Enviro 200MMC on the 62/63 ain't rare anymore tbf

yeah started to notice that, its a nightmare because 62/63 are some decent people movers that are in high demand at all times but especially peak times

19442 is on the 317 - think it's the first time I've seen a standard E400 on there.

It is. That now complete the list of decekrs on the 317. Enviro 400MMC, Enviro 400MMC (Newer) Enviro 400H and now Enviro 400. Its been a while that a decekr has been allocated

Hartlepool e200 on 52

36962 put in a couple of turns on service 1 this evening before being replaced somewhere in Heaton ( by 19432 ?) and going onto 317s.

Still very unusual to see single-deckers on the no. 1.

What is the usual allocation for the Sunderland 99, it was an e400 today.

That’s the correct term time allocation

Should be an E400 during term time - it runs off a scholars. E200 in the holidays.

Probably just a ticket machine update or something like that. Several withdrawn vehicles have also tracked for a short time including 22082,22346,22410,39664

So what is 2284

didn't realise 22410 was withdrawn, when did that happen?

E200 on the 22 today

19681 getting a rare Saturday run out on 36/37/38/12/39

There was a gas bus on the 10 & 11 yesterday too.

I see stagecoach are pulling anything out and sticking it on anything. on Monday I saw 10654 on the 72 route which is normally an E200, the E400 being total overkill for this route. while at the same time 2 E300s and one 200 MMC on the 62/63 which is a tight squeeze at times

61 plate E200 on the 63,

spotted a training bus driving up and down Horton Drive in Cramlington this morning, passed me 5 or 6 times there

They're quite often up this way, sometimes see them travelling through Seghill and Holywell so probably just chose to go there today. Jesmond buses used to turn up sometimes aswell; suppose it's nicer than driving around Newcastle.

When I was in the driving school, we went round Hartlepool, Washington, Gateshead, Whitley Bay and North Shields.

Here's a couple somewhat unexpected journeys I drove in the first week:



And just to prove it, yes we did go north of the Tyne despite being Sunderland drivers

By comparison when I was training the furthest South we went was the southerly point of the Sunderland test route and furthest north Slatyford except another depots instructor drove us there as 22073 needed a part.
