Looks like they've renamed the 821X to the X21S. I wonder if it's a contracted service because I'm fairly sure Arriva ran a service exactly like that

Surely these are just extra services for New College Durham for Covid and social distancing, since they'd fill the normal bus and are all terminating there. The 28 extra I guess is for the school at Stanley from Ouston and Pelton.

Nah, it's to Lord Lawson. Ran for a few years now.

Ah my mistake, mixed the schools up.

Mercs on the 19, that's something I didn't think I'd ever see. (They've replaced the two Scania's which pretty much only ran on the 19 - 5273 / 5274)

5273/74 shouldn’t have ever been allocated to the 19. The 19 is supposed to be allocated Solos.

The Crusader Citaro will be operating dupes, mainly for Stagecoach and Arriva.

They're always or always were on though especially the last few weeks. (5274 being on yesterday before it's gone to Riverside).

Fair on the Citaro's though.

Over the summer the scholars services which 5273/74 are supposed to be allocated to won’t have been running. The reason for their transfer to Riverside is due to the loss of these contracts.

The transfer of the Citaros to Percy Main is unrelated, and wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the short-notice award of extra contracts from Stagecoach.

Makes sense then, always wondered why there was 2 stray Omnicities randomly left at Percy Main, had a feeling they were school contacts though.

With the routemaster being assigned to scholars, will they require a conductor?

It's when it (inevitably) rocks up on a commercial service the excitement really starts!

Not sure if anything has been confirmed anywhere else, but I think this was where the rumour started.
