Saw the green TEN (6071) through Corbridge this evening (about 7:15 ish).

Not impressed - nor was my neighbour who got off it.

Bit of a reverse pattern on citi link 58 as they had part of the same batch of citaros when they were new before they went bendy.

5225 broke down outside of Heworth Cemetery this evening, with one engineer attending it..

There used to be one for Arriva's 356 (now parts of the 53/54). Couldn't put what it said up on here though!

5464 has decided to stop in front of Subway in Sunderland on Holmeside in the parking area.

8245 broke down at the junction of Regent St and High St in Gateshead around 4 30 the advert on the side said "Yes You Can"  but obviously it could not !!!

The 1712 number 8 from Hytlon Retail Park is now a "Black Cats" Streetlite, well it was today, sure it was a Vyking before. (although its the first time I've used it in a while).

6147 over the pits at Stanley depot, green top if I remember correctly

Always have liked the B7RLEs/Eclipses but the ones I have been on recently have been pretty awful, wonder what's happened to them? 4978 had to be replaced by 4954 today as it was really struggling, and this is on the 11 which isn't demanding at all - so dread to think how they do on the 19!

They've never been on the lightest routes. They've been pretty good workhorses

Yeah I guess that is why - the 19 won't help them at all. Maybe it is time for newer buses on the 19...

Apparently 6083 has been rebranded into Tyne Valley Ten livery according to a comment on one of my Flickr photos

Which buses are been used on the shuttles for the Airshow today?


How many more Citaro's need to be refurbished now?

Other than the B7TL President's/Vyking's and 6099, on loan to Deptford were 3889, 6078, 6123, 6140, 6142 & 6143.

Most probably weren't on loan - most depots provide buses and drivers for the Airshow, and they don't have to come from Deptford.
