Because it was originally withdrawn, It will more likely only have been a short term plan to get a few of them back in service, Hence why its in a state.

All the Cadets/Merits and MPDs at Washington have lost there Northern Branding also. Would suspect that 4961-63 have lost theres aswell.

Should be, The Cricket's on until the 31st so the B10s should be there until then.

They will probably just chuck them on any route, Apart from the 21.

The Volvo B10BLEs should only really be in use today.

Chester-le-Street haven't got scholars to operate after today, as it's now the weekend (and half term). They wouldn't have had enough buses to cover scholars and the cricket shuttle buses, hence why Volvo B10BLEs were reinstated and single-decks allocated to service 21 today, but without scholars to consider, they should have enough buses.

I would imagine that those B10's will be once again withdrawn after the shuttle finishes tonight?

4905 was a delight on the Angel....

Do hope the once a year users enjoyed the comfort of the B7s. Don't worry about your regular customers GNE

Can't see it being long will probably be replaced by Solars from the prince bishops.

Shouldn't be too long as i don't think there's many Streetlites to arrive, could be around 8 left to arrive, at a guess.

I'm interested to see where these Blue Scania's will go, as nothing as been confirmed yet.

That's what I'm hoping too, I will more than likely spend my day round Chester and Stanley routes tomorrow.
