(12 Mar 2020, 6:49 pm)scanialover wrote And just what does rubbish mean please? A Solo is unsuited to the route due to the loadings and the Scanias, much as I like them as a well maintained bus,, Arrivals aren't! They've been flogged and should be retired.
Think I'd sooner have a Solo myself, painful going down the A66 at a max speed of 48mph on those Lites and it's debatable which is more unreliable Lites or the Omnis, most of the Omnis have still been out, just being allocated to other routes like 1/5/5A/86/X1 & 7 plus town work for the ones they're keeping local, still a few off today though.

Didn't get this done earlier. 7494 had made it down to Treasure on the X12 this afternoon. What a scruffy, uncared for example!!

Should have seen the Sapphire StreetLite I saw at Dalton Park earlier today, looked like it had gone to battle considering how battered the panels looked with paint flaking off.

Whoops. Didn't check my typing there? 7494 was spotted on an X12 working to Middlesbrough (Teeside) at something like 1430 yesterday (13th).

2825 made an appearance on the 685 today, judging by BusTimes it only covered so much of a return journey to Newcastle (from Haltwhistle as a guess) in place of 4662 which must have failed on it's way to Carlisle.
