(18 Sep 2018, 7:23 am)Tom Are 6911 and 6912 at Percy Main yet? Never seen them, and there seems to be a high amount of Cobalt Clippers and Coasters being used on Scholars.

6912 has been present at the depot but hasn't moved from the spot near the front of the main shed, there was an engineer doing some work on it last Thursday.

X31 terminating at Royal hotel and then right at the roundabout, following one way system up to the roundabout and then onwards to depot.

Metro minis just omit the bus station.

All else terminates or continues onwards from the ASDA, omitting bus station.

As of 1522 now open again, 3 minutes after giving out the first instructions on where to terminate.

724/725 are currently on the 18, according to the app.

I would imagine the Versa's have left Crook now?

It is indeed on the 309 to remove any speculation.

Possibly relates to the first three items on the news page. 6915 was one of the ones that hadn't been repainted, so possibly doing that before sending it across to Percy Main with 6017 covering until then?

There's currently issues at Percy Main depot due to the wind blowing off part of the roof.

I believe that will be the one I saw being sanded down in Saltmeadows, or the one that had just been painted.

8324's blind is scrolling, although it only says "Chester-Le-Street".

Looks quite smart when it scrolls, as it doesn't look cramped.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Fault with the display on that bus. 8307 is the same.

Depot hopes to have a sufficient number of spare buses next week to get it off the road for it to be looked at.

Neebody reads them anyway so I can't see the difference it'd make

I actually think the single point looks smarter.
