That wins hands down to be fair.
Some companies claim to have 'congestion-busting buses', but it's nice to see drivers taking the initiative to ensure that;s the case.

Kind of reminds me of an Arriva MetroRider I travelled on from Barnard Castle to Richmond. The windows were so caked in mud you couldn't see outside from the passenger saloon, and at one point the ride got so bumpy I was convinced the driver took a shortcut across a field.
RE: Off Road Buses - Omega54 - 24 Feb 2022
5391 is back in service after just over 2 months off.
RE: Off Road Buses - Unber43 - 21 Apr 2022
Seems to be 3 X20's off Today
3x Hybrids off, with 2-3 Spares ones one. (So 5 Hybrids are off)
3x Drifters (they have had good reliability recently)
X20's with the 10' Plates are really struggling to be reliable. It might be too earlier for a younger bus to replace the citaros but in a new years it probably will be needed.
6064 hasn't been in service for 4 months
RE: Off Road Buses - Jack Gill - 21 Apr 2022
The hybrids seem to be struggling at Consett seeing as they're always off road.

RE: Off Road Buses - Unber43 - 22 Apr 2022
Only two Xlines X20's are on, with a Violet, 2 Corporate & a Purples Covering
RE: Off Road Buses - Unber43 - 09 May 2022
Anyone knows whats up with 6377?
RE: Off Road Buses - Unber43 - 11 May 2022
I didn't really know where to put this
but a Crusader X10 has broke down at Dalton Park, would Riverside or Deptford come for it.
As Deptford is a lot closer, but Riverside is that buses depot. Does anyone know?

Haven't checked BusTimes to see how regularly though.
Saying that, I saw both on the X10 last night.

The last time all 4 were on all day was 3rd.

I’m told 5392, 5394 and 5422 all got hit on Saturday at the Mill Inn area of Seaham. Two 65 services in the afternoon, and a 60 in the early evening, I believe.

5330 was parked in the dead corner at Deptford last week and had been in the garage for some time prior. I believe it has engine defects.
