7505 on the 30 earlier I saw it about 12.25 passing Ashington bus station on its way to Linton

A Vxxx DNL mod is on the Durham 64's

That MPD is 1712 as it is the only Vxxx DNL MPD that Durham depot has. They decided they'd rather have 1712 than 1302 (which should have transferred) apparently because of its history with regards to breaking down. 1302 must be really bad then if Durtham would rather have 1712!

Those Darts are horrific, they had developed a troublesome reputation when they were on Service 7.

I had 1312 on Service 6 between Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland this afternoon and it was slow as hell and sounded rough.

Agreed!
Didn't even realise the Vxxx DNL vehicles were still about.

Can only guess the ones palmed onto GNE were the worst of the lot and they were poor even then.

Blyth had 1733 on the X14/33/57A circuit yesterday. Meant a lot of winding numbers and destinations every time it arrived in Morpeth where the service numbers change.

1743 on X4 M'bro 12-00 to Whitby. 15 minutes late through Brotton.

Also Temsa 4713 on X4 Whitby 12-30 to M'bro.

7435 on the X2 departed Chester le Street for Durham at 16.05

4654 on the 15, next trip 1433 from Roseworth.

4039 on 5/5a

Edit: Redcar excelling themselves again with 1739 on the 63

Not quite no it appears 4039 started the day on 21A and replaced 1444 on 5/5a. 1444 then replaced 1914 on 9s. 4654 wasn't out at start of play.
