5333 has a bit of a lean to the left.
Guessing it dropped and couldn't get back up.

[BusLoverMum]

Yep, I got a photo of it at Milburngate 20 mins ago.

Just left Sunderland.

And left all logic behind, anyo,c as the registration isn't sequential. AZU!

Clearly taken before one of the traffic lights on that island next to it was demolished! Saw that at 5pm with an emergency light response vehicle next to it - whole pole broken with the light laying on the ground, accompanied by a couple of large pieces of car bumper!

Ouch! Though I have to say that roundabout is a Hellhole, I'm very lucky I managed to catch the Streetlite in the first place, A car nearly got infront of it!

Will the MetroCity be out on Sunday, just picking up and dropping off friends in the area early on and late on and may try and chance a photo of it in the area.

Which depot is operating the 900 tommorow?

Well looks like I won't be seeing it in the morning since the service doesn't start until after I leave the area, though I may drive past the depot on my way. Thank god for light nights, may get it when I get back.

It's the 901. And only until lunchtime, it seems.

Somewhere with enough spare buses

There is, A Chester example is on but I didn't get the fleetnumber.

6133 has also passed my house in the past 15 Mins.

Chester was looking sparse when I passed it earlier. Guessing they have some deckers out.

I believe two vehicles headed north this morning and have joined the Go North East fleet - but aren't of the Irish variety!

3872 was out on Metro Replacements. One of the first buses to leave the depot.

Correct!

No - they were taken to Stanley, but should go across to Saltmeadows next week to allow them to be prepared for service.

Is that a hint as to where they will be based which, given that 6122-6133 are already there, will hardly be surprising if they are.
