(09 Nov 2016, 7:09 pm)Michael wrote The X6 and X7 will be ran by Peterlee and will probables be allocated the Citaro's anyway with a spare one coming in to cover a 5 PVR?What will X7 be allocated
If all the Citaros from Deptford and the Durham Diamond citaro's went to Peterlee, they'll be a massive amount of spares
(11 Nov 2016, 11:09 am)Michael wrote Wonder when the Angel gets new buses, if it'll go every 7-8 minutes on the full route, it'll require 19 buses, i would imagine 2 or 3 spares so 21-22 buses will be required.
Least then it would have the same allocation through out!

Can't see the 21 running every 7/8 minutes for the full route, can't really see any major service changes taking place myself, probably just minor changes.
(11 Nov 2016, 11:20 am)Michael wrote Oops, edited my post to add about the 5 year grant.
Why not?, it would be good for the route and passengers, more buses to Durham for them.
(11 Nov 2016, 11:25 am)Jimmi wrote I just can't see it being worthy enough of a 7/8 minute frequency between Durham and Chester-le-Street especially as the 50, X21 and X22 run in the gaps between 21's between Durham and Chester-le-Street although the 50 takes a longer route.
I wish they would increase the Sunday frequency to every 20 minutes for the full route to Durham.

The metrocity was tested on 20s and 16s and streetlites are probably/have been bought for either.

10A arrives at 27 and 57 then departs at 35 and 05 as the 10A?
10B arrives at 37 and 07 and departs at 45 and 15 at the 10B?
(12 Nov 2016, 10:11 am)S813 FVK wrote That is correct. The TEN services no longer interwork with eachother which is the reason why the TEN PVR rose from 13 to 14 meaning 6084 was (and still is supposed to be when not on the X9/X10) allocated everyday.Still see one or two in the evening interworking, or sundays. There seems to be fleet number allocations too, somewhere. Always see the same buses ending up terminating at hexham.

• 10 Streetlites for Durham Diamond – 9 PVR, 1 spare.
Fleet movements:
• 5 Citaro’s to Riverside for the ToonLink (meaning no Omnicities at that depot)
• 6 Citaro’s remain at Stanley for the Toonlink
• Omnicities from Riverside (5) and Stanley (7) to South Tyne (9 PVR), 3 spares to spread around the depots with Omnicities
• 8 Versa’s from the South Tyne to a spare role replacing Scania’s.
