I'm still waiting on a rare working on the 42A. Last month. Services 42 41 11 and 19 all had a rare working at least more than once. Still waiting on a rare workings on the 42A. Last one was December 15th. Optare Solo SR 633 broke down at Dinnington. A Scania OmniCity replaced it. Then that got replaced by another one at Wallsend. Then that finshed at Kingston Park and 633 took back over

Aye. Was really happy to see rare workings on then. Especially the E200MMC. That blew my mind
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2021 - MichealAaron - 10 Feb 2021

5294/8332 & 8333 were both VOR as were signed off for issues which had not been fixed by the engineers, not the first time I have heard this being said in the past few weeks.

We have a Prince bishop on the black cats 2 today

Keep seeing prince bishop vehicles being used on the x20 talk about confused people waiting for a 20

It was 3963 yesterday, one of the native Volvo B7/Geminis, not one of the ex-London dual-door variety.

That's the correct allocation during the current limited timetables - the driver has no facilities to use at Sainsbury's currently so a compromise (whilst the buses are surplus anyway) is for them to have a bus with high-back seats and tables to use during their break.

What facilities were on offer to the drivers at Sainsburys?
I'd imagine having use of a fancy bus would be nicer anyway

I believe there is a cafe within the store at Team Valley.
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2021 - Rapidsnap - 23 Feb 2021
Be more peaceful inside the bus rather then dealing with a noisy cafe.

Ah, yes there is. It's not a very nice cafe mind, even by Sainsbury's standards. I went in once and it was absolutely rotten.
I'd definitely pick sitting in the bus over going in there!
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2021 - Rob44 - 23 Feb 2021
Cheers Dan. I'm used to seeing those old red Double decker's on that service.
