When the 18 ran to Four Lane Ends in the mornings they used a decker which dropped onto one of the first Buddle Road 1's. It's justified deckers at peak times, but must be more beneficial to fully allocate rather than interwork further boards.
This sounds like every other route bar the 60s at Slatyford at peak times, MAN infestation.
22342 has returned from repaint.
Well, 22076 is the first training MAN to hit the roads - just passed me on Wallsend High Street

There was a Dots E300 on 13 this afternoon too. I guess they get allocated when they're short. The 13 also gets anything that is poorly or is due in for inspection as it passes the depot gates so is easy to get buses off. Equally they'll be replaced with whatever is fixed or off inspection in the depot.

That one is well overdue. Rear has been a state ever since it was chucking out heaps of black smoke a couple of years back.
12077 should be at Sunderland now for paint
