It will be used on the Durham Diamond 16/16A services for the first two weeks.
That's Saturday sorted, then!

Hopefully out in service by the weekend - I want to blag another ride on it!

SVC's back seat is peeling away, exposing the back of the engine bay container - belting out red hot air.

Quite a few of these are deteriorating and have mismatch seats et cetera. Some of the back seats aren't ecen connected to the floor and freely slide side to side! Would love to see a refresh.

We were upstairs on the metro Radio one, last week, and every single time the bus pulled away, something clanked loudly at the back - a bit like a metal door opening and shutting.

I think they done a good job with the Omnidekkas cleaning them up, particular the ones which got the newer seats. For me who used to get them every morning, I would take them over A trident or President!
