3875 and 4934 have been down Crook the last few days, due to other Pronto vehicles getting repairs, aswell as 6021 being withdrawn. I don't think there will be a set replacement for 6021. Just any vehicle that is spare at the time. When 3875 and 4934 go back to Chester for oil changes etc, crook will get something else. Maybe 3878 or 6026 whi knows

It's good to see another part of County Durham get a boxing day service. Hopefully it's handy enough for people to get to the bus station, given that Arriva aren't bothering to run any of their services to and from.

(10 Dec 2015, 4:32 pm)buss14 just thought i would suggest would it be more profession for go north east to brand another volvo b7 presindent for pronto service since 6021 broken

If the vehicles were likely to stay on the route for a while and there was likely to be a refresh, then yeah. It would probably make sense in my opinion.

The brand would be being diluted otherwise.
Suppose it isn't too different to the Gemini 1's that are utilised as spares, but are painted in the colours and contain the livery of the specific brand.

In the short-term, I don't think it is likely to cause too much damage to the brand.
Particularly as the peak runs use unbranded vehicles and we see spares on the route pretty regularly anyway.

Will there actually be any rare allocations to services this Boxing Day? I remember Dan posting a photo of the new indigo solos with the X1 one on, is there any relation to that? Why would they have Washington blinds as well as deptford ones too.

I think most if not all depots are open, so it shouldn't happen. Dan had posted that one service would be a planned odd working, but I can't recall what.

I think it was the 47 with Stanley operating it as opposed to Riverside. I think it will probably be Red Kite Streetlites though.

Its planned as northern omnidekkas, as dan pointed out. Capacity increase. Also the V7 & 16a will interwork with diamond citaros, capacity increase on the venture solos.
