Go North East service levels during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Info about allocation changes next week, from Dan on the Busesnortheast facebook page.
The X30 & X71 services at Consett, will be revised this weekend to operate with minibuses which are now surplus to requirements following service reductions (with the Streetlites re-deployed at Deptford to allow fuel-hungry double-decks to be taken out of service).
So:
X30/X71 will be solo
20/56 will be Streetlite (20 currently allocated FAB 56 deckers)
(09 Apr 2020, 6:13 pm)Michael Info about allocation changes next week, from Dan on the Busesnortheast facebook page.Do you know if those streetlites would be the Prince Bishop batch currently allocated to the 4/ 50 or the other ones being redeployed?

It took all my strength to not have a ride on the StreetDeck running on the 1A today, I could see it from the window tempting me, but I resisted!
I suppose with all the odd workings at the minute it's a good opportunity to try out vehicles on routes that wouldn't normally be allocated that type

(10 Apr 2020, 11:19 pm)streetdeckfan That's why I didn't. I could have easily made an excuse of having to go to Tesco in Gateshead, which I do, but we'll just take the car instead.
That's the main reason I've temporarily moved back up to Gateshead instead of staying at mine down in Bishop, so we only have to do one lot of shopping instead of two, although one advantage of mine is it's a few minute walk to basically every shop, whereas here we just have Aldi

(11 Apr 2020, 11:49 am)Michael Looks like 5411 - 5414 are the streetlites which moved over to Deptford
According to Bustimes.org:
5411 & 5412 are on the 55X
5413 & 5414 are on the 78
(11 Apr 2020, 11:54 am)S813 FVK 5409 also tracking on 55X.
679/80/1/2/3 appear to have all gone the other way for X30/X71
