When I saw it, I thought it was a mistake I can't remember Stagecoach doing any replacement service of any sort.

Due to no single operator being able to cover the Metro Replacement 901 on this weekend, Nexus has requested assistance from all operators regionwide to run the 901. Should see lots of variety from operators not usually seen on Metro Replacement.

So I'd imagine GNE/Stanley/JH's will all be out aswell. Wonder if Arriva will be carrying any.

I'd better apply to Nexus for a permit to take pictures on their premises!

On the Thursday, I wonder whether would increase the 9 to deckers, or put it to every 15 mins, and name it the X9, and extend it to Pelaw every 30 mins. Hopefully they could get some spare buses & drivers.

Also who has the 900

I mean, do we even know who is Operating that massive metro contract?

Rings a bell. Can remember them covering work when the Shields blockade was on for the new station.

(15 Jun 2022, 3:03 pm)Unber43 When I saw it, I thought it was a mistake I can't remember Stagecoach doing any replacement service of any sort.

In August 2018 they operated the 900 using some 19 vehicles operating Benton-St James.  Later on the same weekend saw five Metro replacement services operated (numbers 900-904), rather than just the usual 900/901, though these were operated by GNE and ANE.

Stagecoach and Arriva by all accounts for the 901 tomorrow, bare bones suggest with 19 minute turn arounds the whole service could be done with nine vehicles.
