North East Buses

34605 on the 10/11
36971 on the 20

28018's front window has a small crack in it.

24001 getting a lift home courtesy of Alpha this evening.
The back end was filthy and initially, it looked like smoke damage.
As I got closer, it looked like muck - rather than smoke.

It's back out again. 
Noted it this morning. The back end has had a clean too.

Is there a reason why the South Shields ADL E300s have had the "Get there with E's" tagline removed?

When did 19204 go to Slatyford ? Been on Xpress duties seen it at Eldon Square earlier on the X87

35189 is my bus to work this morning but its a proper bone shaker... Horrible

I agree completely, it's awful compared to 34605.

At certain times it's also screeching.

Must say I quite like having the odd ride on the Darts - doesn't feel like they've aged particularly well but they add a bit of variety to the fleet compared to the rest of the Enviros.

One to note is the reappearance at Stockton of 22047, back from its trip to the Highlands and presently parked in the corner of the yard, nearest to the line-up of 'Dotty' E300s, older E300s and its remaining front-line-service sisters. I believe still parked alongside - converted but as yet still in standard corporate livery - is the depot's new trainer, 22075.

Permanent move three week ago on the back of PVR reductions on the 12. Could also see 19205 joining it after Shields are done with it.

All Darts that were parked in Hartlepool have now left the yard

19205 was parked at the back of Slatyford the other week has it gone back to sheilds ?

Could well have done now.

35195 has landed at Slatyford, seen today on service 35.

Is there any light in 22511 entering service at Slatyford depot?

Gas Bus 28005 was used on a special shuttle service today:

Most likely the wrong thread, but is this the same bus?

I would say it is given the fact the special shuttle was operating from Central Station to the Theatre Royal.

Amazing, thanks!

19200 out and about sporting a fresh coat of paint

Currently on the X24, which has just left Hastings Hill towards Newcastle and there's only around 12 seats left.

Glad to see it busy, what is the seating capacity for the Omnilinks?

Also there's at least 2 Omnilinks out today.

Edit:

18:40 X24 had also left quite full.

I think the seating capacity is 51.  Don't quote me on that, though.
