Washington depot is getting the 50's & 5's as from 10th April 2016!
88's going to the Riverside!
changes happening to the 82's aswell.
Take this with a pinch of salt, wouldn't bother me, might have 563.
EDIT: From Steve Morrell. Seems legit.

If the 50 is going to Washington, I wonder if we'll see a timetable change for it soon? There are a number of short starts in each direction on a morning, and the last 3x 50s of the day terminate in Chester. I can't see that much light running lasting long.
(07 Feb 2016, 1:41 pm)DanPicken Further to this the rest of 8/78 will go to Chester-le-Street.

(07 Feb 2016, 1:59 pm)DanPicken They'd just shuttle to Washington maybe. The 47 seems to be going to Stanley.

(07 Feb 2016, 2:05 pm)Michael Forgot about the 47, ye seems a good idea.
Looks like GNE are having a depot shuffle, wonder if Deptford will gain or loose anything...
I heard just before Christmas that the 36 was moving to Chester in January... that move seems to of been stopped... hence why i didn't mention it before.
Not sure if the 36 should move to Chester because of mileage etc, if the proposed move ever comes back up...

(07 Feb 2016, 2:08 pm)Andreos1 Starting to wonder if space needs to be made at Washington to accomodate the Omni's, that won't be sorted by shifting the 88's to Riverside.
Will this coincide with the changes to the 82 perhaps?

(07 Feb 2016, 2:13 pm)Adrian When has space ever bothered Washington? Buses are left parked on the main road overnight.
There are 8 Versas for the 88/88A. The 50 has 6 Omnis at Chester, and the 5 requires 4 vehicles. So at a simplistic view, it's only a maximum increase of 2 vehicles.
The 82/82A has been FUBAR anyway. The changes every 6 month or so have seen to that. The only section that seems to do anything in my opinion, is the Galleries-Barmston part. They could do with doing what they originally done with the M2/M3, and redesign the Washington locals from scratch.

(07 Feb 2016, 2:14 pm)Michael I thought it wouldn't move, seems daft if it did.
Citaro is any of these moves happpening, if so can you give us a date?

(07 Feb 2016, 2:29 pm)Andreos1 Particularly the Birtley section.
Granted councillors have had their fingers in the pie, but the Harras Bank farce and the extension from Birtley up to Northside (so passengers can get from the shops but not to them) hasn't helped.
The last few runs are Chester - Houghton with light runs to Deptford from Chester.
If Chester were going to get anything, those runs would make sense.

(07 Feb 2016, 2:33 pm)Adrian I don't think Morrisons have helped either. Why go all the way to Washington for a supermarket, when there's a cracking one now opened at Birtley.
