Much else happening through that way? Ended up getting most of the Metro replacement stuff at Pelaw, as Metro staff were out in force at Heworth. Low sun most of the morning didn't help either!

Nobody and nothing on the tracks from what I have seen on 6100!

The gates for SoL were open so I think they're using that as an access point though.

Sounds about right. There were 3 at the top of the escalators at Heworth, but none on the platform telling passengers where the Metros are headed. Baring in mind everything is running into Platform 1.

I went through Heworth yesterday and 6 replacement vehicles (mixture if the three operators) were parked around the back, leaving very little room for service work.
The queue at the front for the buses were huge and that was after several gave up and jumped on the 27.
