Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022
(27 Jun 2022, 6:08 am)James_D Me and the other driver had finished our shifts and had driving time left, no late milage to cover at Consett after we finished so might as well help other depots out! Team work makes the dream work!
Steaming is pushing it!! I was dragging my heels to not run early!!

(28 Jun 2022, 8:11 pm)F114TML 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)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!

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

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)
Kinda reminds me of that time 707 appeared on it
