No, but I also saw it was replaced just after washington, surely there may have beena. 50 parked in Washington which they could have replaced it with.

5/9, the 50 no longer interworks with the 5 since Sept Changes. It now interworks with the 50/26. from Washington.

It’s the 9 that the 5 interworks with now, as such 5427 did a few runs on the 9 today. And in the evening, 5/9 also work onto the 60, so 5427 also did a round trip to Parkside and back.

There was also a Durham Diamond on today. I think its because when the 78 moved to Consett, they lost the Durham Diamond Streetlites, and the 78 needs atleast USB's on the 2 hour route, so Venture or a Double Decker replaces it, so I think you'll see a lot more of double deckers in Sunderland & Chester-Le-Street.

if true this is the rarest working of the month if not all year 3942 on 61

61 not 60! No low bridge, straight along the top of Seaham to Dalton Park. 
Although I’m not sure a B7 on the 61 is the rarest of rare workings, definitely been deckers on the 61 before. Although granted, deckers aren’t on all that often.

Omni will have been 5272. I think it was mentioned as helping to cover Deptford’s solo/citaro repaints. It’s actually been on the 61 a fair amount recently.

5274 also there, the 60 is a low bridge one. Also the 60 was a double decker the last service every day it was a 56. 

61 used to get loads of Vykings for schools, however that X22 on 61 hast to be the rarest bus on a route this year.

You're right! Well spotted!

Tbh I think the 60 would be a double decker if there wasn't a low bridge at Dawdon.

Oh, did you think it was just one in the 2019 livery, but in X22...it also did a 2A which is the new rarest working
