(08 Nov 2016, 5:50 pm)BFK No.  It has already been done over the last 4 weeks for all Deptford drivers.  The route learning currently going on is for the Peterlee routes and changes.  Deptford will be supplying some drivers to Peterlee on a temporary basis.

It looked like the driver on the 9 I used didn't know the route and stalled the bus twice, even though that might be because of the age of the bus

Automatic gearboxes can't stall as such. It'll be some fault.

Torque Convertor failing to disconnect before coming to a standstill can stall the bus, And vice Versa for Accelerating. This is one of the more common faults but it of course be something else.

It could just be Driver Error but I'd hope not if he's done it repeatedly.

Optare MetroDecker 9099 will enter service tomorrow at Chester-le-Street on Angel service 21.

Optare Solo 705 has now arrived at Washington - after inspection, it will enter service, allowing 605 to transfer to another depot.

Good name tbh, maybe they should just take the Wear Tee's Xpress words off and replace them with that.


Think they'll need 5 Citaro's so i would think the spare from Deptford will be brought to Peterlee.

I think they'll only need the 4 Citaro's too so that's even better.

Exactly not a lot of adjustment required...

Tongue, they might not even be allocated Citaro's yet but to keep the competition with Arriva, they should.

Hopefully the X5 (X35) will also gain Citaro's next year (If the services are going to Citaro allocated).

Interesting! Didn't think they'd look past a Streetdeck.

Unless it's just to cover the massive amount of non hybrid workings kicking around

Just to be clear, you want the running boards of buses on the 9, not public timetable journeys?
I am too interested to see the new management of boards.
