According to my records Adam, R246JNL was allocated as follows, new to M.bro April 98 to April 03, with callsign Alpha 3 till April 01. Then call sign Alpha 1 from April 01 till April 03. It moved to Hartlepool Stranton from April 04 to Oct 07 as India 1. I don't have a current (2009) location for it.
Thank You Chris, I remember when I was at Middlesbrough around June 2003, they told me they were receiving a new Dennis Sabre (at that time R246 JNL wasnt there, a Dennis SS was sitting in its place), so when R246 JNL was removed, Y399 EBR changed to Alpha 1 and NY03 JUF started as Alpha 3. I also remember in February 2006, Y399 EBR had an RTC, It then returned operational as Alpha 3 for a while before being moved to Redcar (I Think, unless it was temporarily stationed somewhere before Redcar?), NY03 JUF was moved to Alpha 1 and still is to this day
When R246 JNL was Alpha 3, Which Sabre was Alpha 1? I know there was a P reg. Sabre but Im not sure of which one

That's all I have, A6 is the HP E604LHN still on the go (in vermillion) which I saw today (23.06.09), and there dosn't seem to be an A2, A4, or A5 these days. Hope this helps.
Brilliant, Thank You again Chris, P312 HVN is at Guisborough (Unless Its P314 HVN, but I'm sure it was 312) I seen M812 TVN as a Reserve at Skelton 2/3 weeks ago, still in its Vermillion livery. N748 YAJ is still with Skelton.
I also seen N750 YAJ couple of weeks ago on a Shout in Middlesbrough Town Centre alongside NY03 JUF, I didnt see its Station name.
N746 YAJ is still at Saltburn, Ive noticed that the fleet number of that Sabre is 22, Same as Saltburns old Pump Escape (THN 948S), They must like the number 22!
