Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022

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.

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

As usual Riverside is throwing anything onto the 21/X21

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

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
Wistfully stuck in the 90s

5490 & 5495, I snapped the former in Durham this afternoon: https://flic.kr/p/2nXT2Lq

5498 was supposedly on as well along with Xlines 6308 whilst the X21 had Crusader 6053
