(24 Nov 2016, 12:05 pm)Jimmi It's an Enviro400 City.The 9am from Middlesbrough is notorious for being delayed on run down from Newcastle due to heavy traffic. The 9am is then one of the busiest runs of day on X9.
Honestly don't know what is causing it to run late, think it's on the same board as yesterday. I got the 12:00 departure from Middlesbrough yesterday and it arrived nearly 20 minutes late and departed 10-15 minutes late, not helped that the X7 was on the stand at Middlesbrough upon arrival then the driver decided to take the route to Billingham Town Centre that has the level crossing and sure enough, we just hit it and got stuck there for 5-10 minutes.

(25 Nov 2016, 11:26 am)Andreos1 Pulled in to Heworth at 1100 heading south.
On a different note, an Optare bus in Saltmeadows seemed to be getting a shade of paint applied that looks like it belongs on the 28. Didn't get to have a proper look unfortunately.

(25 Nov 2016, 4:30 pm)Jimmi I would imagine that it has been on the 09:00 X9 from Middlesbrough all week. So I would gamble on it being on that run again tomorrow. If not, someone will probably post it's whereabouts.
