Hello all, from a newcomer to the forum.
Parked (or rather packed!) in yard at Blyth depot yesterday, were four MPD's, 1709/15/40/41
(V709/715/740/741 DNL)plus two unidentified MPD's(I couldn't see over the wall!) Could these be for withdrawal/disposal? Perhaps the loss of the service 53 from Blyth depot has rendered them surplus. Also, inside the depot was a Durham Park&Ride liveried Solo (unable to get number).

Prestige 4007 was on the 6 today, and will be out on the 27 now.

4046 was on the 21a-31a before running late into Middlesbrough. It went onto the 27/27a.

Odd day on the 15 with 3 unusual vehicles - Cadet 1901 on from the start, sister 1905 replaced a Pulsar about 1115. MPD 1711 then popped up mid-afternoon.

Strange why a Park and Ride Solo is all the way at Blyth?

7367 was on the X1/X2 yesterday as seen here in Gateshead

Replaced by 7442 for the evening part of the board I understand.

Has 1313 X536 GGO always been working at Durham? I don't have it included on my fleetlist and notes but I may have missed it.

Yes, 1313 has always been a Durham bus.

I understand Alexander Dennis MPD 1800 (NK56 HKV) has been repainted into new livery.


RE: Arriva North East - kuyoyo - 08/10/2012 15:43

Prestiges 4035/6 have transferred from Darlington to Redcar, 4036 effectively replacing MPD 1735. Darts 1673/5 and Prisma 3007 are due off at the end of the month when the 93/X93 reverts to its winter timetable.
