Unexpected repaint into Toonlink livery is ex crusader volvo 4841

Unusual workings today are South Tyne '5' branded on metrocentre circular S1 (yes its worked from same depot but rare for South Tyne to be used at metrocentre). Highwayman 4932 was operating service 58 this afternoon.

Another unusual working today (I think) was Silver Arrow 5320 at Newcastle on X3.

The X7 started today with little-or-no fanfare, indeed no timetables have yet to be updated on Teesside yet.

The fleet stands at:
4906
4907
4908
4909

Now that the fleet changes have all but happened, are the B10BLE's at Percy,main on the 17 going to be branded? Or is that not happening anymore?

Hi all, does anyone here know what service numbers are operated by go northeast's peterlee depot and also what transmission the wear tees xpress b10ble's use? Am i right in thinking they are ZF?

Peterlee operate almost (bar the 238, operated by Deptford) all of the East Durham network, so 59, 201, 202, 206, 208, 209, 239, 259, 260, 265, 807, 923 plus the X7 of course.
Yes the B10BLE's have ZF gearboxes.

Thanks for clearing that up tyresmoke, the reason i ask about the gearbox of the b10ble's on the x7 is that i watched a video of 4909 on youtube with the cooling fan running and it sounded almost like an Allison transmission.

Saltmeadows quaylink versa 8317 was operating South Tyne 5 yesterday, wonder if some of the cadets are off road as recently this service has seen a lot of use by nexusbus solos and quaylinks
