Must of been covering the 25, they even covered a 4. and the 937. 

Getting some business like

So far today at Deptford, there is 3 Prince Bishops on the 61, with 3 spares on the 20 (including a solo, and a saltwell park). 

There is only 2 X20's on. 

3-4 Single Deckers on the 56
Two drifters on 9/5 & 55(which goes onto 9&5) There is a solo on the 60
A saltwell park on 35, Cherry on the 20. 
Also a Prince Bishops on the 9, when there is a saltwell park on the 20
I do wonder what will cover the 9&5 when 8340-8346 go to Percy Main, with 8343 on X39 today. There seems to be a a reliability issue, seems to happen when you take 3 year old buses off and replace them with 12 year old ones.

I don't think all of thr 83## StreetLite are moving. I think it's only 8343/8344/8345/8346

Seems to be the perfect storm of vandalism, lack of available parts and old unreliable buses (the Mercs) at Deptford at the minute.

Maybe, but when there are 10.8m streetlites all over the place (which could easily replace the covering ones on the 9&5) 

There are 3 20's on 61, which could have easily been replaced by the the spare branded ones on the 35, with 35's being on the 20. 

There would be roughly enough Branded buses for each allocated route if they did them properly

I thought they would need 6.

Why 6


41/41A, 30 minutes each (requires 2)

19, 1 an hour to/from Cramlington. 1 to Northumberland Park & North Shields (requires 2)

2 spare. Because Percy Main, need some Euro 5 spares, so the Euro 6 can keep onto 309/10/11 & 1

The PVR of the 19 is going to be 3, 2 buses on the long journeys, 1 on the short and the PVR of the 41/41A is going to be 3, 40 minute round trip on a 15 minute frequency. Think 7 of the Streetlites will be transferring.

6174 is unusally on the 84 today.

Given the Sunday PVR of 3x, why was only 6308 out on the X21 today alongside 6334 & 6335 as opposed to another 2x out of 6309-14?

Not saying it's reliability issues of course, could be for various operational reasons.

6146 on the 56. It will be the 1004 departure from Park Lane

5467 broken down near Central Station,no idea what service it was on,checked GNE on Twitter and the only breakdowns i can find for services in that area are the 10 and X71

Stopped tracking on the 51 this morning around 8am

5417 is currently on the 82

6302 is currently on the 82, is there a shortage of Solos at Washington i've seen quite a few streetlites and omnidekkas on the 82 & 84 this week.

There are so many wrong allocations at Go North East these days I’m not sure why we record them!

Just spotted Citaro 5326 on the 65. Has Peterlee depot closed yet?

Also I'm on Prince Bishops 5436 on the 61 although it seems today the 61's been allocated whatever they found round the back (there's a Solo on it too, didn't get the number).

Also what looked like a B9 on the 35

Deptford were doing so well.

There are two solo's on the 60, with 2 60's on the 9&5

Several 9 allocated buses on the 20 & 35, with Prince Bishops being on the 2 & 61

There are half of the versa's off, with one being on the 9

There is only one violet on out of 4.

There are a double decker on the 55 & 35.
