The 'how busy is your bus' thing has been developed further:

It's already in use at Transdev and attempts to provide more of a 'live' situation as opposed to the trend-based idea we've seen in the first phase.

(11 Jun 2020, 6:14 am)Dan The majority of the remainder will follow suit next week, when scholars services return. Still not all required though.
5272 - 5274 technically shouldn’t be on the road yet (until next Monday) but no harm in running them in, as they’re all taxed and inspected, and ready to go. Should hopefully mean fewer issues on Monday.

A number of interchange, high street and road layouts are being changed by councils over the coming days, starting from Monday 15 June to aid social distancing.
Please double check bus stop, stand and interchange arrangements as many will be subject to short notice change.

(03 Jun 2020, 11:11 pm)Storx Just noticed I worded that bad, that was about the short X21's there not the extended runs through to Bishop. It was in reply to the suggestion for them becoming more frequent.20 minutes walk from my house to the train station. By the time I've done that I'm already through CLS on the bus.
Tbf though it's only extra £200 a year or so to use the train, which takes 15 mins vs 50 mins for the bus. I'd personally happily walk up the hill (you could even cycle, which is handy at both sides) to save an hour sitting on buses which could easily be delayed (less likely on a train) but everyone has there own opinion I suppose and I know it's a popular route as they removed the barriers at Durham because the majority of people come from Newcastle where they'd have their tickets checked to stop the congestion in Durham station.

(11 Jun 2020, 9:43 pm)Storx 20 minutes later though you'd be in Newcastle on the train whereas only in Low Fell on the busIt's downhill to get there for me. Uphill home.
Jokes aside, the hill is a bit of a trek though.

From todays fleet news:
Similarly, the coaches at Deptford which are normally allocated to the 4274 school service are to be used on ad-hoc private hire/rail replacement work only, with the school service instead operated by Scania L94UB/Wright Solar which have vandal screens for driving colleagues. As such; 5207 (NK54 NVB), 5208 (NK54 NVC) and 5209 (NK54 NVD) have been reinstated at Deptford.
Although it looks like its only for School buses, still good to see them back in service!
