Blyth's sol DB250 7469 (X447 FGP) also transfers to Jesmond as part of a PVR change while Darlington lose 1302 to Durham to replace 1654 to Redcar via the paintshop.

T313FGN is 7458, it is due to be repainted very short I believe. 2503 (YJ51 JWW) has already been repainted but is restricted to the NHS Shuttle runs due to its Mobitec screens (while the rest of Jesmond's fleet including 7458 have Hanover LEDs). They are now the only vehicles passing to the main fleet now, with the rest of the work being up for tender in the summer (bar the AD122, whose future is currently up in the air).
