No it isn't.

The bustimes sighting of 8801 is actually correctly branded 6314.

So it's an Xlines bus with a Voltra ticket machine? Uh

Not exactly odd, since it no longer has a route… but Blonde solo 664 was parked at Seaham tonight. Not exactly sure what it was doing there at circa 8pm, doesn’t seem to have been on a route.

GNE's Solo allocations have been all over the place lately.. There's been Graphite, Pinks, AD122 and Venture Solos in Cheater-le-Street over the past two days alone.

At 8pm at night? I did think of that after I posted but thought they wouldn’t be driver change for the last short run of the day.

Well, the only other reason is if the bus needed to be replaced or a new ticket machine was needed but I'm pretty sure that the 20:25 from Seaham to Hetton does change driver.

Is that not a case of dual tracking on bustimes? It seems to be in Silksworth and Horden at the same time…

CityRider on the 39A this afternoon? Didn’t catch the fleet number unfortunately. To say the least it caught me by surprise.
