I would like to know when it's entering service as I'm off the next 2 days, but I don't want to waste my time going out if it's not out and about tomorrow.

Hopefully when it is out and about, it'll show on the tracker, unlike the E200EV which I think only started showing on it's last day

It says so on the timetable, so I'd guess so.

Either that or it's a mistake, which I'd lean towards considering what the have running on the route

As have 6101 and 6103. As mentioned previously, 6933 is on loan to Percy Main to cover for the ones away for vinyl fitting.

6113, 6104 and 6105 planned for fitting next week.

No. It's an Optare demonstrator model, although after Go North East it's likely that it's going to spend much of its life in London for trials.

Strangely enough I haven't seen 6933 on the 309 given i'm now working up the Cobalt, has 6100 gone for refurb as it has been over a week since I last seen it?

Appreciate I'm being facicious - but to the lay person at least... Who is the operator?

It's barely noticeable and in with it spending a significant part of its route, in areas dominated by other operators, I'd have thought the idea would have been to push more than a fancy livery.

Regardless of its key role in supplementing the 21.

It may have been on service 310. With the exception of Sunday daytimes, only a very small number of 309 / 310 / X39 boards interwork. The majority are standalone.
