(18 Jan 2019, 6:31 am)Dan Was just ironing out a couple of Next Stop audio-visual niggles following the testing which was completed earlier in the week - as I mentioned before, all three were swapped over at Park Lane just after mid-day.
There was a launch planned with all of the Sunderland Connect partners, hence the mid-day entry into service, but sadly didn't go ahead due to the weather earlier in the day.

Roadworks on Wearmouth Bridge, some services diverted away. Sers 9, 20A, 35 & 700 remain normal route - catch Ser 35 to Southwick Grn to transfer onto 56's. Sers 20, 36 & 56 diverting via St. Michaels Way and Queen Alexandra Bridge towards South Shields, Castletown or Southwick.

(20 Jan 2019, 4:59 pm)Dan It wasn't supposed to be withdrawn on 22nd December - that was when it was originally planned to transfer from Riverside back to Percy Main (i.e. in line with the end of the end of Enchanted Belsay).
As 9083 was VOR hence leaving Percy Main short of a double-deck, 6017 transferred back to Percy Main earlier than planned.

(20 Jan 2019, 5:19 pm)Michael Thanks, why haven't they started from 5243?, seems odd they started half way through, unless the 5 and 50 will stop interworking, meaning only the 50 will be branded?

(20 Jan 2019, 5:22 pm)Dan 5255 - 5260 were repainted first, back in early 2013.
The others were only repainted during 2016 (when the 5 started interworking with the 50), so in theory (maybe not correctly so) the bodywork/paint condition should be better on those buses.

(20 Jan 2019, 6:28 pm)JM03 What about 5254. Only been painted for a year
(20 Jan 2019, 6:52 pm)Michael Any updates on the new Consett Depot?, like will be ready to open next month?, what services will be running from it?
