Looks like a decent off-road bus to me!

Better than this effort from Stagecoach though? https://fb.watch/aWGtG5imGV/

That wins hands down to be fair.

Some companies claim to have 'congestion-busting buses', but it's nice to see drivers taking the initiative to ensure that;s the case.

Breezed on by down that "Grassed Bus Lane"

Introducing X-Lines Extreme! 
Extremely direct links across the North East

Kind of reminds me of an Arriva MetroRider I travelled on from Barnard Castle to Richmond. The windows were so caked in mud you couldn't see outside from the passenger saloon, and at one point the ride got so bumpy I was convinced the driver took a shortcut across a field.

5391 is back in service after just over 2 months off.

Seems to be 3 X20's off Today
3x Hybrids off, with 2-3 Spares ones one. (So 5 Hybrids are off)
3x Drifters (they have had good reliability recently)

X20's with the 10' Plates are really struggling to be reliable. It might be too earlier for a younger bus to replace the citaros but in a new years it probably will be needed.

6064 hasn't been in service for 4 months

The hybrids seem to be struggling at Consett seeing as they're always off road.

Im not surprised the Journey between Durham and Stanley have quite a lot of hills

we've never had them before so i think the engineering team is not fully used to sorting these easy.

Isn't the engineering done by Volvo its self, the buses are a decade old not a few months

I think if it’s just very dead and can’t be fixed by the team themselves.

Only two Xlines X20's are on, with a Violet, 2 Corporate & a Purples Covering

Anyone knows whats up with 6377?

I didn't really know where to put this

but a Crusader X10 has broke down at Dalton Park, would Riverside or Deptford come for it. 

As Deptford is a lot closer, but Riverside is that buses depot. Does anyone know?

Yeah it replaced 6100 for that to go onto the 27. 

A Loop replaced the Crusader at Eldon Square or Gateshead.

Looks like 2 crusaders got took off the 27 to go on the x10 today, 6099 went off the x10 for a couple of hours this afternoon but went back on the x10 after 3pm

Purely from witnessing them myself, 6099 and 6100 have spent quite a bit of time on the X10 over the last few weeks. 6099 in particular.
Haven't checked BusTimes to see how regularly though.

Saying that, I saw both on the X10 last night.

6099 has been on the X10 for either the full day and partially for 8 days of the past 11. 

6100 has been on 3 times. 

The last time all 4 were on all day was 3rd.

Does anyone knows what happened to:
5393 (East Durham Explorer) - It hasn't been on since the 20th of April.
5330 (X20) - March 23rd
5289 (Corporate) - 26th March
6333 - 28th March
6377 - 22nd April

Didn't 5393 have a bump?

5392 got hit at Murton & 92/94 got hit yesterday with rocks

I’m told 5392, 5394 and 5422 all got hit on Saturday at the Mill Inn area of Seaham. Two 65 services in the afternoon, and a 60 in the early evening, I believe.

5330 was parked in the dead corner at Deptford last week and had been in the garage for some time prior. I believe it has engine defects.

Does anyone know what is up with 5465, hasn't been out in over 3 months (1st April to be exact)

5393 is back after being off for 3-4 months

5289 is withdrawn along with 5293

Why is 6116 at Riverside on death row
