Repainting of Coast & Country Streetlites
Repainting of Coast & Country Streetlites
(07 Jan 2022, 5:34 pm)peter It was definitely 13 when the service changes happened in September. At some point it's been reduced from every 12 to 15 minutes so now is only 11 like you say - not sure if that was announced anywhere as being temporary or permanent?Changed on 25th September when a "temporary" timetable was introduced (according to the printed leaflet) - but as it will shortly have been temporary for 4 months I wonder if it is now permanent?
If it's to stay that way it supports my theory that most if not all of 6301-6307 will be used as the Euro 6 vehicles on the 26/50. Then I can see 6364 become an X-Lines spare at Washington (alongside a branded spare) displacing 6376 to Chester-le-Street as spare for the X21 alongside 6377, then 6331-6333 to Chester-le-Street as Angel spares

(08 Jan 2022, 12:43 am)busmanT Changed on 25th September when a "temporary" timetable was introduced (according to the printed leaflet) - but as it will shortly have been temporary for 4 months I wonder if it is now permanent?I suppose the driver shortages haven't ended yet so it could go back to 12 minutes...however given frequency reductions elsewhere with the likes of the X45/46, I imagine it could quite easily end up being permanent. I know the reduction to the 20 was originally listed as temporary but given it's rumoured the 55 and X20 are being retimed to coordinate with the 20 on Durham Road, I wonder if that's an indication that it will become permanent too.

(21 Jan 2022, 6:23 pm)Omega54 Now that you have just brought it up, it does seem werid.but the Castleside extension was moved onto the 78 from the 16
Maybe the Castleside extension is in its final weeks/months.
Would be nice to get another V service.
Maybe V4 with Versa's would be nice.

(11 Feb 2022, 10:04 am)Ancelljb I believe it's 3. 5405 and 5408 are currently being done, and 5407 is still in service in Coast and Country to be done once the others return.
(11 Feb 2022, 6:42 pm)Dan 5405 and 5408 returned to Go North East yesterday, so just 5407.Thank you

back in service
(16 Feb 2022, 12:30 am)peter As the PVR of the 78 is now 8 will a fleet liveried example being joining 5407?I think they might leave it at 7 with a fleet liveried one making the 8. That makes it easier in the future if they withdrew the Consett to Castleside part and replaced it with a Venture service.

(21 Feb 2022, 3:15 pm)TEN 6083What is happening with 5401 the fleet liveried one. Could this one be getting Country Ranger to make up the PVR of 8?
