Optare Solo 705 has now arrived at Washington - after inspection, it will enter service, allowing 605 to transfer to another depot.

Do we know where 605 will transfer to? Also will Peterlee mercs go for repaint rebrand ahead of December's changes?

I think they'll go in to Corporate livery now, what would they brand them?

(08 Nov 2016, 8:28 pm)Michael wrote Good name tbh, maybe they should just take the Wear Tee's Xpress words off and replace them with that.

I think they'll only need the 4 Citaro's too so that's even better.

(08 Nov 2016, 8:31 pm)JP6004 wrote Exactly not a lot of adjustment required...

(08 Nov 2016, 8:35 pm)Michael wrote Think i worked it out wrong, think it's 5.

(08 Nov 2016, 8:36 pm)JP6004 wrote Just transfer 5332 across. Sure they could just hoy a Vyking on 27 lmao

(08 Nov 2016, 8:41 pm)Michael wrote , they might not even be allocated Citaro's yet but to keep the competition with Arriva, they should.

Hopefully the X5 (X35) will also gain Citaro's next year (If the services are going to Citaro allocated).

(09 Nov 2016, 12:23 am)Jamie M wrote Just to be clear, you want the running boards of buses on the 9, not public timetable journeys?
I am too interested to see the new management of boards.

1/2 - We've diverted our 20 & 20A Prince Bishops services via Claypath when they leave Durham to avoid delays on Leazes Bowl Roundabout.

2/2 - If you normally board the 20 & 20A at the underpass stop, we are stopping at the bus stop at the bottom of Claypath as an alternative.
