Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022
Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022
So far today at Deptford, there is 3 Prince Bishops on the 61, with 3 spares on the 20 (including a solo, and a saltwell park).
There is only 2 X20's on.
3-4 Single Deckers on the 56
Two drifters on 9/5 & 55(which goes onto 9&5) There is a solo on the 60
A saltwell park on 35, Cherry on the 20.
Also a Prince Bishops on the 9, when there is a saltwell park on the 20
I do wonder what will cover the 9&5 when 8340-8346 go to Percy Main, with 8343 on X39 today. There seems to be a a reliability issue, seems to happen when you take 3 year old buses off and replace them with 12 year old ones.

(09 Mar 2022, 2:02 pm)deanmachine Seems to be the perfect storm of vandalism, lack of available parts and old unreliable buses (the Mercs) at Deptford at the minute.Maybe, but when there are 10.8m streetlites all over the place (which could easily replace the covering ones on the 9&5)
(09 Mar 2022, 8:57 am)Train8261 I don't think all of thr 83## StreetLite are moving. I think it's only 8343/8344/8345/8346I thought they would need 6.

(09 Mar 2022, 5:28 pm)Omega54 Maybe, but when there are 10.8m streetlites all over the place (which could easily replace the covering ones on the 9&5)Why 6
There are 3 20's on 61, which could have easily been replaced by the the spare branded ones on the 35, with 35's being on the 20.
There would be roughly enough Branded buses for each allocated route if they did them properly
I thought they would need 6.

6302 is currently on the 82, is there a shortage of Solos at Washington i've seen quite a few streetlites and omnidekkas on the 82 & 84 this week.
Just spotted Citaro 5326 on the 65. Has Peterlee depot closed yet?
Also I'm on Prince Bishops 5436 on the 61 although it seems today the 61's been allocated whatever they found round the back (there's a Solo on it too, didn't get the number).
Also what looked like a B9 on the 35
Deptford were doing so well.
There are two solo's on the 60, with 2 60's on the 9&5
Several 9 allocated buses on the 20 & 35, with Prince Bishops being on the 2 & 61
There are half of the versa's off, with one being on the 9
There is only one violet on out of 4.
There are a double decker on the 55 & 35.
