A second morning with a lack of buses that didn't need minor or even major attention resulted in 37-branded 22061 being used on the 52/58 and sister 22064 on the 35. (37-branded 22062 was on the 12 yesterday).

Stockton is now back to full allocation strength with the reappearance of MAN ALX300 22470 this afternoon on the 13 as changeover for 16840 in time for Macmillan duty.

21144 on the 36 on Tuesday - working the PM 36A run to James Cook Hospital
21150 on the 36 yesterday
22061 on the 52 yesterday
22064 on the 35 yesterday
22470 back in service

Another, as yet unreported, unusual working was that of 24114 on the 38 on Tuesday evening having replaced (and been replaced on the 36) 22663 which had clipped a Pedestrian on a humpped crossing on Stockton High Street on its previous trip to the Glebe Estate (and missed most of its final Park End trip due to the Police involvement, fortunatly the Police took the Driver's side given the crossing involved has traffic lights which were green for the traffic). The unusual side of this is that this duty working onto the evening 12/610/611, and drivers are wary of taking the Enviro300s on any 611 trip bar the 2320 from Middlesbrough (which only goes as far as Trimdon Avenue Baldoon Sands) due to the tight Right hand turn out of Trimdon Avenue back onto Acklam Road. As 24114 wasn't anywhere to be seen during the depot visit that evening, it seems that it successive managed to do that turn and did the whole evening on the 12/610/611 alongside sister 24112 with 24111 also doing the 2240 12.
