As such, Enviro300 24111 was the Hartlepool starting extra 36 and then appeared on the 38 (and also as such worked a short 37 from Park End to Middlesbrough this afternoon).

Not a normal sight on a Saturday - 8 of the 9 deckers sat in the corner of the yard - from left to right are 17025 17032 16834 16836 16835 16831 16839 and 17027
16839 later on the 12
24111 on the 38

The ALX400's can't come until Hull recieve their Enviro 400's and they're in full service, and we can't recieve them until everybody knows how to drive them, they are suppose to be here at the end of summer hols, so thats in around 9 weeks. For the alx300's, i highly doubt it. As we have been over with time and time again there is only a handful of DDA alx300's in the North East.

The remaining Tridents are expected in August, and that has come from a depot duty manager. As for ALX300s from Sunderland, I seriously doubt it, because all they're likely gonna get rid of is their non-DDA examples (22453 being one high on the list I guess) and considering Stockton need DDA ones not more non-DDA ones considering they have 2 and a half years before the non-DDA must be replaced.

Presumably the new owner replaced the gear box, the reason its short time on Teesside came to an end.

The DDA deadline for full-size single deckers! Which is 1/1/2016 (so basically all non-DDA vehicles must be withdrawn by the end of service on the 31/12/2015).

MAN Enviro300 24115 was on the 52 today, also working the 364 school run this morning (that being tagged on the front of a 52 board).

Olympian 16835 was out on the 12 today, working the first 611 of the day before being replaced.
