• The Kinetics, originally destined for Stockton, have instead been allocated to Slatyford to replace the NK03 batch of MANs
• Former East Scotland ADL Enviro300-bodied MAN Enviro300s 22570/4/9-81 (SP08 DCV, DDA/L/N/O) have arrived and are being allocated to Slatyford for use on the 100. This will release MK1 Enviro300s 27506-10 to Stockton (27506 has already arrived and is currently being used for Familiarisation) to replace some of the remaining ALX300-bodied MANs at the depot
• E200MMCs 26063-80 are in the process of delivery to Slatyford depot. These are for services 30/31/36 and are intended to replace MAX ALX300s 22034-51 (aka the 53 registered batch).
• Ex-East Scotland Scania OmniLinks 24001-3 (SP57 CNE/F/J) have transferred from Dumfirmline depot. Once prepared for service (which might take a while), they will be allocated to Sunderland depot for new service X24 (Newcastle to Sunderland)
  

I wonder whether these OmniLinks for route X24 have been refurbished. I know they have at least been repainted. I think they already had leather seats in Scotland.
