I don't honestly know anymore - but that is the reason you never see a streetdeck or anything on any of the X30/31/70/71/72 its normally a streetlite due to the low bridge on the route

low bridge is on Ellison Road, served by the X30 and X31. every other route is pretty much fine as long as it's swapped off before running a X30 or X31.

6048 has been replaced by a E400MMC.

A more comprehensive answer rather than just, erm, someone told me, erm, near Stanley, erm, don't know but someone told me.

I know there was a low bridge - just didn't know where.

And neither did u

Did I not say, in Dunston?, then gave the height of the bridge? 

I did know about the bridge, but I did not know the height of the E400 was less than the height of the Streetdeck - an explanation stating that would have been an acceptable reply too.

694 - YJ13 HNZ on X6/62/38A

5408 is on the 309 to Newcastle

https://flic.kr/p/2nibA37

It’s just left cobalt heading towards Newcastle if anyone is after it

5363 also pulling X1 duties

5244 on the X1
18-00 at Gateshead towards Newcastle

Followed by 6901 on the 57

Venture on the 19

Was somewhat surprised to get to Park Lane and see the 78's had a bit of an upgrade in the form of 6347.


At least it's green

5498 on 29. Thinks its driver training is has a mentor with him. Also notice that the adverts for the different tickets you can get havent been updated with the current prices

Optare Versa 8325 was on X45 this afternoon - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...ateposted/

Why, is.5438 on 39/39A when 672 is on 60. 

Not to mention there is two drifters on 2/2A & 9

And a graphite on the 62

6997 tracking on the C&Cs this morning, is this really 6997 or is it a tracking error?

Might be a rarity to see any GNE bus on any route if things continue as they are.

Is 691 supposed to be on the 82, or is it regular now there are less little coasters?

Also 5478, 5479 or 8346 are also out across Washington tonight.

Washington gets whatever shoved on a evening now. 82/84/85 doesn't get deckers on a evening surprised it hasn't happened

Are these ran by Percy Main now on an evening, most of the allocations are percy main solos or streetlites.

26 sometimes get 309/10/11 vehicles, which they really don't need

Percy Main have been doing it since the 27th of March. Only evening 26 that don't interwork with the 50

82/84/85 are ran of ethier the 41/41A/1 and sometimes the 19

After all this talk of the B5 hybrids being knackered... There was one on the 78 tonight.
Didn't see the I'd, but BusTimes has it down as 6057 or 6061.
They also have 6067 noted as being on there too.

They do the 78 from Consett to Castleside every night. 

However there was on one all day today.

Was a little surprised when X-lines 5330 turn up on the 61.

6342 is tracking of the 21, is this right?

Yes. Consett covering milage on the 21 plus 5406 on the 8.

Odd to see Consett doing other depots work as they have had one of the worst driver shortages themselves.

I accepted the mission of photographing it at The Cannon however mission failed with the driver steaming along without stopping, end result was a blurred shot.

Me and the other driver had finished our shifts and had driving time left, no late milage to cover at Consett after we finished so might as well help other depots out!  Team work makes the dream work!
