No idea which ones, just that there's a possibility of some being used here in service once South Shields are finished with them. Could have been 21150, that hasn't been out in service since Saturday.
I think it was 21147 can't say for sure though as i was passing on the 13 and only saw it at the last min it had the older white wheelchair signs on the destination screen which I don't think 21150 has

21150 doesn't, 21147 does as does 21145. I think then it might indeed be 21147 (21145 is offically allocated to South Shields still, as the stand-in for 27736).
I'll have a look in the morning
On the subject of the B10BLE apeparing at Stockton, it wouldn't surprise me if some don't arrive here for storage pending sale. South Shields doesn't exactly have enough room to hold 18 B10BLEs and 2 Dart SLFs.
21102 and 21147 were indeed in Stockton's yard this morning. Having had a look at them, it would appear they are for storage pending sale and not for service, given the ERG baseplates have been removed etc
On the subject of B10BLEs, Stockton's trio were all out in service today for the first time this week - 21104 on the 13, 21144/50 on 35. 16832 spent most of the day on 12/14/34.

Connect Tees Valley have the details of these changes:
• 1 wil now once again run on a Sunday, half hourly betwren High Tunstall and Seaton Carew, extending hourly to Middlesbrough
• 7 will now run evenings all week, with the Sunday-Thursday Evening service restored half hourly using two buses. Pontentially could mean these will be operates by Stockton, as what is the point of having Hartlepool depot open for just two buses?
• There is also a change to the last 6 on Monday-Thursday evenings
Timetable links will be posted later
Hmm that would be interesting if Stockton were to operate the 7 services mentioned above suppose that may potentially see MANs operating in Hartlepool other than on the 36 of course, will be interesting to see how things pan out.
