Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022

[Dan]

709 - Hexham 
672 - Consett (was on X45/X31/X15) 

Also one of the euro 6 Streetlites are on 4, meanwhile a 4 is on 28/29.

709 is now at Hexham to be used on a school contract which needs a small bus as a normal sized Solo is too big - hence the swap.

Driver it when it was on the 20 seemed to have a mare, it got closer to Lancaster than Langley Park, it just missed the entirely of it out.

Angel on the 27 earlier

[Rob44]

Angel 21 on the 21 this morning. Now that's got to be rare!

[Unber43]

4 Single Deckers on 56 (3x X20's, 1x Streelite [corporate so understandable if])
1 CityRider on 35
1 Ex-Lothian on 20
1 Drifter on 20
2 Drifters on South Tyneside Circuit
1 Graphite on 60
1 Berries on 60
3 Versas which should on 35 on 2/2A
1 Berries on X20
1 Prince Bishops on 39B

Deptford need more spares, also the 2/2A shouldn't be downgraded cos of the incoming versa's on the 35 which are severely worse than the Berries.

Tbf I would rather get the 70/20' plate StreetDecks on 21/X21 rather than whats actually meant to be allocate, they are just so much better

Doesn’t look to me like they need more spares. Seems to me that they ought to put the right buses on the right routes.

That would be wonderful. 

Clearly they do need more spares for the 56, there was 4 missing on the route, so either more euro 6 deckers are needed or more school deckers, also too the 91 which is ran by Deptford, which goes onto an X1 to Easington lane will need to be Euro 6

If 8339-8346 stay at Deptford they would do for spares tbf, with 5438-5441

Why was there a versa on the 21 today?

As usual Riverside is throwing anything onto the 21/X21

On bustimes or did you actually see it

You act like CLS never threw anything on them either! We used to always get Versas, Omnicities and the odd Streetlite on the X21

Yeah true.

[wibblejunior]

I remember seeing the OK Way MPDs on the X21 quite a few times. I can even vaguely remember ending up on one once when it replaced another bus at CLS.

[NL62WVW]

5510 on 21

To be fair - single decks on the 21 were extremely rare at CLS (though there were days when you'd see more Omnidekkas and Voyagers than Angels)

There's a lot of variation on the 21 these days but it does just bring the old branding into question
