Full repaint - the reason it was at Wheatsheaf.

X34 branded 19641 on 30 in South Shields today (seen at 15:20). Suspect it was used to time correct the service?

27507 on 31.

27507 has been stuck on 30/31/36 cycle since end of July, working same board.
Seemingly an ongoing issue barring it from 100s currently. I'd be more surprised to hear it being on the 100!

Do wonder what kind of issue means it can't work the 100 but is ok on 30s.

I wonder if the ADL E400MMCs qualify for additional BSOG payments, like the Wright StreetDeck does?

If they do; it's quite likely Stagecoach will have designated services to allocate any spare ADL E400MMCs to, once PVR on services 62/63 has been met, in order to maximise the amount of mileage operated by these vehicles. There seems to be at least one E400MMC on the 71 service daily - so there must be a reason behind it.

Not looking into it, I can only speculate it's because 71/72 go past the depot like the sixties, so might get put on later in the day if not out from start of play, but yes it seems to be a favourite with the spare ones. 

Great North Road is the same speed limit as the A184, 50mph. There's quite a few hills to climb on 30s too in the West End. Is an odd one why it's restricted.
