The only other depot that would have Washington destinations programmed in and are in need of minibuses is Peterlee (I think!).

Deptford, Washington & Peterlee all have the same destinations in there buses. Crook, Stanley & Chester all have the same destinations. Riverside, Hexham & Percy Main all have the same destinations.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2018 - Michael - 09 Jun 2018 Having a proper read of the news etc on here, as i'm back from the lake district, just noticed, the Red Arrow B9's are next to get the Eminox systems fitted.

They already have the system fitted (that's why the Red Arrows batch of B9s are so sluggish compared to the rest) - they're just undergoing some further work.

Ah right, don't use the X1 so wouldn't know.

Their speed (or lack of) particularly on the fast slip roads on the Washington Highway has been mentioned a few times on here over the years. The last time I managed to get an Omnidekka on there, the difference was noticeable. Even with the extra weight it was carrying that day.

I'm assuming they acting as spares short term, but are they expected to be withdrawn once the Newer longer Omnidekkas are in service? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2018 - Venturego - 15 Jun 2018 Just Passed Toonlink B9 - (Think it was 6150 LJ62KCU off route) broken down on A691 Lanchester to Leadgate just before Delves/Hurbuck junction - Holding up traffic, already right back into Lanchester and growing. No breakdown yet in attendance. Wonder how reliable these ex London buses will be.
