Apologies for my error but it turns out that the vehicle that was towed away from Saltmeadows was 3880 W176 SCU (not 3876 as originally reported).
I found this on my key log. Why on earth does it say 6A, this service doesn't exist?

(23 Aug 2016, 9:38 am)Adrian There are some others like that. Different journey codes, but they still run as '6' for example.That run doesn't have anything odd about it from what I see on my timetable.
I recall there's a '45E' for Red Kites too?

(23 Aug 2016, 9:53 am)GX03 SVC Is 6A a variation to the main route for a journey or two a day, and requires more/less stops programmed into the ticket machine?No, it's the same run as the evening ones, which are just '6'. I've now double checked this, so I'm a bit more confused.
There's a 900A for the Airport-South Gosforth 900, as an example for having to have different stops/tickets loaded in the machine.

(21 Aug 2016, 1:40 pm)S813 FVK The app says it calls in but I just want to ask anyway (eventhough I don't need to use it).
Does the Q3 still bypass the Park and Ride site at Great Park on Sundays?

(23 Aug 2016, 2:12 pm)BJ10VUS Being at that time of the day, it could be for a journey which operates via Teams and Quayside, rather than those which run non-stop from Riverside Depot to Central Station?I didn't notice anything odd, nor did the timetable actually state anything was different. I would try and get it again to see if it was a once off something wrong with the machine, but I'm going to get the 5:20 97B.

(23 Aug 2016, 2:24 pm)JP6004 Im sure the X1 that goes throught Rainton at 8:07 is classed as X1E?

(23 Aug 2016, 2:56 pm)Dan Different codes are required for the ticket machine and destination for certain journeys - but these tend to show the normal daytime route number on the destination display itself.
The 'X1E' is indeed for an evening journey on service X1, running via Rainton Bridge Business Park.
The '6A' is a morning journey on service 6 which operates via Tanfield Lea - these journeys are highlighted on the normal customer timetable with a 'D'.
Others exist, such as the 47A. This is a Sunday morning journey which operates via Clasper Village, and is operated by Riverside.
'A' just tends to be a variation of the route, 'E' tends to be related to a variation of that service on an evening when 'A' cannot be used, and 'N' often tends to be related to Nexus (ie 33N for the Nexus-secured 33 service between Newcastle City Centre and Hollywood Avenue).
Having these variants allows different tickets to be sold, and ensures drivers select the correct destination for that particular journey. The destination display drives the Next Stop Announcement system, so if the driver was to select the wrong destination for that journey, the wrong stops would be announced.

(23 Aug 2016, 3:18 pm)Dan Driver has probably used the wrong journey number, in this instance. Easily done.Yep, understood
I was just explaining the reason why the 6A exists.
