The 9 & 50 could be standalone, remaining at Deptford and Washington. Perhaps you could even give the 50 a summer extension to the seafront area too.
It's only the evening journeys on service 26 which are going to be operated by Percy Main (the transfer of the evening journeys on service 26 and Washington local services, plus service Q3 all day offsets the driver reduction due to service cancellation and contract loss at Percy Main). Daytime journeys on service 26 will still run from Washington and interwork with service 50.

Yeah, I realised that was just saying hypothetically I suppose. Apologies if that wasn’t clear. I suppose changes such as that will depend on bigger changes in other areas, later in the year.

The 50 is getting a bit crowded at the minute, think it needs to be every 20 minutes. Does the 26 get enough use to warrent 3bph?

Or it remains every 30 and gets allocated double-decks!
5x Streetdecks will be allocated (out of 11 PVR) from Monday.

Buses and lorries using the Tyne Tunnels will face a price rise from April 2022.
From April 11, the toll for the tunnels will increase by 20p for drivers of Class 3 vehicles, which includes LGVs, buses and vans over 3.5 tonnes in weight.

No start dates on any of them.
Could the 65 be linked with May contract changes?

Might be due to the closure of Peterlee outstation as the 65 would transfer, maybe just variation of timings at the beginning and end of the day

It wad 8344 you saw,it was my 310 on the way home from college
Off the top of my head, 2 boards of the 26 on an evening do only Luke's Lane to Shields. The rest interwork with the 50 and will still do so.

So 5 StreetDeck on the 26/50
Transfer of 5 StreetLite to Deptford for the 5/9
3 more StreetLite to Percy Main for 19/41/41A (2 already being there)

8343 is at Percy Main as well
Aye I seen that but it doesn't say that every board on the 41 will be operated by them. They're the only 2 services they can run on at Percy Main because of the LEZ.

65 I'm guessing will be the fact it's going direct via Leazes Road in Durham instead of via Claypath after 9pm from March 27th

It appears 5420/21 have transferred to Deptford, unsure if a loan or permanent transfer. 5411 and 5419 are also currently working from Deptford.
Are Consett still due to loose a couple of streetlites now the country rangers are back from refurb?

I'm guessing the 41/41A will have StreetLite allocated till the time on a evening when GCT take over as they have the contract on evening & Sunday for the 41A
Toontour return Saturday 9th April
