(05 Sep 2021, 9:14 am)Keeiajs 690 X1 (not particularly rare)Considering a quick check of bustimes suggests that a Solo has only been allocated to the X1 twice in the past month (today and yesterday) I'd say it is fairly rare actually
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Train8261 - 05 Sep 2021
I don't think it's a solo as someone told me yesterday they were wating to see it at Houghton and it was a streetdeck. Could be wrong though
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - L469 YVK - 05 Sep 2021
Unless ticket machine is wrong, 6331 is working the X45 ex Consett @1105. Subsequently, that then works on to the X30 ex Newcastle @1215. Will it need to divert to avoid the bridge in Dunston?

Can confirm the Little Pinks on the X1 is a streetdeck as it passed through Gateshead just now

(05 Sep 2021, 11:38 am)Keeiajs So just wrong ticket machineAnd therein lies the danger of reporting rare workings from bustimes rather than seeing them in person
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - V514DFT - 05 Sep 2021
According to the bus tracker on GNE website,8313 is out on the 52

Nothing is that rare anymore. I would argue that the only rare thing is when you see a Go North East bus on an Arriva or Stagecoach route but even that has become commonplace over the last year or so.
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Keeiajs - 05 Sep 2021
I would class as rare is a bus from another depot on a route. Or a mini bus on a high profile route. Or a single decker on the X9/10
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Rapidsnap - 06 Sep 2021
According to bus times, Yutong 5499 is on 51/52.

That's the correct allocation, now.
The ex-Peterlee indiGo Solos are going to be repainted for Sunderland District.

8337 is VOR at Deptford, so isn’t on the 57.
The 643 runs with an East Gateshead Loop bus (using the Loop bus that runs at peaks and night times only).
