(25 Aug 2016, 8:47 pm)Jimmi Kingsley's certainly would appear to have some involvement with the Tall Ships Park and Ride's as I was at their depot today and they were looking to be preparing the Trident's, certain one of them had a relevant destination on the screen for the event.

Was blinded up for Newcastle - 21.
Driver at wheel (as opposed to a fitter) and wasn't carrying passengers.

(27 Aug 2016, 8:01 am)Swiny1 Morning. Is it true that services X1, 4, and 50 are going to be operated out of Deptford. While services 9 (possibly only short runs) and service 88 operated out of Washington?

Tyne Tees Express branded 6045 currently failed in a lay by on the A19 just after the Sunderland turn off heading to Middlesbrough
Yeh makes no sense to me but heard they are looking to make Washington a low cost unit

(27 Aug 2016, 8:22 am)Jamie M 88 was moved to Riverside not long ago because of the issues thrown up with it being Washington run.Would it not more more sense to shift the 50, X1 and 4 to Chester Le Street? But there again, space is a big issue though. Wonder how the dead mileage would be covered though. The old X2 service could make a comeback and have it inter working with the X1 on a 20 minute frequency (10 minutes combined between Galleries and Newcastle) with changeovers happening at Park Lane.
If X1 was going to be moved, I'd say to Riverside because deptford is even further away. It's like moving 21 to be Stanley run instead of CLS.
The 9 is a similar story, it doesn't go too near to Washington.
This is nothing but my opinion, but none of this would make much sense to me.
