Stockton are indeed getting 7 Pulsars from Darlington when the first 6 of the 2013 order arrive for the 1/5 (a further example is due for those routes in the autumn at the same time as the Pulsars for the 7), replacing 4 Prestiges and allowing 4660-2 to move north for the X20/20.

It does make sense for the Geminis to be left at Blyth to operate other routes into Newcastle now.

I have my itin provisionally decided for next Saturday. To reduce duplication but increase variety, I am considering catching route 28 to Lingdale (from Guisborough after riding route 5) then route 4 to Saltburn. According to the timetables, I have just a 9 minute connection. Does the same bus switch from the 28 to the 4 or is it different buses? My hunch is that route 28 works from SN and route 4 from RR.
