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.

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.

Also on some journeys around 15:30 passengers waiting at Framwellgate Moor, Salutation and by Aykley Heads and Country Hall often get left behind, believe me happened to me all the time, got so fed up of buses going past full I started getting the 21 into Durham.

There was one on again today but there is 9 E200's and doesn't the 64 have a PVR of 8? meaning one is free to be allocated elsewhere.

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.

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.

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.

Solos on the 64 really annoyed me when I was at college as it would always pop up at the busiest time (whenever I got an early finish usually at around 1520)

The most shocking is MAX 1415 which I think has done the X12/X2 once, even with 4 Gemini's missing today it still didn't make it out on there and was on the 22 instead.

If you think Belmont are bad, you should see Jesmond. There are worse than Blyth at times.
They've decided to allocate a Solo to the 306 most days now... And the 52/53 branded ALX300s are on the 43/44/45 more than they are the 52/53!

Possibly worth mentioning that 7619 is still away at Cummins down in West Yorkshire, it hasn't been refurbished as yet. (Also there is 27739...)

I imagine it will be local to the X1 route, so maybe one of the following:

Darlington
Bishop Auckland
Crook

Unless it's Stockton for the X12.
