Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - Dan - 06 Oct 2022

672 - Consett (was on X45/X31/X15)
Also one of the euro 6 Streetlites are on 4, meanwhile a 4 is on 28/29.
709 is now at Hexham to be used on a school contract which needs a small bus as a normal sized Solo is too big - hence the swap.

Angel 21 on the 21 this morning. Now that's got to be rare!
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - Unber43 - 11 Oct 2022
4 Single Deckers on 56 (3x X20's, 1x Streelite [corporate so understandable if])
1 CityRider on 35
1 Ex-Lothian on 20
1 Drifter on 20
2 Drifters on South Tyneside Circuit
1 Graphite on 60
1 Berries on 60
3 Versas which should on 35 on 2/2A
1 Berries on X20
1 Prince Bishops on 39B
Deptford need more spares, also the 2/2A shouldn't be downgraded cos of the incoming versa's on the 35 which are severely worse than the Berries.

Doesn’t look to me like they need more spares. Seems to me that they ought to put the right buses on the right routes.

Clearly they do need more spares for the 56, there was 4 missing on the route, so either more euro 6 deckers are needed or more school deckers, also too the 91 which is ran by Deptford, which goes onto an X1 to Easington lane will need to be Euro 6
If 8339-8346 stay at Deptford they would do for spares tbf, with 5438-5441

You act like CLS never threw anything on them either! We used to always get Versas, Omnicities and the odd Streetlite on the X21

RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - wibblejunior - 11 Oct 2022
I remember seeing the OK Way MPDs on the X21 quite a few times. I can even vaguely remember ending up on one once when it replaced another bus at CLS.

To be fair - single decks on the 21 were extremely rare at CLS (though there were days when you'd see more Omnidekkas and Voyagers than Angels)
There's a lot of variation on the 21 these days but it does just bring the old branding into question
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - NL62WVW - 14 Oct 2022
Bit of a overkill but 6377 is on 52 at the min

5498 was supposedly on as well along with Xlines 6308 whilst the X21 had Crusader 6053
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - OrangeArrow49 - 14 Nov 2022
Has the 684 returned to deckers?3964, 6196 and 6914 have been on recently, 3964 and 6914 both on this morning, together. Are these buses at Hexham? Does Riverside or Hexham operate the 941?
