Saw the green TEN (6071) through Corbridge this evening (about 7:15 ish).

Not impressed - nor was my neighbour who got off it.

The 1712 number 8 from Hytlon Retail Park is now a "Black Cats" Streetlite, well it was today, sure it was a Vyking before. (although its the first time I've used it in a while).

Always have liked the B7RLEs/Eclipses but the ones I have been on recently have been pretty awful, wonder what's happened to them? 4978 had to be replaced by 4954 today as it was really struggling, and this is on the 11 which isn't demanding at all - so dread to think how they do on the 19!

They've never been on the lightest routes. They've been pretty good workhorses

Yeah I guess that is why - the 19 won't help them at all. Maybe it is time for newer buses on the 19...

Other than the B7TL President's/Vyking's and 6099, on loan to Deptford were 3889, 6078, 6123, 6140, 6142 & 6143.

Most probably weren't on loan - most depots provide buses and drivers for the Airshow, and they don't have to come from Deptford.
