It’s 2711 that went on loan to Ashington for the mini services on Saturday. Solo 3051 involved in an accident the other day - 2710 is away on loan at Castleford

Redcar’s final bus in last night was Pulsar 1445 having worked the last X4A to Easington. Final departure (2340 63) was worked by Pulsar 1439. Most vehicles were moved to Stockton shortly after arrival last night with the remainder to transfer today.

The B9s are just loans for the weekend to operate Silverstone services. 8 BYDs have also gone down.
