Do the temporary coaches not have anti-Covid/vandal screens fitted?
Are the drivers wearing a face mask?

They have a plastic sheet (as per National Express specification), but many of the drivers are choosing to wear face coverings rather than use this.

Would that be a standard 'face covering' or the proper fitted masks since from a company perspective it's about protecting the drivers as well as reducing the spread, which was the main focus for the government only mandating a 'face covering' not a proper mask.

The company has fitted National Express specification “shower curtains”. If the driver feels obliged to do more, that is of their own choice.

It's a department of transport initiative about tailgaters, there were adverts on the TV last year about it "don't be a space invader" all NatEx coaches got them.

Deptford also have 2 coaches on 4274 Belmont scholars contract. These run from Coxhoe/Bowburn - Belmont. One starts in Coxhoe then does a loop of Bowburn before heading off to Belmont. The 2nd starts in Bowburn but goes through the estate rather than looping around it before heading to Belmont.

Nothing to do with reliability of coaches.

They've gone over to operate scholars at Riverside.

Not sure what the issue was, but the X9 and 10 appeared to be running in convoy at one point this morning.
Would have been just before 10, south of Peterlee.
Noticed the temp express liveried one first and seconds behind, there was one of the retro branded coaches.
I assume control took control of the situation at some point further down the route in order to manage the timetable more effectively.
