(07 Feb 2022, 10:17 am)Wybus The morning short 50 at 07:40 from Washington to Durham now seems to be allocated an X Lines X1 Streetdeck. I'm sure it used to be run from Chester le Street before the changesYes, that one entertained littlun while we waited for his taxi. Almost as much as the angel that appeared on it, a few weeks ago. Corporate, this morning.

6376 on the 56 - I must say it looks nice, could we see a order placed? Maybe a test.
Also wonder when the 60 will be due the next set of vehciles as it seems to be in the 'flagship' route brands, and is quite busy.
5363 on the 33 & 2A I would love to see GNE get a few of these for maybe the 6/12/12A in the future
8347 was on the Q3 late this afternoon, couldn't miss it passing my shop in Wallsend with it being white.
Also noted an Omnicity floating around, didn't really check on bus times to see if it was in service or not.

(14 Feb 2022, 8:46 pm)peter If the frequency reduction on the 20 is permanent, I reckon we could see the 60 gain some of the ex-Prince Bishops Streetlites. Given that only 13 of the current 16 would be needed, the three remaining alongside 5438-5441 could gain the new Drifter livery. The older fleet of 5369-5376 could then be used as spares instead.

(14 Feb 2022, 9:09 pm)Michael I agree, the current Drifters don't have WIFI etc either but are likely to get an upgrade.
When will see the Drifter/Blue Brands?

(14 Feb 2022, 9:21 pm)Dan The Drifter buses have Wi-Fi and next stop announcements (and have from new). The only thing they lack is high back seats and USB charging points.

(14 Feb 2022, 10:06 pm)Omega54 Honestly same with the 4, get those buses off (when money comes obvs) get biggger buses in and get them onto 55/61/35 as they can't be upgraded iirc
