I saw that at Park Lane, along with 644 which was on the 78.

Theres been quite a few streetlites/Versas on 700s recently. As well as a lot of Ventures on the 78 with Deckers on Venture routes.

I think that's because 5400, 5407 and 5461 have been VOR for months now. 643 is now parked up, missing a rear bumper at Consett now so maybe it will change to more corporate streetlites on the 78 and deckers to help out  on the 6 instead of all streetlites?

Riverside deckers all over the place tonight.
93/94 B9 on the 21 and a 27 branded B9 on the X10.

Noticed a Dora the explorer operating on the 35 this morning

5384 on X15, looking very overcrowded!

It seems like 5492 & 5495 (Green Arrows) are both at Consett on the 16/16A's with 5384 (Ex-Quaycity Versa) on X5/X15, as well as 723 (Voyager Solo) at Hexham. Consett seems to be down at least 4 Euro 6 Streetlites, 2 400MMCs, 3 Hybrids, and 3 Country Rangers. 5401 (Durham Culture Bid), has entered service at Deptford in Corporate Livery yesterday on the 20 and is now on the South Tyneside Circuit today - (5,9,24,26)

6058 on the X72

723 back at Hexham today likely covering for MOT’s amongst other solo’s, seen at Ovington on the 684

It seems to have replaced 6098 to do the return leg towards Sunderland.

Aye 6098 sat at Gateshead

[attachment=10428]Ok so as you all may know with the route changes on Sunday coming I have noticed that most the X-line routes have been on wrong routes such as 6312 being on the 12 or the 94 now I am just curious as if this is just deliberate allocated or to surprise us all

I've been seeing X-Lines Streetdecks on the 50, 34, etc. on pretty much a daily basis recently.

Well, there was a loop on the X21, yesterday, so tit for tat!

It's deliberate, 6312 has reoccurring fault and nearly every driver on the X21 now stops and parks it up when the fault occurs.

You'll notice it's been on 93/94 for the past week to save losing mileage

Fix the fault?

You would think that would be logical thing to do, its been to Volvo. Not driven it since it came back so it may be fixed now.

It seems like 6309 has made its way to Consett, currently on 47

Voltra 8805 is on the 49/49A

6352 on the 21
690 on CLS locals

Not one to make a fuss over allocations but they have been really funky lately

You don't say!

Washington now run the Chester-le-Street Town Service, so a Little Pinks is the correct vehicle allocation.

717 has been withdrawn.
