I think Percy Main has gained a number of Omnidekkas in lieu of the 69xx Geminis.

At least two ADL E400MMC have gone to York on private hire for a staff day trip.

Gateshead 
Heworth 
Peterlee

Could just use the 4 trains an hour (at least)... which would take half the time and usually have v. cheap fares because of all the competition.

Have I imagined this or did Stagecoach Darlington not run it's X90 Newcastle - York originally, before scrapping the Darlington - York section?
Rapidsnap   06 Sep 2021, 11:07 am
Thats correct Stagecoach did run the X90 to York. The train saw it off. If GNE did a winter market style service to York they be better off running it down the A19 calling at the same places as the X11 did.

With 6064 on the 47A, does this confirm rest of the B5s are for the RKR?
Train8261   06 Sep 2021, 12:10 pm
6064 has returned
Drifter60   06 Sep 2021, 1:45 pm
Bus times appears to show only one of the branded StreetLites on the 65, other three buses are solos.

Love the 3 ingle seats at the left upstairs front. Meant you didn't have to worry about anyone sitting next to you. Plus the 3 seater above the driver was very comfortable too....... not to sure about the plastic seats Northumbria put on back three rows though!

6048 is apparently on the 47s, not seen it. 6059 is now at Consett
lxbical   13 Sep 2021, 7:50 pm
What's up with 6057, is it awaiting parts? Apparently it hasn't been in service since the 14th of June
Train8261   13 Sep 2021, 9:36 pm
6100 seems to have moved to Riverside today
Stanleyone   14 Sep 2021, 5:12 am
6301-6307 are all to leave Consett, 6056-6070 all are to be Consett based. RKR 47/47a to be B9 operated. (From an engineer at Consett).

Looks like 6065 - 6068 could be for X5/X15. Also I wonder if 6043- 6049 could be for the 47/47A with 6064 and 6069  as spares and 6085 -6089 refurbished for the 10. Don't know what will happen to 6070 unless they are short elsewhere at Consett.

A third spare at Consett I guess, the fact they removed the low bridge on the 78 suggests that they're going to end up on there at times.

Guessing the Streetdecks will be going to Chester Le Street for the 21 / 25 since there's no other deckers for it and The Angel has no spares atm.
