Nothing is that rare anymore. I would argue that the only rare thing is when you see a Go North East bus on an Arriva or Stagecoach route but even that has become commonplace over the last year or so.
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Keeiajs - 05 Sep 2021
I would class as rare is a bus from another depot on a route. Or a mini bus on a high profile route. Or a single decker on the X9/10
RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Rapidsnap - 06 Sep 2021
According to bus times, Yutong 5499 is on 51/52.

That's the correct allocation, now.
The ex-Peterlee indiGo Solos are going to be repainted for Sunderland District.

8337 is VOR at Deptford, so isn’t on the 57.
The 643 runs with an East Gateshead Loop bus (using the Loop bus that runs at peaks and night times only).

An electric Yutong is currently heading through Teams towards Riverside out of service as it has two smashed windows just behind the driver’s window.

It’s going to be Versa’s until they paint all of the Ex-Durham Diamonds, they only have one right now. There is no Streetlites they can put on it.
