Tbh wrong brands aren't exactly remarkable and rarely have been. Here they've allocated a completely different type of vehicle (full size, or near enough, buses on minibus routes and minibuses on routes that need a full size bus)

676 & 677 are on Metro Replacement duties between Park Lane and South Hylton.

I think that's the proper allocation, or it certainly looks like it (I'm yet to catch up with everything this last week). Tbh when I've seen it driving round there's only been a handful on and the drivers looked bored out their minds.

Pretty sure there were like 4/5 EG Loops on 21 today, with two of the 60' plate ones

had to happen sometime
5401 on the 4's

At least it's still pink.

5358 was also on the 25 and 5397 on the 28/29

Quaycity 5385 has spent the day on X21. Saw it tonight when I was catching up with 6187 at Eldon Square.

6049 is tracking on the 56 along with 6356/6357

How long are 6356/6357 at Deptford for?

6356/57 have been at Deptford since October, 6358-60 went to Riverside, 6361 stayed at consett for a while before going to Washington to join 6362/63. 

6049 might be at Deptford either due to a High VOR or as a spare going into the Clean AirZone which comes in very soon.

As for whats happening to the streetlites, they could be sent to Consett for spares and some kept at Riverside for spares on X21/X10. As Washington should have enough as PVR X1 is 11(i think) with 12 branded with 6376, which could also be a spare for 50 which is a PVR 7 (6301-6307)

Plus 6331/6333. And whatever happens to 6332.

6049 is at Sunderland because one board on service 20 has been converted to DD due to high loadings on the morning peak.

Is that the 7:06 or 7:32 to Langley Park as both have been deckers recently. Nice to have a decker with chargers

3941 tracking on 65 does anyone know if this is actually the case?

Hopefully either 65 gets upgraded to deckers all the time at every 60 mins, or goes back down to every 30 mins.

No, 3941 is still awaiting repair.

5385 and 5510 providing much needed capacity on match day Angels today….

One thing I don't get is that I went to Costco today and to get to Costco you have to drive behind Riverside, and there were loads of deckers parked up, epsically Enviro 400's that could have been put on instead of two singles.

There could be a number of reasons
