(15 Dec 2021, 11:07 pm)Keeiajs Problem is Tuesday there was two solo's on the 60, a Ex-Saltwell Park on the 9, Berries spare on the 9/5. And there was like 2 drifters on the 9/5 but a 60 on the 2/2A. I think 5369/5376 either will become the dedicated spare for the 60, if and when they get repainted .
Does it matter?,would you rather have the bus not turn up at all?

Kind Regards

If it doesn't matter why brand them, if they are going to be all mixed up whats the point in branding.

Alls i can say is it is to make the buses look more attractive and to influence that the bus is a better source than a car.
When it comes to brands alls it really is is it being a bigger advertisement for a route. really getting customers to try this route if they havent.

I don't see why tbh. They aren't Euro 6. 

Also what happened to 6334, that has been off for ages.

5426 had a massive pannel missing today as it was coming down A690, something happened and it must have came flying off. There was no sign of it on the bus so it may have flew off somewhere probs on the A690 earlier. 

Was replaced when it reached Sunderland Interchange.

Not sure it’s been mentioned anywhere, but a crusader B9 appeared to have broken down on Saturday while operating an X10 (I presume) the bus seemed abandoned in the bus stop at Dalton Park, for at least two hours, which did cause difficulties for other buses using the stop.

That wins hands down to be fair.

Some companies claim to have 'congestion-busting buses', but it's nice to see drivers taking the initiative to ensure that;s the case.

Kind of reminds me of an Arriva MetroRider I travelled on from Barnard Castle to Richmond. The windows were so caked in mud you couldn't see outside from the passenger saloon, and at one point the ride got so bumpy I was convinced the driver took a shortcut across a field.

Seems to be 3 X20's off Today
3x Hybrids off, with 2-3 Spares ones one. (So 5 Hybrids are off)
3x Drifters (they have had good reliability recently)

X20's with the 10' Plates are really struggling to be reliable. It might be too earlier for a younger bus to replace the citaros but in a new years it probably will be needed.

6064 hasn't been in service for 4 months

The hybrids seem to be struggling at Consett seeing as they're always off road.
