(17 Aug 2017, 12:15 pm)pdiddy Most of the staff don't mind working on a sunday ... it will be run with 4 Streetdecker .  Yes we used to do the X20 btween Durham and Bishop on a sunday but the timetable was impossible that's why it stopped. 

The X21 on a sunday will be normal full route up the motorway (except via Elvet)

(17 Aug 2017, 11:35 am)S813 FVK Is 6124 planned to lose its side flipdot display while its there? Would look nicer if it was replaced by an LED.

Yes - both 6122 and 6124 were planned to have their flipdot displays swapped for LEDs last year but the depot never managed to get round to doing it, so they will be done at Saltmeadows Road instead (6124 now, and 6122 when it goes for re-trim).

6124's re-trim won't be done yet - it should return to Saltmeadows Road again next month.

Looks like they will be needing a replacement Versa for the 34/34A based on the amount of fire damage.

Makes me wonder how many more vehicles are allowed to go up in flames before London comes calling asking questions, 5233, trident from Stanley & Percy main, 4949, 4931?, and now 8303. All in the space of 3 years. Maybe a rethink of preventative maintenance!!

Whilst you may have a point, they are different vehicle types involved and possible different causes.

Very true but a costly occurrence never the less. Does the cause of the fire ever get found out, let's say oil leaking from somewhere in the engine bay, are all versas then checked and any repair carried out?,
