Perfect way for Social Distancing. Get those EYMS open top seaside vehicles up here and throw them onto 21

Nah, they'd be great on the X21. Totally safe on the motorway
Seems like L94 have been fully withdrawn. Citaros and streetlites operating 9, 35, 39, 61
Wright Solars most probably won't see any further use, although interestingly, 5208 was doing the staff shuttles yesterday morning so maybe one or two of them will be kept in the short term in a reserve capacity just in case required.
Is the ticket acceptance between operators still in place now the emergency timetables are no longer in place?
I would think there's be an announcement if they weren't anymore

Do we know how long it's going to remain in place?
The original announcement gave the impression that it would only be in place when they are running to emergency timetables.

Has anyone got an official list of what was withdrawn after the changes on the 1st June?
Bustimes.org is all over the place, however 5211 is the only Scania on the fleet list, on the site - but we knew they would go anyway.
Was on the GNE website today, I must say the update is fantastic. I was just looking at the Cobalt & Coast timetables, and I was really impressed by the frequency levels among those three routes. Really positive to see it retaining a high frequency throughout the day. GNE really lead the way up here..

The Cobalt & Coast routes will be in a strong position going forward. Arriva will no doubt pull the X6 (most routes & connections available with GNE / Stagecoach) and Stagecoach may even scale back the 1 & 22.
The Coast Road is another story too as Arriva will have to downsize and consolidate to get their fleet quality & standardization under control.

It definitely doesn't deserve new buses again, the fact is can't hold a night service shows that it isn't one of the most profitable services. Plus the X9/X10 is a totally different route to the X21 and they're only getting replacements as they're wrecked from putting a city bus up and down a 70mph road all day. The X30/31/45/46/47 deserve new buses for once and are arguably more important routes than the X21 which have always generally had new buses on especially the Red Kite's but are getting on a bit now.
I'd have to disagree about the X21.Whilst it was initially launched as a supplementary route, usage has grown to an extent now that it could be considered as a major route. Ok in the short term, GNE have had to scale back the frequency as well as the later journeys (X30 & X70 late journeys also affected so not just an X21 problem). I think going forward that if demand returns, perhaps a 20 minute frequency may be suitable with a 20/40 split to W.Auckland.
Go North East have launched a new system to help passengers know when the buses will be quiet or busy, called "When2travel"

And those
Percy mains are in service
Martjin Gilbert on his latest live stream has said next set of changes is probables gonna be around the start of July although he didn't say what they were, i would imagine this is likely to be the services which have temporary dropped in frequency, evening and weekend timetables back to normal - and any NEXUS contract changes.
