(05 Sep 2017, 11:22 am)S830OFT Indigo Peterlee 663 is on Coast Road next to Jesmond Depot. Anyone know why it's over in Newcastle?
(05 Sep 2017, 12:21 pm)cbma06 I've heard that 705 been transferred to Peterlee, so looks like peterlee lost another solo from the original batch.

(05 Sep 2017, 12:48 pm)Dan It has transferred to Peterlee, but it's because the depot has gained additional work (not to allow another bus to be cascaded out).

(05 Sep 2017, 1:40 pm)Malarkey Leaving Washington without a spare for the Indigo Network, which would explain why 6042 was on the 82 yesterday, which according to the news has been Withdrawn.
With the operation of scholars 452 and the 968 transferring from Deptford Depot to Peterlee, why did a Bus from Deptford not transfer to Peterlee instead?
Looking at the fleet list for Washington Depot, there only spares are 5324/5337 & 5338, as 6141/6142 form part of the allocation for the X1.
I do hope once the B5TL's enter service that Washington receive a few B7 Geminis from Riverside, saying that they look like they are Stanley bound.

(05 Sep 2017, 1:46 pm)Dan Not quite.
Back in July, service 86 was revised to operate between Concord and The Galleries only (and hence the PVR of service 86 reduced to 1 vehicle, from 2). 705 was hence released for cascade back then, but used at Washington until 3rd September on a Miscellaneous Works board, so a double-deck vehicle could be released to Riverside for Metro Replacement.
As soon as the content of this Miscellaneous Works board was lost entirely on 3rd September, it was no longer required at Washington (which is why 705 transferred to Peterlee at the weekend).
So two spares for the X1 (currently 6141/42) - as before - with 3943 being allocated to scholars 885 and a peak-time X1 run.
Three spares for the 4 and 5/50 (5324, 5337 and 5338) - as before.
One spare for the indiGo Washington network - as before (but now covering a smaller PVR, so a higher spare vehicle percentage overall).
The B7TLs withdrawn from Washington are removed from the fleet as a result of the loss of Miscellaneous Works contracts.

It actually looks like the computer file for the design of the new X9 / X10 livery was corrupted when it was sent and mistakened for the new livery idea.

For the cycle event at blyth yesterday i seen the 309s were terminating at Old Hartley. Why did the destination say New Hartley? Its a totally different place and the 309 goes no where near it
