6050 is now at Chester-le-Street, with 6301 transferring to Washington in lieu.

According to bustimes.org, its not out today, neither is 6301 but drivers will probables need training on 6301 before they're let loose on it!
I dont think drivers will need any training for 6301, it is the same layout as a streetlite in the cab, only difference is that it has an upstairs, switches are switches, they all look the same

Only drivers who operated from Deptford during lockdown and a select few who have previously worked from other depots will have had any experience with a StreetLite. So I would imagine there will be many who would need familled.

Out on the 21 this morning - 08:42 from Low Fell The Cannon into Newcastle for those that want a photo.
Again on the 21 - 09:20 out of Newcastle on the short to Chester Le Street
Well I certainly won't be getting any photos of it soon due to me being stuck in Hospital with a broken leg.
In return, 6301 is the 1707 off Newcastle X1
