Must note that it has fabric go moquette seating rather than e-leather.

Given what its for, this personally comes as no suprise.

What I do find a bit trivial is the ex-GSC Citaros retaining their Bluestar fleet names. It’s something I noticed the other day, but shrugged it off thinking it wasn’t fully prepared.

They should do this when consett opens

47*- riverside

6- riverside (as already intended)

X30/X31/peak X32- riverside

6/A- riverside/consett shared route (like the Arriva X12 is with stockton/belmont)

16/A- conset/chester le street shared services

The routes not mentioned stay at consett

47* once it moves to riverside renumber it the 10C make timetable alternations(so that the 10C/A can switch at blackhall mill and newcastle this will also mean timetable alternations for the 10A) make minor route alternations repaint 6118-21 to tyne valley ten add NSAs and plugs and you have a new part of the tyne valley ten.

Bear in mind that if the 47 moved back to Riverside, the PVR would need to increase to 5x vehicles for timekeeping.

The Citaro are being repainted shortly, removal of the Bluestar name is likely to damage the paintwork (and as they are blue they are being left on)

Is there any change of allocation to the 680N?just wondering because I use it everyday for school and the load of changes.
It was a coaster in the morning and either blue arrows or solar eclipses in the afternoon (did take coater on it afterschool sometimes too until replaced)

Joke flattened... I have a sneaky suspicion the service may have been operated by Bridlington though, but don't quote me on that. 

It was never a successful service iirc. It certainly didn't run this year.

Just seen 723, from what I could see it’s for the big leather seats, couldn’t see to well from a far, diss anyone know if they’ve been given the new seats?

[JM03]

6147 is in bensham and not in the 11, is it replacing a broken down one or going to?
