RE: Arriva North East
Refurbished Pulsars 1440/1512 returned to their home depots of Redcar and Stockton on Friday afternoon. 1440 has reportedly re-entered service today, bring the Sapphire standard to the 22/64/64a rotation.

Redcar's Streetlites entered service on Tuesday 23rd September without any issues that plagued the Stockton examples the week before. All 14 were used on that day - 1573 replaced 1561 on X4/4 by mid morning with 1561 later re-appearing on the X3/X3a by mid afternoon working the 1750 X4 to Easington from Middlesbrough 15 minutes late (behind a 25 minutes late 1735 X4/4 to Whitby and minutes in front of the 1805 X4 to Saltburn).

Durham's 1578 entered service on Friday on the U1, while Ashington placed their so-far-sole delivered example 1581 out on 35As 2 days earlier.

Scania OmniCitys 4653/9 and Enviro400s 7511-3 returned from refurbishment last weekend, days after 7515-7 moved to Blackburn. 4648-50 are listed as the first OmniCitys to be treated for the X26/X27/X66 however at present it is believed that 4651 has gone to Blackburn instead of 4648. 7514 is also due to move to Blackburn for refurbishment.
