Solo SR number 719 had a run out on the 1 late afternoon / early evening. Amazed young Michael didn't post about it, or at least I haven't seen any posts from him about it. Would have posted this earlier when I noticed it passing work, but alas work and forgot about it.

I saw it and gave up as thr logic from Percy Main goes right put the window. Still waiting for a QuayCity to appear on the 1

5247 back at Percy Main. Don't understand the reason why Percy Main keep gaining and losing an OmniCity. Last week it was 5244 which hasn't been seen

5478 on the Cobalt & Coast

Percy Main currently have a high VOR so it is just on loan.

694 again out on 39s, noted wedged on a late running Pennywell bus in town at 1635

StreetLite by any chance

Think that was when I saw it on the 39A while driving through Grangetown. About 5 minutes later I passed another 39A, and two 60s sandwiching a 61.

That's the one 39A roughly ten minutes late

If it was 10 minutes late, surely it'd be followed by a 39, not another 39A (unless one driver has, for some reason, put the wrong screen on)

Steaming is pushing it!!  I was dragging my heels to not run early!!

Went through the lights quick enough in my opinion, could've stopped for a quick photo op and still been on time.

694 was a rescue. 666 started out from Doxford and gave up in Ryhope. 694 took over in Ryhope leaving 8 mins late. The next 39A was 679 on time 22 mins later, so the bus you saw behind must have had the wrong display!

QuayCity on the 41/41A what a surprise yet again. There is never gonna be a day when it appears on the 1

When's a QuayCity gonna appear on the 1 to put me out of my misery seriously

5247 NK56 KHT on the 1 again

There was a Green Arrow On the X70 this morning.

I believe it was a Country Ranger and not a Green Arrow.

was too early!

had in my mind it was Green Arrow but that makes more sense, cheers!

There are 6 buses currently on the 60, only 1 of those is a Drifter, 5 are off the road.

They might not be broken but simply trapped in the depot. There's numerous cancellations today, if buses weren't parked correctly last night then some buses won't be able to get out as they'll be stuck behind vehicles they don't want today and it's easier to throw anything on than rearranging everything to get them out. 

Not to mention they're the oldest Streetlites at Deptford so might aswell use the 15/16 plates which no doubt would've been out til late last night.

The 60 streetlites have the easiest work at Deptford. They all finish at 6-7pm.

One of them is off the road as it had a window put out yesterday in Seaham.

I can actually see two Drifters tracking on Bustimes on the 60 right now - 5369 and 5370; meanwhile 5371 was on the 60 earlier but seems to have drifted its way onto the 61 (pun partially intended)

But they're often out on the nightbus

Just seen an EG Rider on the X10. Bet that's fun with those seats.

Versa on the 21

Kinda reminds me of that time 707 appeared on it

Speaking of Solos 728 (according to Bustimes.org) is on the 35A

Surprised there hasn't been a swap between Cobalt & Coast B9TLs and Coaster StreetLites for the Mouth of The Tyne today.

I’m sure it’d be a much easier decision to make if everything was corporate coloured
