1201-4 have been sold, but are still in use at the minute.

1202 has been the only R reg I have seen in Brampton on the 685 this year. Usual vehicles are V reg coaches now, one branded coast and castles (1212?) and today a W reg service bus.

1210 I believe is the one still branded for Coast & Castles.
1202 is indeed the only one in use, I believe 1203/4 have left the fleet, 1201 was at Jesmond until a week or so ago when it disappeared!

1212 is the Coast & Castles branded one, indeed the only one left in the original livery as well.

DAF 4094 has joined sister 4091 operating at Whitby.

An unusual working today was MPD 1775 on the X10 Newcastle to Blyth-this route is normally served by Pulsar's and Gemini's.

Noted both 1212 and 1213 out on Jesmond service 306 this afternoon. 1212 in Coast & Castles livery. One coach on this service is quite common but two seemed a little unusual ?

15-branded Pulsar 1485 was spotted arriving in Middlesbrough this morning on the X6 about 0840. It will have operated the X6 all day until doing the last 17a to Stockton.

OmniCity 4662 was on the 21a this afternoon.

The final 4 DAF SB220/Alexander ALX300s have now arrived in the North East - 4095/6 (R458/9 KWT) are currently at Jesmond while S475ANW and S477ANW have turned up at Stockton (photos @ Alex K)

OmniCity 4661 was reported on the 27/27a this afternoon.

In Jesmond today were:

DAF SB220/Alexander ALX300 4096 (R459 KWT), with 'Arriva Tees & District' legals but retaining its Yorkshire number of 459.
Whitby-based MPD 1759, due to be repainted Orange to replace 1719 on the Sainburys Free Bus.
Ashington-based Olympian 7368
