(19 Mar 2016, 7:13 pm)South Tyne Lad Although 5390 operated the 85 last night.
The Byker ASDA A1/A2/A3 services require a minibus due to the nature of the route. When 563 cannot be allocated to this service, a "Nexus" branded Solo SR must cover it.
The usual process is for the "Nexus" branded Solo SR to come off service 516, and this service to gain a long wheelbase Solo from service 353. Service 353 is then allocated a red Optare Versa.
However, service 516 was allocated 5390 yesterday. This service runs onto the evening 85, which is the reason why you saw it on there.
