    I think I saw 6936 on the 26 earlier (about midday), if that's the ex EYMS B7TL with the longer wheelbase.

    I tracked 6937 on the 26 so it might be that one

    Checked the fleet list, definitely 6937, not 6936.

    Seems the cricket shuttle really threw a spanner in the works for Riverisde's allocations today.

    4940/66 on the 10A/B were the correct allocations for today (and will be on the same boards again on Wednesday). Both of these buses are float/reserve vehicles so released double-decks to the cricket. They should be withdrawn after service on Wednesday as technically they aren't required at Riverside (both having already been replaced in Riverside's main fleet allocation).


    5438 similarly on the 56, has released a double-deck to the cricket (5201 is technically the float/reserve bus which has enabled this to happen). Again on a specific board to be repeated on Wedensday.


    Don't think any of the others are particularly related to the cricket.

    Can't recall off the top of my head. It's on a board which should cope with single-deck capacity through the peaks.

    It was in Newcastle just before 1pm today if that helps in working out its movements.

    I think 6010 is on a board to end at Hexham depot tonight. It’s the 9:00 from Newcastle. Which depot will this board end at?

    I believe this one ends at Riverside after the 22:24 return from Hexham

    Purple Streetlite out on the 452 this morning.


    On another note, has anyone noticed how badly some of those purple Streetlites are peeling?

    The vinyls are seemingly coming away at the back end of a number of the vehicles.


    I've noticed a few of them over the last few weeks especially.

    I have noticed a few with missing branding lately, there's one with almost zero bits of branding on the near side as just about every panel has been replaced

    Aye, think I know which one you mean the branding on the near-side. Unless there's more than one!


    I've noticed them peeling towards the rear and on the engine cover. Not sure if there's too much heat coming out or what, but the peeling doesn't look too attractive.
