Front end cab side. The immediate photo of it online with a newspaper report (can't remember which local newspaper however) made the damage look quite serve. Of course, its age did go against it somewhat, I mean why spend god knows how much repairing a then 14 year old vehicle which may only see a further year in service or so? Or even do what most of its sisters have done and sat in store for the last year. The only one of the ALX300-bodied B10BLEs that has seen service throughout the year since 27723-40 arrived is Stockton's 21141.

21154 ran into the back of a truck on the Wearmouth Bridge I believe. They'll be sold off in September anyway so there was no need to repair it, better to use it for spares for the rest of the fleet.

After further investigation, the fifth B10BLE parked in Stockton Yard is either 21152 or 21158 (21155 is currently in service at Walkergate).

That, I believe, leaves just Dart SLF/Alexander ALX200 33102 as the only one with the now ancient 'pants' megarider branding. As we don't know what is happening with the examples of these that are not allocated to either Walkergate or Slatyford, it may only be a matter of time before that advert has gone for good.

Well there's still at least one 53 reg MAN with it still in place at Slatyford as I just went past it. Didn't catch the fleet number.
