Stagecoach Rare and Odd Workings for April 2021

Arriva Rare and Odd Workings for April 2021

The Zero-Emission Buses Regional Area (ZEBRA) scheme in England has been launched. It will provide a maximum of £120m of capital funding towards up to 500 emission-free buses and their associated infrastructure.

Don't know if there is already a thread for this but. All little coaster buses have a rare working on it today 

42 has 6109 Cobalt & Coast 
42A has 6110 Cobalt & Coast 
11 has 5269 2019 Scania CN230UB OmniCity 
41 has 5270 2019 Scania CN230UB OmniCity 
Obviously the 19 has Scania CN230UB OmniCity on it already. 
Is this due to two of the little coaster buses being used on the 46 and 51 or something else

Spotted this on Twitter after revealed that the pool on the Toon Tour was a joke (gutted tbh)

Although @ToonTour won't be getting a pool upgrade, it will be making a return from 17 April, along with a new service to Whitby and Scarborough, a new bus to
@Beamish_Museum, and AD122 is back from 12 April too.

NEW Beamish Museum B1 service
Go North East will be introducing a new direct service to Beamish Museum from Newcastle, Gateshead and Chester-le-Street, making it even easier to get to the world-famous open-air museum.

The service will run on weekends, bank holidays and during school holidays from 17 April.

Journeys will leave Newcastle at 9.10am, 10.30am and 11.50am, with return journeys from Beamish Museum entrance at 2pm, 3.20pm and 4.40pm.

No advanced booking is required to use the bus, but if you want to attend the museum you will need to book a slot on Beamish Museum’s website.

Mods: You're free to move the thread to a new one, as the post also advertises the summer services returning.

5382 has a broken front display, I'll attach a photo to show it.

Wow! Modern technology never ceases to amaze me.
I can't wait to have a go!

Yes, you did read that title right!

We’re delighted to announce that Toon Tour will be returning this summer and due to the latest advancements in technology, we’ve been able to convert the upper-deck of our open-top tour bus into a pool.

We can’t wait to have you all on board soaking up the summer sun, taking in the sights and delights of Newcastle and Gateshead.

Timetable and route information will be announced soon, so keep checking back for full details.

From April 11th the majority of the service 1 and 2 minibus work is being amalgamated into the big bus rota as all services return to pre covid levels. Apart from a couple of mini buses to be retained for service 58 it seems the rest will be going the journey to be replaced by conventional buses from elsewhere. Any ideas where these will come from and what they will be?

Passed Saltmeadows earlier and I spotted what look to be a rear end of an ELC / Optare Olympus inside, not sure if it was a Scania or ADL chassis. Also noted was 5504 outside with fleetnames and numbers applied on its EYMS livery and 9054 heading out on a test run which then halted about 400 metres from the works.
