5210 is a training bus! If you're just using BusTimes for rare and odd workings, this is a good example of why it can't be relied upon.

Looking further, it seems likely Andreos' Solo is the vehicle in question tracking as 5210.

Aye, looking at the timings I think you're right.
No idea which one it was though.

672 is out on the 20 (or was about half an hour ago), and was rammed when I saw it.

(Hecking cars!)

Meanwhile, a Prince Bishops StreetLite was moonlighting in Murton earlier, presumably on the 61 (could have been the 65)

However with the 20 on a reduced timetable, I’m hoping that was a temporary measure and it was replaced at Sunderland?

It looks like four single-decks (including a Prince Bishops) were on the 20 today - presumably Deptford have had to rob Peter to pay Paul today, due to a high VOR. It seems 8302 is on loan to Deptford too from Chester-le-Street (on X20 today).

Well there was 3 60's off other routes, X20/ two on 9/5. Which meant 2 solo's on the 60. - Three 20's were on other routes

Not to mention the 4-5 single deckers on the 56 all day. And 6087 on the 33 after 5025, then Poppy bus on the evening with a CityRider56 on the 35.

Not even to mention the utter catastrophe of allocations at Consett today.

641 - X45

I went to see this in Newcastle. Caught it leaving Eldon Square as I couldn't make it for it coming in, only realised it was on the X45 a few minutes before it terminated at Eldon Square courtesy of bustimes.org as I was looking for rare workings.

Anyone know why 641 was on the X45?
