Yep, changed to tie into the fact that they share a boardly similar route from Redcar Clock to Saltburn and Brotton (there's even now 3 morning runs that start at Brotton Green Tree using the vehicle that does the Saltburn shorts as they now don't start until 1000 from Redcar).
Sadly not, 269 was one of the early withdrawal of the remaining Scanias after its engine gave up the ghost. However, it's apparently still with Arriva North East, dumped with the last Vecta (1551) in Bishop Auckland depot. Stockton is now one of the few ANE depots to be a 100% low floor depot (apart for the borrow of 7452 yesterday, but that's what you get when you use Prestiges on the X1!)
