Speaking of a-line, Dan Annis was covering an X1 in Aline Coaches 3 Spare Ticket Machine, with a OmiDekka Voyager, A-Line must run it after all. 

But in all seriousness GNE probs loned out a OmniDekka specifically for X1 coverage which is quite a good thing for them to do, I hope free of charge. Instead of being stuck on one of Alines Smaller Buses

There was a Drifter on the 20, and a graphite the other day, with a Prince Bishops on the 39A.

The Prince Bishops might have to have the branding updated to add, Grangetown, Ryhope, Dalton Park & Murton.
And while your at it might aswell add the 5 & 9 Branding to the 60

Bus Times says 5244 (Scania OmniCity) Operated the X85 this morning, and this evening. Was this actually the case or as I suspect a wrong bus/wrong ticket machine

8339 service 56
Venture Solo on 78
8331 on X20

648 on 2/2A
8340? 2/2A
5360 on X1

I saw the afternoon one. Can't say for definite it operated the morning journey, but it did yesterday morning and not the afternoon.

April 2022

5296 cherry heading to newcastle on the 56 now

3943 was on the X20 yesterday and broke down twice before it reached Langley Park and then went on the 56 at night and broke down at Concord, I was on it twice out of the three breakdowns. It's on the 61 today

Drifter on the 20 Saturday

Not a rare work but 5477 is causing traffic chaos in Wallsend by expiring at the Forum bus stop on the High Street.

3 Drifters on the 9/5

A Blonde and a Corporate on the 60

3943 broke down for the fouth time today since Friday (3 times on Friday twice on the X20 & 56) and today on the A690.

Drifter on the X20 on Saturday

So let's just see what happened at Percy Main today

2 decekrs were put onto the Q3.

2 QuayCity were put onto the 309/310/311(due to there being no deckers for scholar) I'm sure they could have swapped two for the 1 but nah

6101 saw its self on the 41/41A

3 decekrs were put onto the 1

Here it is, was quite a surprise when I was in Ryhope yesterday and this came hurtling round the corner towards me...

For the first time since the service changes, a Solo has been used out of Percy Main - 720 on the 41 and 41A.

So over the past few days we've had...

Deptford 

60's 55/X20
Berries, everywhere but there route, Langley park, Durham, Murton, Seaham, Newcastle, Wreckton, Jarrow, Sheilds. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw one on the 4th. 
6172 or 3 on the X20
3942 - 56 
Graphite on 210
Obvs  60 has had Optares, while the 9&5 take their buses

8306/5 have been back to their old Stopping grounds on the 2 (Formerly the 42), 60, 61. I was on 8305 when it was at CLS still had drifter branding at the front.

And consett has just been consett.

6174 (Voyager) on X5/X15

Is this a loan?

Theres an A-line pulsar on the X10 just departed Eldon square about 5 mins ago

That must be a fun ride, I know I'm all for no bells and whistles but from one extreme to another

Bustimes is saying 5202 is on the X66 which I doubt as it’s a driver trainer, wonder what it actually is

I've filmed and photographed this and 8347 on the 74 twice, once in each direction, today.

Why is there a Citaro on the X1, hope it comes off before rush hour?

Just passed an Xlines Streetdeck on the 50 - looked to be an X1 branded one going by the red external LEDs.

3943 - 2 (possibly one of the rarest working of the year)

Looking at bustimes, it was on the 61 in the day (and yesterday). https://bustimes.org/vehicles/39677?date=2022-04-14

Presumably it's just at Deptford for Scholars? If so, wouldn't be much of a stretch to see it in normal service this week and next.
