It doesn't serve Durham Road, it goes from Silksworth, to Gilley Law, then through Farringdon, doing a loop around the Board Inn Roundabout to come back along Silksworth Road.
Well that’s what I thought until I tracked it going down Durham road as shown in the picture

Will the Ex-London B9TLs & 4x soon to be ex RK B9TLs not be used for the Coaster with the B5LHs going elsewhere?
What is the point would be a downgrade

Well, technically not as the ex London B9TLs are the same age as the Coaster B5LHs only missing high back seats & NSA's.
If the ex RK B9TLs were refurbishes into GNE spec and both examples were fitted with NSAs, they'd be fine for the Coaster.
724 appears to be working the 'Bournmoor shuttle'.
Still no idea what the timetable is meant to be.

Or Chester?
Either way, yeah - the stuff on this site indicates it's allocated to Percy Main.

Chester Road at Bournmoor will be closed westbound (towards Chester-le-Street) from Monday 29 July until Friday 27 September to allow for road reconstruction and utility works in conjunction with the new housing development at this location. During this closure; Services 4, 78 & 78A will be unable to serve Bournmoor (4, 78 & 78A) or Fence Houses (4) in a southerly direction. As such; a shuttle bus will be in operation, ran from Washington Depot. Optare Solo M890/Optare 724 (YJ13 HMY) will be the vehicle allocated, so this bus has transferred from Percy Main Depot to Washington.

Any idea where the timetable can be found?

Yeah, Ive copied the information from that page on to the changes thread a week or two back.
It was the info about 724 I was querying along with a timetable.
As I've only seen the shuttle laying over (on the one way system behind the old fire station), I'm keen to know the times it operates and the likely hood of it connecting nicely with an existing service.
If you're at Bournmoor and wanting to get to a point beyond Fencehouses traffic lights, it's a shuttle and then crossing a busy road to get a 71, then a walk or another change of bus.
On top of any waiting around there may be.
If a timetable was available, it might make that trip a little more achievable.

Every 28B ive been on does this too. I assumed it just wasn't programmed in due to it being an non peak service?

Does this mean that 6118-6121 that I’ve not accounted for in the figures could be staying at Consett after all?
Theres 28 streetdecks 3 E400

Were they programmed prior to the changes in May? I've never used the service, so I've no idea.

No idea. I travel quite a lot on this bus but only on Sundays when it terminates at kibblesworth. Through the week and saturdays i think it continues to CLS so not sure if there on for that route?

Think he’ll be in the same situation as most of the drivers who do scholars, at Consett there’s 6 guys who do the 877 as part of the kite board, that service hasn’t been cancelled (yet) but was ran by a streetlite, no idea if it will be ran by a streetdeck come September when new vehicles arrive and school returns.
