(29 Jan 2020, 8:12 pm)Rapidsnap You would think so, it showed up on the tracker doing the 12:00 from Newcastle, so I thought I catch it coming back from Boro before 3pm. Parked up near Heworth like a spider waiting for the fly to land. Only to look at the tracker to find it had been replaced by a B5TL, whats worse was a standard X9/X10 one too. Could at least being 6334/6335 for my troubles.
I was going to do an explorer tomorrow, but given it's ability to go out of service at a moments notice I think I be using the car again to track it down (If it's out).

Your text was within streetdeckfans post, so can't reply to you directly.
I think it went to Spennymoor, rather than West Auckland.
Obviously when GNE had Bishop ops, there were plenty of services kicking around the various Auckland's and beyond.
Services operated by The Way Ahead was
124 - Newcastle to West Auckland using Dennis Lance / Optare Sigmas - https://www.flickr.com/photos/jncarter1962/48339891302/
182 - Bishop Auckland to West Auckland using Optare MetroRiders - https://www.flickr.com/photos/jncarter1962/10160852795

Just done a flickr search but can't find any pics. Any ideas?

So I just watched the live stream again as the first time I was trying to listen to it over the working NSA on the X21!
For the people who don't have Facebook or can't be bothered to watch it, here are some of the key updates

(30 Jan 2020, 12:05 pm)ne14ne1 Ah okay cheers. I happened to be on it this morning actually.You don't generally look out the rear window, unless it's to 'distract' the car drivers behind!
Kinda surprised it was designed/applied to be honest when they’re trying to remove vinyls from windows.

(30 Jan 2020, 1:24 pm)Andreos1 Some car drivers seeing that, could end up travelling in comparative luxury.
Others are gonna end up massively disappointed!
As lovely and warm those rear seats can be, they're not gonna be a patch on bucket/sport style seats which are heated, recline and have additional lumbar support!
Can remember getting on a Solo for the first time one Sunday afternoon. I'd just finished a shift and they were covering on the 194. It may have been one of the Sxxx KNL batch.
Saw a lad I knew walking alongside the road. Turned to wave/acknowledge him through the rear window (well before mobile phones became all the rage) and encountered a carpeted wall.

Also, what's with the "It's bye from us" on the home page? Have I missed something?
(30 Jan 2020, 5:07 pm)Adrian The colour matching on that vinyl is awful. I recall this was a problem originally too, prior to the 'standing passengers' vinyl being applied?

(30 Jan 2020, 8:57 pm)streetdeckfan As a rule, I try to never sit downstairs, and never at the back! It's far too loud!
Plus, the rear windows are always too high to actually look out of so all you can see is sky unless you're standing up!

(30 Jan 2020, 9:19 pm)ne14ne1 Ah okay I didn’t realise you didn’t sit there. Keep them covered over then.
The back windows are at head height for those sat facing them - if only they could see through them.
