Are these going to be doing any other services besides the S1 shuttle?

When is the last day of the S1 shuttle?

Presumably these will be repainted from Bee Network Yellow into 2026 livery?

July 16th is the last day.

My honest guesses would be that they are going to replace the remaning Gemini 1 B9TLs and yeah most likely the 2026 Livery

Thank you. Much appreciated.

So they will most likely only be on the S1 in yellow livery, and will then be repainted into 2026 livery to replace the remaining old Geminis? I would like to get a photo of them in yellow livery.

6242 and 6243 are the next ones to be added onto Bustimes.

You mean 51's

I noticed 6242 was tracking on the 51s, and so I assumed they meant 51s. Double checked Bustimes in case they did mean 61s, but of course I remember now, Riverside don't operate the 61.

6243 also worked a couple of scholars routes this afternoon.

6244 and 6245 have still only done the S1 up to now.

All five ex Go North West have arrived and are all out today.

Oh so they must be replacing the Gemini 1s if they are only 5. Only 5 G1s left on the fleet list. Shame about the East Yorkshire ones going, did like them.

6187 has transfered to Riverside from Washington

No doubt covering the 11+ deckers that went to Silverstone.

6947 is out the the 51/52 etc today

6043 - Deptford to Riverside
6046/6047 - Deptford to Hexham

All movements occurred after the temporary Sunderland Connect Contract ended.

Ex Bee Network/Go-Ahead London B9 (6243) is shown on Bustimes.org as currently at Washington. Others from the batch look to be temporarily withdrawn for Repaint/Next Phase Flyover Demolition Works.

Last remaining Midi-Versa from the 10/11 reg batches that hanged on by a thread from being Withdrawn for over a year look to have finally and officially been withdrawn from service.

There's no shuttle service for phase 2 (some overnight closures later in the year) so imagine it'll just be repaints for the Bee's

6243 is at Riverside, service 85A is NOT operated by Washington

(22 Jul 2026, 5:08 pm)Retro Nero wrote [ -> ]6243 is at Riverside, service 85A is NOT operated by Washington

I think the confusion is being caused by the fact that the 85A am journey was being operated by Washington up to the end of last week as part of an X1 board. The X1 is now running to school holiday times but the 85A has still been running so Riverside has been running it as a stand alone journey. Bus Times has been ascribing it to Washington as block 7004 as it doesn't know any better.
