6018 (think it was anyway - same one as was on Metro Replacement duties over the weekend) was on the 61 this morning taking me to school, so it would have been on the 38s etc too... Could imagine it had quite a lot of free seats
And 3979 was on the 42s (or it might have been the other Vodafone one... One was on the 99 and the other the 42)!
Other than that, I didn't see any irregularities in Sunderland today! There seems to be at least one "Silver Arrows" Citaro on the X3 now which seems odd.
