North East Buses

Front destination display on 1476 isn't working on the X12 tonight

Just seen the Yutong at Four Lane Ends today. I thought it was returned?

2845 has had seats retrommed in a new moquette, guessing all solos will be getting these

Is Darlington having issues with there omicities lately as the x66 and x67 allocation are all over the place

All 5 examples were on today according to BusTimes although seems like some of the examples haven't been on all day the last few days, 4651 seemingly only reappeared yesterday (on service 7).

4645 is restricted to service 2 due to having an issue making it unsuitable for out of town work, think it's either gearbox related or overheating.

Lately?!

4712 escorted back to redcar depot looks like suspension issues

Yesterday (Tues 24 Sept 2019) there were 2 * E400 on the 685 - seen passing each other in Brampton around 1440. More Omnicity problems? As it was a school day there should only have been 1 * E400 as planned (going to Carlisle) and the other (returning to Newcastle) would normally be a VDL substituting for a missing Omnicity.

7536 on the X21/ED4
7535 on the 10
4812 on the 10
1439 on X27

The E400s at Darlington can definitely fit under that bridge as I've been under there before on 7538: https://flic.kr/p/G2psSH

OmniDekka's can also fit.

I’m also sure that the ED4 doesn’t go under that bridge, it should have been 1593 that was on it but it got swapped when it came into the town to 7536

And as also stated the ED4 doesn't go under that low bridge in Seaham

1593 was allocated to service 7 a bit later in the afternoon.

1593 was the bus that replaced 7536
