(24 Jul 2015, 5:36 pm)R852 PRG I'd have thought so, given that the number of Tridents at Stanley has decreased. I would have hoped for some Olympians too, because Stagecoach said in a tweet that all of their shuttles were to be operated by double deckers. I initially thought that they could put some of the R-reg Alexander-bodied examples out on their shuttles, but seeing as they have quite a few E400s and possibly the Tridents from Stockton; that might not be so, there could be a contractual requirement that specifies low-floor vehicles.

(24 Jul 2015, 5:09 pm)Dan A large number of double-deck vehicles from Riverside, Chester-le-Street, Stanley and Percy Main are on loan to Deptford at present and should return on Sunday night after the Airshow is finished.
In the past I think Deptford has primarily operated the A1 service with its own fleet of vehicles, but I think this year we will see a bit more variety on this service...

(24 Jul 2015, 5:55 pm)Dan This is by no means all of the vehicles in use but I can confirm the following are all at Deptford (or now out on Airshow shuttles):
Riverside's 3966, 3967, 3970, 3971, 3972, 3973, 3974, 3975.
Chester-le-Street's 6024

Certainly confirms why I saw a Vyking with the 'A2' destination entering Gateshead Interchange then...

I was there too when the Vyking pulled in, I was on the 95/96/X30/X31/X70/X71 stand.

I notice that 657 has already become victim to a bomber from Stanley, I see there are a few spots of bird faeces on the front window; https://www.flickr.com/photos/127739730@...ed-public/
Supposed to be good luck at the end of the day.

(24 Jul 2015, 8:26 pm)S813 FVK I'm assuming 9109 (YY64 GWX) has been collected by Alexander Dennis by now or are they instead leaving it until tomorrow morning?
