7466 has gone to Jesmond instead of Blyth
221 has already returned to Yorkshire from Durham
1712 remains in use
7483 was taken out of service but has now returned to use, presumably to fill the void left by 7491's move

Streetlite 1550 has now additionally arrived at Stockton depot ready for driver familiarisation and engineering inspection (which it is presently undergo). This one is also likely to be used to test the 'Next Stop' announcements work.
