Only 1711/53/5/6 at Stockton - Redcar's mainly turn up on the 22 or the 64. Otherwise they are on the 4 in Redcar or the Whitby Towns (or in the case of 1743/8/57, Redcar's X93 turns )

Cheers, I am guessing these are limited to the 6 and 7? And yeah, I've saw that :L - I thought the Enviro400s were meant to stop MPDs on the X93. But hey, this is Redcar we are talking about.

Yes, schooldays the 7 that's normally always a full-size bus is the xx50 from Stockton (which spends from 1845 to either 1940 or 2010 on weekdays parked on the High Street for one of the drivers coming off the 15). Schoolholidays and Saturdays, it could be any working and could be more than one. The 6 is always MPD - recently it's mainly been one of the newer examples. The one that works the 6 also does the 1737 28 from Middesbrough to Nunthorpe and the last one back into Middlesbrough. Again, weekdays that one then returns to Stockton as the other 15 driver bus.

Officially, only Whitby's 5 workings are allocated Enviro400s and 1 OmniCity. The Redcar boards can get anything that is tacho-fitted. As the peak timetable is now finished until the end of May, Redcar's boards are not currently operating.
