Aye, that's what he said.

Nah, that is how LCG registered them.

Different batches perhaps? At a glance, 3966/67 were first registered in March 2002, and the PJ02xxx batch appear to be May 2002 onwards. 

They're all registered in Preston, by the Preston DVSA office. They'll have most of the range of the Preston area, with the Carlisle office having a handful of letters for their own registrations.

yes got it in one
East Lancs registered the vehicles on behalf of Go-Ahead London hence the Preston / Carlisle Registrations.
6106 next stop screens are not working but the announcements still being said
Just of curiosity what are the passenger numbers like on the 792 (Blackhall Mill to Longbenton DSS) & 794 (Stanley to Longbenton DSS), and would there be any feasibility for a Service from Washington for example.
Where was 9105 today I hoped it on the 74 but 557 was allocated

Probably the local services in Hexham.

Just a guess.

Have to admit, I rather enjoyed the detour via Shipcote that the X21 has been taking, south bound, recently. A little more scenic than the police station and a block of flats.

Further to that, once its served the Cannon northbound it won't be able to detour via Dryden Road to Shipcote, because Beaconsfield Road is going to be closed during these coming roadworks.
Here's an idea, but how about some factual posts in response to a question? Rather than assumptions and guesses. He could probably come up with a dozen assumptions himself.
The fleet news doesn't even say that it has entered service at Hexham yet.

OK I wonder when it will make a public appearance

At least there'll be very comfortable tables to while away the delays

Could always turn right and go down Belle Vue Bank, then along Saltwell Road and rejoin the normal route at Harlow Green.

It does, normally it is allocated to 681, 185 and X81, the 74 normally get's darts. I use it fairly commonly, I know that they usually use darts.
