(06 Sep 2017, 5:46 pm)park5354 5328-32 should be going to Deptford, with 5298-5304 to Hexham, and 5229-32 to Chester, with various older Scania going to Riverside (4937/4942/43/46).

Is 5229-32, still going to Chester?

Will Deptford keep 5333/5334 as spares for their services as it looks like the 35 (5325-32) and 61 will be citaro (5305-5309) along with the X5

If so where will 5335/36 go? as i imagine that 5337/38 will remain as Washington along with 5324.

Imo 5305-5309 should go on 61
5325-5331 should be the 35 allocation for sequence

Will any buses be withdrawn after tonight, as the golf is finished.

I can't get a full view of the fleet list on here, as i'm on my phone but i'm sure 4989- 92 is now Euro 5.

They're supposed to be going to Chester.

Just seen, 3941 - broken down at Prudhoe Rail Station at 5:00pm, with Volvo B9 Tyne Tees Express (6043) sat behind.

I couldn't see the driver just the engineers, all the rear compartments of 3941 were open with Blue oil type drums sat on the ground at the rear.

It transferred to Chester-le-Street this afternoon. 3942 similarly to Washington.

3964 then immediately loaned to Crook, due to shortages.


6115 is the fourth and final bus to receive branding for the Big Days Out campaign - this one carries a variant with a dinosaur on, for the Centre of Life.

Based on the fact that 3886/7/9 and 6032 still need to be withdrawn, 3941/2 transferring to Washington and 3963/4 to Chester-le-Street will allow 6141/2 and 6135/40 to all transfer to Stanley.

Spot on!

Given the shortages at Crook at the moment and the impact this has on Chester-le-Street's fleet, unlikely that Chester-le-Street's OmniDekka will cascade to Stanley immediately.

3963/64 should be the dedicated spares for the Angel 21 - bit of a throwback for Ambassador, if nothing else...
