Looks like the 19 is already running late, the 10:55 from Seaburn, has just left now.

Christ I was joking when I suggested the 19 could be an Open Top tour of the Sunderland North estates. I suspect an E200 would  be overkill passenger-wise so why on earth an open top decker would be allocated is beyond me!

I suppose it's a nice experience for the families rather than seeing the amazing sights of Marley Potts from 14 feet in the air.

Also slightly baffled - surely it would make more sense to allocate them to the E1/2/6 (along with the ADL E400 on weekends where they have spares) with the ADL E300 (or E200 with E300 used on the other local services) being used on service 19..?

17240/17643 are both out of service, 17645 is still being used as a route learner for Shields drivers for 10/11.

When the 22 starts next week the requirement is three, so the 19 will be hit and miss, remember these Tridents are very tired having all four working may be a task for the Wheatsheaf!

Tbh I don't understand why they were moved to Sunderland in the first place. By looking at a photo I took yesterday. They have removed all the prices they had on the side in the red banner

They can't work in Newcastle under CAZ restrictions, the 22 was a popular service, as long as the six weeks aren't a washout it should be relatively well used. The Hop on Hop off would have been a better filler of the now blank banners on the side, that's how most remember them. and the pets go free thing is a bit pointless, when was the last time you heard a driver charge for a dog  Cry They've had enough time to remove the Tynemouth and Whitley Bay legends, There's the Groyne, Souter, Seaburn and Roker lighthouses and the Beaches and Marsden Rock that need emblazoning... As for 17643, they might as well have put that in corporate colours, only a third of a repaint needed  Idea

I'm surprised if they didn't want to run the seasider anymore. It wouldn't surprise me Wheatshef (ignore spelling) debrand them and do something with them

Absolute waste of time. An open top should run the coast only seaburn to South Shields
My daughter was excited to ride it along the coast no it’s not going to happen

17240 didn't manage to complete it's first turn of the day sadly. It's first revenue earning trip in two years ended prematurely on Sea Road, Shields seafront.

If it only did the Coast from Seaburn to Shields, it would miss out great views of Roker Pier. Also, think of the views from Lizard Lane on the E2 and E6.
