Darts 34568/9/606 have moved or are to move to West Scotland (34606 remains at Hartlepool awaiting a replacement diff) while 34401 remains also in a reserve capacity.

Unexpected sighting near Walkergate depot today was 22160 (T160MVM), an ALX saloon carrying Stagecoach in Cumbria fleetnames and several L plates on the front. Not sure whether on loan or a recent transfer to the North East.

... and another one sighted in the same location yesterday was 22826 in full Stagecoach training livery. Again, this until recently was a Cumbria vehicle.

Yet another ex-Cumbria vehicle in full training livery here is 22121, again sighted near Walkergate. Stagecoach's Alexander PS-bodies must be nearing extinction in the North East.

Neither. For the forseeable future Cumbria & North Lancs are using Walkergate for driver tests.

Thanks very much for that clarification. I did wonder what was going on, especially as the three 'foreign' trainers I have seen here recently are still shown as Cumbria vehicles in your latest fleetcard. At least it gives the local spotters here something to look out for.

Many of the 10631-54 batch of double-deckers are now in service for Busways. Noted by me so far are 10631-34/36-39/41-43/45/47-49, all on services 62 and 63. Not sure what the split is between Walkergate and Slatyford depots but I suspect the lower numbers are at Walkergate as I have seen 31/32/34 running empty from the Killingworth end of the route.

Tridents 17239/40 (X239/368 NNO) and 17643/5/7 (W643/5/7 RND) have transferred from Manchester. 17239/40/643/5 are to be converted to open top to replace 14669-71/3/4 on the Newcastle City Sightseeing tour, while 17647 is to be used for spares.
