But in all seriousness GNE probs loned out a OmniDekka specifically for X1 coverage which is quite a good thing for them to do, I hope free of charge. Instead of being stuck on one of Alines Smaller Buses

The Prince Bishops might have to have the branding updated to add, Grangetown, Ryhope, Dalton Park & Murton.
And while your at it might aswell add the 5 & 9 Branding to the 60

Bus Times says 5244 (Scania OmniCity) Operated the X85 this morning, and this evening. Was this actually the case or as I suspect a wrong bus/wrong ticket machine

I saw the afternoon one. Can't say for definite it operated the morning journey, but it did yesterday morning and not the afternoon.

Not a rare work but 5477 is causing traffic chaos in Wallsend by expiring at the Forum bus stop on the High Street.

So let's just see what happened at Percy Main today

2 QuayCity were put onto the 309/310/311(due to there being no deckers for scholar) I'm sure they could have swapped two for the 1 but nah

Here it is, was quite a surprise when I was in Ryhope yesterday and this came hurtling round the corner towards me...

Bustimes is saying 5202 is on the X66 which I doubt as it’s a driver trainer, wonder what it actually is

Why is there a Citaro on the X1, hope it comes off before rush hour?
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - F114TML - 13 Apr 2022
Just passed an Xlines Streetdeck on the 50 - looked to be an X1 branded one going by the red external LEDs.

3943 - 2 (possibly one of the rarest working of the year)

Presumably it's just at Deptford for Scholars? If so, wouldn't be much of a stretch to see it in normal service this week and next.
