No, but I also saw it was replaced just after washington, surely there may have beena. 50 parked in Washington which they could have replaced it with.

675 - 678 were branded on Thursday 14 October.

673 and 674 are planned to be branded tomorrow. 679 is long-term VOR awaiting engine repairs.

5/9, the 50 no longer interworks with the 5 since Sept Changes. It now interworks with the 50/26. from Washington.

It’s the 9 that the 5 interworks with now, as such 5427 did a few runs on the 9 today. And in the evening, 5/9 also work onto the 60, so 5427 also did a round trip to Parkside and back.

There was also a Durham Diamond on today. I think its because when the 78 moved to Consett, they lost the Durham Diamond Streetlites, and the 78 needs atleast USB's on the 2 hour route, so Venture or a Double Decker replaces it, so I think you'll see a lot more of double deckers in Sunderland & Chester-Le-Street.

61 not 60! No low bridge, straight along the top of Seaham to Dalton Park. 
Although I’m not sure a B7 on the 61 is the rarest of rare workings, definitely been deckers on the 61 before. Although granted, deckers aren’t on all that often.

Omni will have been 5272. I think it was mentioned as helping to cover Deptford’s solo/citaro repaints. It’s actually been on the 61 a fair amount recently.

5274 also there, the 60 is a low bridge one. Also the 60 was a double decker the last service every day it was a 56. 

61 used to get loads of Vykings for schools, however that X22 on 61 hast to be the rarest bus on a route this year.

Tbh I think the 60 would be a double decker if there wasn't a low bridge at Dawdon.
