Was around 8 minutes late when it left Durham Bus Station. No idea if it has made up anymore time as it isn't being tracked on the map.

4651 on 7, has now been replaced with an Enviro 400 (probably 7535).

They've been taking the Streetlites off for routine maintenance, 1414 was put on the X1 this afternoon and 1416 was still on today as well.

X13 still has 1 board booked for Gemini working.
Likewise, unless it's changed recently, one trip on the 51 at peak time is on a Nexus board (works 1 am 51 then 84/84A then 1 trip on 51)

...but let's face it - there was probably more than one Nexus Solo on the 51 today. There is every other day of the week, after all.

Yes, the photograph was taken at around 16:45.

Was on the X12 all day (or at least was on there this morning)

Saw the tail end of this when I was in Bedlington, was it an ALX400? (So one of 7445/6?, thought it was a DLA initially, however you saying it was a B7 has made me query this...)
