Haven't long passed an ex Nat Express, parked up in a layby with its hazards on. Still displaying the X10.
Passengers look to have been transferred, but the driver was looking very irate. Might be able to id it on bustimes.

Aye, it was the layby just on the Seaham sliproad, north of Dalton Park.
I didn't want to mention 'breakdown' or owt like it, cos it might have lost a wing mirror or something.

Correct allocation as it does a 56 duplicate to Wrekenton then drops onto the X66.

there probably lying but no proof of it saying or not saying it so far

Anything for the 49/12/6 anyone heard?

641 on 71 (probs from Consett as 71 can only been a mini-bus due to the road it goes along after Seaham.)

What’s the situation with A Line doing trips on GNE services?
I’ve been around the region over the last few days and keep seeing the A Line ex-GNE Renown in the afternoon, seems to be generally either on the 27 or on the 10, unless there is more than one?

They cover at least one Riverside duty per day to assist during the current driver shortage, usually around their Nexus contracted services, or after them on an evening.

Maintained specification for the service in the absence of the missing Solo SR though which is the most important thing.

A question, why is there always loads of school deckers parked in Consett Bus Station during the day, even on Saturdays?

Drivers use them as taxis between the Depot and the Bus Station and sit spare in case of breakdowns.
