What is classed as rare and odd workings these days?, maybe the threads should be re named as “Allocated rare and odd allocations 2023” or just do the threads on a monthly basis instead of having to go through 50 pages to find something or for members to start posting non related unconfirmed material in the designated thread from unreliable bustimes.org site

Either way though, there should be a rule you actually have to see it as anyone can go listing stuff off Bus Times which isn't interesting or needed even if it was actually 100% reliable (which it isn't).

I just wondered since the Euro 6 Clean Air Zone came into place at Newcastle yesterday buses get fined if they're not Euro6 however there is currently 5509 on X21, 5504 on 27 & a Country Ranger on 28, obviously these might not be real buses which are operating the route, but I just wanted to know if GNE were going to receive fines today or not?

Not the beginning?

(02 Jan 2023, 12:53 pm)Unber43 Oh yeah. I still don't get why cars which aren't Euro 6 (66 Plates or Later I think) aren't being charged.
That would just help public transport a lot.

(02 Jan 2023, 9:21 pm)Andreos1 Public transport needs to help itself and not rely on other bodies or organisations bailing them out.Totally agree with this one! Can window dress but if the reasons why people aren't using public transport aren't addressed, then the cycle continues even with the threat of fines or charges etc.

Majority of the '6' buses today are double decker allocation
Is this a change or just due to the lack of single deckers?
(04 Jan 2023, 11:49 am)Arcticrossy92 Majority of the '6' buses today are double decker allocationI noticed that and I think it had something to do with the Country Rangers, as deckers went on the 6 this morning and the 78 had all 66 plate streetlites on this morning apart from 1 which was a country ranger but I think some of the 66 plates have been replaced by Country Rangers throughout the day.

(24 Jan 2023, 6:23 pm)ifm001 Was it not suggested gto report actual 'seen' rare workings due to the number of false tracking reports on bustimes..You're acting like half of them are false tracking.
Perhaps we should have split rare and odd workings, one for bus times reporting and one for actual.
