not a case of one vehicle tracking as another vehicle).

Given 39657 was withdrawn due to requiring a new engine (which cost more than what the vehicle is worth) before COVID even hit and had been stripped of parts for its sisters, more than likely to be another vehicle has gain the baseplate out of 657 and as yet, it hasn’t received the new fleet number (Much like how one of Stockton’s MMCs was tracking as 22068 for it’s first few days of service last October).

Looks like 39709 might have its old ticket machine. 39709 stopped tracking not long before 39657 started tracking on bus times

When did 22026 transfer upto Newcastle,it was on the 22 today

What was wrong with Stockton MAN ALX300 22061 that led to it being put on the disposal list?

Anyways, it is now safely in the hands of the Teesside 500 Group according to their Facebook page which is great to hear.

However, as it was delivered new in the Beachball swoops livery, it may easily end up being mistaken for an active service vehicle when used at rallies until the old corporate livery is completely phased out.

I'd probably imagine its just down to age, 22061 is about 16 years old, its like 22014,that was withdrawn ages ago,well before the others,think that was down to an engine fault if i recall
