(04 Jan 2014, 4:16 pm)Dan 6098 - a problem with the gears.
5209 was also out of service near Hylton Castle.
A Vyking and a new B9 were in hot pursuit of those two vehicles - was quite odd seeing four 56s (although two out of service) in a row all bound for Newcastle!

(04 Jan 2014, 12:45 pm)GuyParkRoyal 8236 was on the 34 this morning departing Chester le Street Red Lion at 24 past the hour. I should be back in Chester le Street in time to see if it is on the 13.24 and will edit this post around 13.35 to advise if it is still out on 34's.
Edit: Update 8236 is still out on 34's departed Red Lion at 13.24 due at Coral's 13.49.

(04 Jan 2014, 5:41 pm)Tom No, I didn't sadly. I was only in CLS for about 30 minutes, and only saw 4927 and 4929 on the 50. I've already photographed that one anyway
There must have been about five red renowns on the 8/78 too - 4838/39/44/49/03.

(04 Jan 2014, 6:13 pm)Tom Also, do the X70/X71 get one hour layover's at Consett? - 4905 was sitting in a stand blinded up for the X70 to Newcastle, and 4913 went into a stand too, while a Lolyne operated the X71?

(04 Jan 2014, 6:49 pm)CatsFast101 Possibly to recover delays because of late running like what happens with the ventures and bishop Auckland bus station. So a bus will go spare will go out and work the service and when the bus that should of worked the service arrives back it becomes the spare etc. etc. Or maybe they've replaced it after a round trip due to poor reliability on Stanley's fleet.

(04 Jan 2014, 9:11 pm)Dan Seven or eight, yup - half the frequency so half the usual PVR (15/2=7.5).
Layover is either less generous or more generous on Sundays. I can't remember.
