North East Buses

7108 A10EYC is currently on the Xlines X9/X10 cycle along with 7111 N21GNE

Would 6338-40 not count as a rare & odd working for the X30's / X70's (for daytimes at least) unless GNE have quietly ditched the bike guarantee?

Anyone managed to get photos of Sandyford Square Car Park at Civic Centre being used as a temporary bus station today?

I think that the 47/A need to have their vehicles ready first before we can class that as a rare working since from what i've seen streetdecks or b5's have been allocated to 47/A

Versa seen on 730 earlier on.

Does this service interwork with anything as far as I'm aware Consett don't have any Versas

8297, has been on all day and 730 is standalone and operated by Chester-le-Street depot.

Thanks for that, any particular reason the 730 is ran from Chester, with it operating literally a stones throw away from the Consett Depot.

Stanley is actually closer to Chester-le-Street than Consett (by one minute), but it mainly relates to the current staffing position and aligning the depot allocation to the same depot as all the other work which has been continued on a commercial basis until Durham County Council have time to tender and procure the routes.

Bus times is showing 2099 on the 21 to Chester-le-Street anyone confirm

5323 on the 56

Scania 6166 had been working for Deptford the past couple of days

9062 on 9

This isn't really much of a rare allocation however...honestly 

5334 & 5336 (S&D Violet) 35 
5335 (S&D Violet) 2A

& 5295 (S&D Cherry) on 55. Which is a bit werid tbh.

ITS A MIRACLE 

All X21 buses are out. Still 1 omnidekka out though. But all 7 are out..will all 7 be in service all day?

They have been past few days. The PVR is 8 and either 6334 or 6335 should make up the allocation. Unless anyone has a crystal ball, you wont get an answer to that question

A correct allocation I believe. Short run to Wrekenton after a 94.
