As a result of an 8-week period of gas works in Skelton Green there is a shuttle bus operating between Lingdale and Skelton Green. 1303 has been allocated as an extra bus for Redcar to cover this.

4051 (S351 KHN) is no longer at Ashington. 1616 (S616 KHN) and 1646 (R421 COO) are still present at Ashington.
1303 was on shuttle all day Monday I believe but yesterday it was 1102 and then 1303.
Expect delays on services that serve Ferryhill due to a fire which closed some of the roads in Ferryhill earlier.
I continue to stand by my statement in saying the Durham service 64 needs bigger buses, saw a Enviro 200 arrive in Durham from Arnison Centre this afternoon and it was rammed with standees.
Single deckers cannot cope on a 10 minute frequency during term time with the school, New College and other passenger loads. More buses are needed from Framwellgate Moor from around 1515 not at 1630 when almost everyone has gone home.

(15 Apr 2015, 9:06 pm)aureolin I think there was one on today too? One made it on to the 57 yesterday also. Belmont will happily stick anything on the 6, as there was a period not so long go that there was a Solo allocated almost daily. I'd like to think that Sapphire will change their ways, but I'll not hold my breath.

(15 Apr 2015, 9:10 pm)Jimmi Some 6 workings are double deckers for interworking with school runs I believe.
Although the 6 chucks up any form of single decker, the Darts regularly appeared on there too.

(15 Apr 2015, 9:13 pm)aureolin Aye they are. It's not those I'm bothered about, it's more when you see stuff that shouldn't be on there. Belmont's allocations can tend to be quite shocking anyhow. I see it in action on a daily basis.
