It may have been to Jesmond for a chassis wash.

As it will have been a Stockton bus, as they have the three branded single deckers, it was probably running light for some reason.

Stockton has a chassis wash, so probably not that.

(02 Jul 2016, 7:31 pm)Adrian Severe congestion in the town about midday. No idea what the cause was, as I just avoided it instead.

A1 was a nightmare around the same time too. My X24 was 25 minutes late into the Metrocentre, and I'd gotten on it on time in Durham!

Do you no which bus was allocated to the x24

New branding is currently being applied to the Frequenta 64 branded E200's advertising free WiFi and USB charging points (even though they have plugs).

A selection of Durham buses have received rear adverts advertising stuff related to Arriva such as this one for WiFi on 1324. Saw one of these styled adverts on at least one of the standard liveried Pulsar's as well.

Would this person have inside knowledge (i.e. do they work for the company in some capacity?) or are they have likely to received the information from an unidentified third-party? 

Simply being a member of this forum, albeit one who doesn't post anymore, isn't exactly confirmation of this alleged service coming into fruition now does it?

I have to agree I'm afraid. Other members are going to be sceptical of information, unless it comes from someone who is regularly reliable with information, or is attributed to a source.

It's like me saying that I've heard they're re-routing the X12 via the moon, but I can't tell you who has told me.
