There is a further 1 or possibly 2 further around the back of Saltmeadows. Likely to be same as the vehicle mentioned earlier.

Seen DLP264 arriving at Saltmeatows in its Original London livery at 0945. It came from the other side of Heworth Metro, so presumably came from the South via A194M. Straight round the back, out of sight of main road.

Perhaps GNE can retain the B7s, use them Tynemouth to St. Mary's or even Blyth , or do a stagecoach and put them on the X6, lovely  Big Grin Big Grin

Another open topper is former DLP254 - LJ51DJZ, there is a third one too. They must have 4 as the two I saw are in I believe were in Union Flag livery. As DLP254 and one other I could see are plain red base

Personally I always think these look odd as single doors. So used to seeing them as dual doors.

Believe they’re not sheltered at all. They have the two side windows (presumably to flow round from the front window) but no roof.
