RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - X919 WGR - 24 Feb 2026
Don't know if its real but it is tracking on both Bustimes & the GNE app and its 6820 on the 27
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - OrangeArrow49 - 26 Feb 2026
X-lines dark green 6349 on the 684/X85 and 688 this afternoon. Very rare working, but not outrageous given Consett and Hexham are linked.

690 on the X66 - I would argue if they are short on buses allocated this to the Q3 would be more suitable.

A lot of Solos are not CAZ compliant. So can't go into the City Centre

Simultaneously on the X66 and the X21, today. The X21 it was meant to be on was a no show in Eldon Square but I just spotted the actual 690 near Gateshead Interchange, front flap off, police and ambulance in attendance.

6374 is on the X5 today, so makes sense.

hopefully they will shift them around so theres some order to the fleet list.
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Malarkey - 07 Mar 2026
Wonder if that is an indicator that they'll be allocated to the X5/X15/16/16A.

6273 also at Consett. That makes 3.
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - ouston man - 08 Mar 2026
Any idea what deckers will leave consett seeing as 6216 has gone to Washington. I suppose 6217-19. Will go is the obvious choice
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Nerd4321 - 08 Mar 2026
5443 doing the 327 this morning
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - X919 WGR - 08 Mar 2026
The 14 & 50 is all Citaros today.
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Malarkey - 08 Mar 2026
Looks like they could doing a lot of fleet movements today if Bustimes.org is anything to go by for Washington Depot Allocations.
6213/6214/6302/6303/6306/6332/6367/6368 on the X1
5463/5465 on the 4
Citaros on 14/34/50

What services are the red X-Line buses going on?

No idea but my guess would be X5/X15/16/16A.
Then the X30's/X70's & 47 operated by E400MMC's and X45 with New Streetdecks.

Imagine it'll be all the B9TL's. Can't see them wanting a sub fleet of a very few there.
Where they go, who knows.
The E400's dropping onto the school bus work.

I'd say most likely option would be Riverside as they have a few Ex EYM's B9's that will be next up for Withdrawal which would cover the Jewish Scholars 850, Sainsbury's S1 Shuttle and 643/644.

Would be funny if 6304-07 came back to Consett as I think 1 or more is still running around with the Inside X-Lines Branding from 4 years ago

There is still a Coast and Cobalt which advertises 310 311 inside...
Also the old website simpygo.com

Must be fun for the people of the East Gateshead area seeing the Red Kite Rangers roaming around.
6046 has been floating about on the 57 today & looks like 43 has taken a tour on the 27 this afternoon
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - NL62WVW - 12 Mar 2026
6330 on X1
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - V514DFT - 14 Mar 2026
Gemini on the 340/341, needs a wash like, covered in bird shite it is
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - ouston man - 17 Mar 2026
A Washington driver told me that apart from 6330 already at Washington depot there is a possibility of more coming. He did say the problem is where to put them at night . Do they park them out on the street
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Arriva7446 - 17 Mar 2026
I would guess if Washington get more Streetdecks they would phase out 6187 and 88, so that would help with spacing issues. They could also move out a couple of streetlites which would replace the older Streetlites elsewhere.

So are Percy main not getting the angel streetdecks for the 301 any more? Thought they would have gone over by now

No they are expected to go into Fleet Livery and displace older deckers at various depots.
Washington still have 2 of the old B9s and a couple of X1 Streetdecks to move out/on
The 4 Electric Enviros entering service at Riverside also makes room for 4 more withdrawls
