Thats correct Stagecoach did run the X90 to York. The train saw it off. If GNE did a winter market style service to York they be better off running it down the A19 calling at the same places as the X11 did.
718 & 720 have moved to Percy Main
With 6064 on the 47A, does this confirm rest of the B5s are for the RKR?
Bus times appears to show only one of the branded StreetLites on the 65, other three buses are solos.
Looks like 6048 transferred to deptford
7157 is currently at Deptford
6122, 6123, 6133, 6136, 6137, 6138 & 6139 have all been purchased by Johnson Bros for School Work seeing off any remaining Step Entrance vehicles which includes former Go North East 3658 (C658 LJR) which is still going strong in 2021, hopefully someone will purchase it for preservation -

I can remember seeing 3658 brand new in North Shields. Good to hear it's still going strong. Hope someone does presrve it.

Many a good memory of those buses on the 319 which was one of my local routes at the time,fabulous to seem em still going strong all these years later,just shows,they dont make em like that anymore
Love the 3 ingle seats at the left upstairs front. Meant you didn't have to worry about anyone sitting next to you. Plus the 3 seater above the driver was very comfortable too....... not to sure about the plastic seats Northumbria put on back three rows though!
6303 seems to have moved to Washington Depot

6048 is apparently on the 47s, not seen it. 6059 is now at Consett
What's up with 6057, is it awaiting parts? Apparently it hasn't been in service since the 14th of June
6100 seems to have moved to Riverside today
6301-6307 are all to leave Consett, 6056-6070 all are to be Consett based. RKR 47/47a to be B9 operated. (From an engineer at Consett).

Looks like 6065 - 6068 could be for X5/X15. Also I wonder if 6043- 6049 could be for the 47/47A with 6064 and 6069 as spares and 6085 -6089 refurbished for the 10. Don't know what will happen to 6070 unless they are short elsewhere at Consett.

A third spare at Consett I guess, the fact they removed the low bridge on the 78 suggests that they're going to end up on there at times.
Guessing the Streetdecks will be going to Chester Le Street for the 21 / 25 since there's no other deckers for it and The Angel has no spares atm.
