(01 Jan 2016, 5:36 pm)Adrian Boxing Day service iirc. It was before the M1 route was changed to what the 4 is now.
I don't think 4937 has ever been a Washington bus either.

(01 Jan 2016, 5:41 pm)Davie Wasn't last boxing day the first ever time Washington (And Stanley) had operated their services? I'm pretty sure Depford used to operate all of Washington's service on boxing day. I know for sure the X1 used to be allocated Prince Bishops Solars, then in 2014 it was allocated Fab 57 B9 (as well as 6099 & 6100) so maybe that might be why?

(01 Jan 2016, 5:44 pm)R852 PRG In 2014, the X1 was operated with Deptford-based B9TLs but driven by Washington drivers I believe.
(01 Jan 2016, 5:55 pm)Dan Washington drivers may have volunteered to work out of Deptford Depot that day - certainly wasn't just Washington drivers though.

Out of interest, is anybody aware of whether or not some special services operated today? I remember the Jewish scholars services that Riverside do operated on New Year's Day last year, using Riverside's Olympians, and then I seem to recall the X40 was in operation with a reduced PVR, and using some ''TEN'' B9TLs. Does anybody know if anything similar has happened today?

Something that has always seemed to puzzle me is that some of the ''Tyne Tees Express'' B9TLs have red leather headrests on the seating, and some don't. Anybody know why this is?
(01 Jan 2016, 7:51 pm)Davie 6056 - 6083 also have them.

(01 Jan 2016, 8:12 pm)R852 PRG That's common knowledge. I'm asking as to why some of the batch that are allocated to the X9/X10 (6043-6048) have the red leather headrests, and some don't. I think the first three (6043-6045) do and the last three (6046-6048) don't, based on my observations, and I'm curious as to why there is an inconsistency.Maybe they did but then got removed?
