Redcar MPD 1743 has spent the day on the 64a/X3/X4 today, I believe on the working that goes onto the 63 at half 6 in Middlesbrough.

Does anyone have any idea on the passenger numbers on the 51/52/53/54 after the changes?

27-branded Pulsar 1449 replaced 4658 on the 5 at 1345. As such, it will at present be completing its day on the last 30. 1459 spent the majority of the day on the short 17 workings before replaced a late running 4063 on the 5. Sister 1454 then ended up on the 1600 17b and will as such also work the 1720 17.

Prestige 4063 spent the morning on the 27/27a while OmniCity 4659 has spent the afternoon on the 7.

Prestige 4038 and Centros 1923/4 were all out on the 15 today, 1924 is still out on the Cunningham Drive evening runs.

27-branded Pulsar 1449 will just have finished its one trip on the 5a this afternoon, sister 1494 started the day on 29s before turning up on the 21a this afternoon doing the last departure from Middlesbrough to Thorpe Thewles.

Redcar had Enviro400 7513 on the 64 today, while 1102/4092 were on the 64a/X3/X4. Stockton's oddest working, in comparison, was Prestige 4030's appearance on the 9 as a replacement for a broken-down 1909. Redcar-based sister 4070 appears to be spending the night at Stockton as it has been spotted parked alongside the offices in the yard.

Redcar were short again today, resulting in Cadet 1916 being on loan on 64A/X3/X4

Cadet 1912 has spent the day on-loan to Redcar on the 64a/X3/X4. 29-branded Pulsar 1451 is currently on the 5.

A number of odd workings from Stockton depot today:

MPD 1756 on the 15 (unless it has been swapped, it is out all night on the Bassleton Court runs), 1904 also appeared on there replacing 1492
27-branded Pulsar 1446 was swapped onto 28/30 for 4007 which appeared on the 27
27-branded 1450 was on the crew bus until it was replaced by Centro 1923

Today was the first day of the new Alnwick out station. The first buses based there are:
DAF SB3000 1207/9
VDL DB250 7456
VDL DB300 7424/5
