May be worth arranging somebody to have a look on the floor downstairs of 3832 - some idiots cracked an egg by throwing it and it went everywhere. The poor things did try to clean it up with tissues (and then throwing them out the window) but i doubt they would have done a brilliant job. It's up at Consett now i believe though.

It needn't be arranged - buses are cleaned each evening when they return to the depot.

Whatever happened to service 307, I haven't seen that service for months. Did it get withdrawn?

Aye, the Arriva service 51 took all of the passengers.

The 307 runs 1 journey per way to and from Newcastle. On another note, will 6116 or 6117 be getting a repaint when the new Flywheels are fitted?

Forgot to mention earlier, one of the Withdrawn Great Park and Ride Solar Fusions is parked up around the back of Saltmeadows Road Depot, anyone know which one it is, seen it as was passing on the 93 this afternoon.

Is 3814 still on loan to Washington Depot, if so what route is it on, or has another Vehicle been transferred over instead.

It has returned to Stanley, and I am not aware of any further vehicles transferring to Stanley on loan.

Was hoping it would be on the X1 or something.

Certainly not...

Stanley really shouldn't have sent an Olympian - they should have sent a low-floor single or double decker if they could spare a vehicle to loan to Washington baring in mind the Olympian was allocated from first run until last on the 85/86 yesterday...

Would have thought Stanley would of had a Low Floor spare *Cough* Venture Solo SR *Cough* or something else atleast, unless said low floor vehicles were VOR which I highly doubt.

Went back to Stanley this morning and more or less went straight to Consett to shuttle drivers from the depot. Won't have had its destinations re-programed. I'd expect that to be done tonight!

Would have been a lot better than 8248, that's for sure! Wink
