North East Buses

bustimes has 7411 on the X20 today! That would be a nice trip to do whilst the Volvo B7's are still around!

And it looks like more strange allocations at Ashington like 2816 on the X15 and 3 Enviro 400's on the 2.

Ashington is desperate for it's new buses. There's seems to be a complete missing board on the 57/57A atm as 2849 seems to be knackered (again). There's also a Decker on aswell.

1571 on the 62

7532 and 7533 both noted working for Jesmond this morning, while both 1495/1537 are tracking on Ashington runs. I assume this has something to do with the upcoming Metro closure and giving Jesmond higher capacity vehicles to deal with it?

Last couple of days there has been Blyth buses at Ashington. 7635 yesterday on the X14 and 7608 today on the X15.

Not really a working, but spotted one of ANE's X93/4 liveried Gemini deckers being towed into Jesmond this evening by Alpha. Didn't get near enough to get fleet number or reg, but Bus Times would suggest it was 7406.

Also spotted a Journey Mark liveried Plaxton Centro inside Jesmond. Probably 1923 ?

Could be 1536 - sure that one is there and 1535 is at Blyth.

2704 did a round trip on the X20 today (Ashington - Alnwick, Alnwick - Newcastle, Newcastle - Ashington) before being replaced by 7563.

X93 B9TL just seen heading east on the felling bypass NIS, any ideas what it's doing and where its been?

Spotted it crossing over the Tyne Bridge heading into Newcastle at around 1130.

2854 straight out into service at Stockton - out on 5E board, doing 5s and 29s all day

1446/69 are off to Redcar in exchange for 2824/34 returning for the week
Meanwhile Darlington are to receive 1448/53/94 in exchange for 3 Solos - so far, one swap has taken place and 2854 is now at Stockton with 1448 at Darlington and 1453 is en-route. With the arrival of the E200MMCs at Darlington at the end of the month, this is likely to be the last year for Solos on Yarm Fair week.

Redcar giving passengers and uncomfortable ride on the x4 with 2516 today

One of the P&R Gemini's looked forlorn on the A19 tonight.

Was parked up in a lay by on the new widened stretch at Norton not too long ago. 
Possibly still there!
