)
Cheers, I am guessing these are limited to the 6 and 7? And yeah, I've saw that :L - I thought the Enviro400s were meant to stop MPDs on the X93. But hey, this is Redcar we are talking about.
Yes, schooldays the 7 that's normally always a full-size bus is the xx50 from Stockton (which spends from 1845 to either 1940 or 2010 on weekdays parked on the High Street for one of the drivers coming off the 15). Schoolholidays and Saturdays, it could be any working and could be more than one. The 6 is always MPD - recently it's mainly been one of the newer examples. The one that works the 6 also does the 1737 28 from Middesbrough to Nunthorpe and the last one back into Middlesbrough. Again, weekdays that one then returns to Stockton as the other 15 driver bus.
Officially, only Whitby's 5 workings are allocated Enviro400s and 1 OmniCity. The Redcar boards can get anything that is tacho-fitted. As the peak timetable is now finished until the end of May, Redcar's boards are not currently operating.
Cheers! I think I need loads of MPDs in Teesside and Darlo, there is loads of them! So Darlo has very little older ones, more 05 ones?

Thanks again hehe! - So will they still be in service by May?
looks like ecocitys are thin on the ground again today only 1 has managed to make it on town service 2 out of a possb 4
Darlington depot do still not have a permanent fueling fixture so there is always going to be a couple out as it takes too long although alongside the new technology there will always be a few out until they get sorted. Let's just say it's 'teething troubles!'.
