Both 27724/8 were in South Shields depot today along with Enviro200 36462. 27724 and 36462 were being checked by an Alexander Dennis fitter. Enviro200 36464/5 were back in service today, 36464 on the normally MAN Enviro200-worked 10/11/30.

In addition to 21105, 21148 has now also been stood down as it was parked in the same spot today as it has been for the last two or so week I've been heading up there.

27724 in service on the E's
27728 in service on the E's
36426 in service on the 3
39702 in service on the usually dart operated 12/12A

36462 had never left South Shields. Its appearance in the depot may have been more some sort of modification by ADL or a minor bit of work (given the fleet will still be under Warrenty).

Been the case for six weeks or so at least. Believe it's problems with the Chassis among others such as engine problems and gearboxes as well. As stated, the ALX300s are now regulars on 36 workings (normally those that finish during the early evening, their appearances on all day workings is unusual apart from as changeovers).
