Got my hopes up thinking there was a StreetDeck on the X21, then a B5 pulls up!

Tbf a B5 is superior to a streetdeck

On the motorway, yes, anywhere else, nope!

Green Arrow E200MMC NK69 FBA is on Q1/2

Is the 50 back to normal, either 6172 or 6173 (not sure which one), had an issue at the Galleries at about 09:30, driver seemed to be checking around front wheel on the cab side.

Just noticed on bus times 2099 logged as running on B1, presumably odd working on the beamish museum service but also on local service 34

Probably be returning? Maybe they will be using it on the B1 service. Tbh that would be a nice addition

Yeah wondered as it could be based at the depot recently built at beamish.

3998 is currently tracking on bus org as 999. Could be nothing but seems to be heading to town

Update 3998 seems to be doing toontour route for some reason

Could the reason be that it's a Toon Tour bus? Are you just bored?

On bustimes it looked to be on the 310, as it came from North Shields into Newcastle. A Toon Tour bus allocated to doing the route of Toon Tour is not a rare working!

Toontour doesn't run on a Friday. Plus. It's in low fell (as of typing this)

It’s doing a Private Hire for a local school. This type of thing happens all the time, no biggie!

Ah I see. Just looking at it's trip on bus org. Looks like a nice trip out. Should be a new sightseeing trip

It was doing a Private Hire for a School on the Toon Tour route today.

Noted and photo of 5508 on the Q3. Seemed to cover mileage and time for 5380 which came back on service at quayside.

7111 did one trip at Deptford on the 4274 scholars service this morning (24/5) before being sent back to Riverside and I had 5257 on the 4274 this afternoon.

Not sure where to post this. 6927 was on an 11 duplicate to West Denton this afterrnoon, but on bustimes it shows after West Denton it followed the 42A route to Wallsend. Could anyone shine any light on this? 42A duplicate perhaps?

It didn't follow the 42A route - it went straight to Percy Main depot via the A1 and A19.

Ah okay. Just with the map showing it running past Killingwoth and Dudley etc to Wallsend it looked a bit like a 42A trip, but having looked again it didn't go through and just went around them. Makes sense now. Thank you.

StreetLite 5391 on the 74.

Rainbow Gemini 6050 was bringing a spot of colour to the X66 this evening.

How many StreeLites are based at Hexham depot? I didn't know they had any until 5391 was on the 74 on Friday.
