(14 Dec 2018, 9:58 am)Jamie M EYMS are very rarely to be used on services so you can disregard those.
There's one of the unbranded dual door ones on the 10X at around 1650 sometimes and on a 93 arriving gateshead at around 1700. These vary from eclipses to plaxtons.
On paper; 6920 - 6941 should never be allocated to normal 'mainstream' commercial services, just the scholars contracts based at Riverside and Saltmeadows.
The following journeys are operated by Volvo B7s:
- 08:31 95 (Cragside Gardens - Gateshead) - East Lancs bodied Volvo B7
- ASDA Metrocentre Free Bus and 17:08 Q3 (Great Park - Newcastle) and 17:42 97 (Newcastle - Metrocentre) - Wright bodied Volvo B7
- 16:45 and 17:25 93 (Team Valley - Gateshead) and 18:08 92 (Team Valley - Wardley) - Wright bodied Volvo B7
- 16:20 X21 (Newcastle - Durham) - Wright bodied Volvo B7, usually 3965.
- 16:50 X21 (Newcastle - Durham) - Wright bodied Volvo B7
- 16:52 10X (Newcastle - Prudhoe) - Wright bodied Volvo B7
- 16:05 and 17:05 64 (Gateshead circular), 16:27 95 (Gateshead - Lobley Hill) and 16:41 95 (Lobley Hill - Gateshead) and 17:38 91 (Team Valley - Newcastle) - East Lancs bodied Volvo B7
Although the above is what is planned on paper, what happens on the ground is often different, so 6920 - 6941 could well find themselves allocated to any of the above...
