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?

RE: Arriva North East
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!'.

RE: Arriva North East
Omnicity 4663 was on the X1 today.

Meanwhile, the X66 saw two odd daytime sights - Solo 2865 and Pulsar 1425 (the later replacing Dart 1649).

9-branded Pulsar 1442 replaced Cadet 1909 on the 28/30 and worked the first two trips on the 631/632.

RE: Arriva North East
27-branded Pulsar 1449 has just left Stockton on the X1 to Durham and onwards to Newcastle, due there at 1139.
