Unless I've missed another bus being branded there's always going to be at least one unbranded or wrongly branded bus on the X18 while the summer timetable is running . It now has a PVR of 6 but there are only 5 X18 branded buses...

On the Mouth of the Tyne weekend in July, will Jesmond use some of their double deckers on the Sunday 306 / 308 or will Blyth position some of theirs to Jesmond for the Sunday daytime?

Not 100% certain (yet) but 1485 has just left Stockton light after a driver's break making it possibly one of the buses working the 17/27 this evening.

Not a rare working as such, but a rare sight. Moments after Durham's 1595 passed through Stockton on the 1620 from Newcastle, Stockton's 1559 turned up light from Brotton - the backshift leading driver having covered 5/5As was doing the Cunningham Drive 15s tonight. And as such, 1559 was the staff transport back to the depot (the other was 1486 - both vehicles are normally off 15s I understand)
