Filling Potholes, why don't they just completely close it and resurface it from the town center to the A1, would only take a couple of weeks

The pothole camera was around our village, yesterday. Actually surprised it didn't fall down one - there's some serious subsidence on the road it was surveying. (and it did explain why DCC was bizarrely vacuuming up the grit it had spread on the road, just 2 hours previously!)

As reported earlier in the odd workings thread, 1406 back in service at Darlington following MAX refurbishment.

Rescuing the X12?

May be just off to get some work done. There's not been a full complement of them out for a while.

Off to Ashington to really piss off those who dislike Streetlites on the X21? (If so, hope it's 1598. That's the super glitchy one)

It went straight over straight over the flyover and had Not In Service on the rear destination.

No pleasing them, they are annoyed by the regular allocation and whatever gets used in place of the regular allocation

Multi21 made a new thread for the news in March, while people continued to post in the thread for February, so when they were merged together, based on the time of the posts, his post ended up not being at the start of the thread.

The regular allocation of 7501-7509 is the reason why the Streetlites are having to be used. Need I say more?
