Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2023
(24 Jan 2023, 6:42 pm)Unber43 You're acting like half of them are false tracking.Not acting like anything. I simply made a comment that perhaps as others have suggested real rare workings are logged separate to those that come from Bustimes.
Its probs like 98% are true or smth. There is probably only a couple which are false tracking and were out today.
And with Washington & Deptford both seem to be struggling for buses it would be more than possible, and that some Washington buses apparently go to Deptford on an evening.

(24 Jan 2023, 8:19 pm)Michael What's happening with the Graphite solos?, Will they re-enter proper service in February after the Sunderland changes?
Hopefully the February changes include putting the 39's back to normal frequency, I take it the 8 will stay hourly permanently, since its not part of the changes this weekend?

Why do Omnideckers constantly end up on the 309/310/311, i just love wanting to get home and an uncomfortable old 19 year old bus turns up, granted the bus turned up, but then when you see a bus thats meant to be on those services, is on Scholars duties, it kinda p***es you of a little

(26 Jan 2023, 9:51 pm)Dan This week (intentionally ahead of the CAZ), new radio systems are being fitted to the Cobalt & Coast fleet. As such they have been predominantly used on schools to allow the work to be done during the day with no impact on the VOR.Ahhhhhhhh right fair play
As other posters have said, it is convenient for the depot engineering teams to be able to do this.
Clearly, from Sunday, they won’t have this flexibility anymore.

(29 Jan 2023, 10:58 am)Jack Gill Is the X66 now allocated green arrow buses on a Sunday?
(29 Jan 2023, 11:31 am)citaro5284 They should be allocated every day, B7 singles off to pastures new soonThey're less capacity tho.

(29 Jan 2023, 12:01 pm)Unber43 They're less capacity tho.I'd imagine it'll be 5509/10 as 5501-4 are MetroCentre branded
I wonder if they'll just get rid of 5501-5504 & 5509-10 or will just withdraw them as they seem not to be that reliable.
I think they could be a nice fit on 35 if there was 8, but the 61 would be good too tbh and it fits the PVR.

Withdrawing buses based on a temporary change doesn’t make that change seem all that temporary…
