All of 4660-2 have now left Stockton, been repainted and are in daily service on the 685 alongside sister 4664.

Thanks Kuyoyo for your quick and informative answer as usual. Now I know just how helpful your advice not to wait until August to ride a leather Omnicity in Middlesbough was!

So, as they are now on the 685, are the V-reg coaches doing other Northumberland-area routes instead?

1206/10-2 are being converted into driver trainers, 1206 already done and earmarked to replace 1005 at Ashington while 1210-2 are destined for Stockton to replaced 1002/3. The original plan was for 1207-9 to be converted but this has now been dropped due to their refurbishment back in 2010.
