I am now more likely to come to Middlesbrough next July rather than Easter. I am due to go away twice in April then not until August or September, so this would spread my breaks from home better. For a personal highlight I have Monday July 15th off work so I would come that weekend. Also, Easter is the weekend the clocks go forward so I would lose an hour of daylight coming at the end of March.

Seemingly they are replacing Prestiges (the oldest of which are the same age as these DAFs) and the two written-off Temsas. Add in three-time fire damaged 4082 (V653 LWT), now written off, plus recently accident-damaged 4719, Redcar are in need of buses.
