When the OmniCities go for their MAX refurb for the X66, what busses are to be used for replacements on the route until the Omni's return?

Welcome Back by Northern156, on Flickr

4661 worked the first 185 under Arriva operation this morning. Notably this was also the last Omnicity to go along the route in December 2013 on the 685.

Spotted 4809 back at Faverdale last week, still awaiting some repairs, notice the absence of a glass door panel.

Does this run light from Jesmond?

Or does it continue from one of the short runs to Hexham?

I was trying to work it out this morning, as it supposedly leads on from the 685. I'm not sure there are any more short runs to Hexham any more. Not sure because the Northumberland County Council timetable is different to the Arriva one on their website - it doesn't include the first bus into Carlisle Mon-Sat mornings.

I think all 85/685s run straight through to Carlisle now, excepting X85s which go to Hexham - but there are two eastbound ones in the morning and two westbound ones in the evening.

If the 185 vehicle does run light from Jesmond, I don't think the PVR would be the same for the amount of Omnicities they have though??

Haha! Wouldn't say it's 'very unlikely', mind, unless there was a low bridge on the route preventing it from happening... Blyth have something of reputation in the odd workings field!
