Actually it was a Wright Commander

Its been absolute hell to get services and allocations right and on time around Ashington with road works, accidents, traffic lights and traffic blocking the bus station entrance. The Coast and Castles routes seem to be coping alright, but there is no spare vehicles left without removing deckers off the Sapphire routes and sending them to Morpeth.
Saw that in Newcastle moments after I arrived on 6110

7487 still seeing use at Redcar. Noted on the 64 this evening.

What I'm guessing is 1303 still plodding on too. Noted on the 22 this evening.

Yup 1303 is still going. They still have the use of 7486/7/9 too - though 7489 doesn't appear to get used.

In a way, I'm quite pleased that it seems to be permanently going wrong, hopefully Arriva will notice that it's useless, and get something half decent to replace it, sooner rather than later! Wink
