RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - omnicity4659 - 25 Apr 2022
low bridge is on Ellison Road, served by the X30 and X31. every other route is pretty much fine as long as it's swapped off before running a X30 or X31.

6048 has been replaced by a E400MMC.
A more comprehensive answer rather than just, erm, someone told me, erm, near Stanley, erm, don't know but someone told me.

Did I not say, in Dunston?, then gave the height of the bridge?
I did know about the bridge, but I did not know the height of the E400 was less than the height of the Streetdeck - an explanation stating that would have been an acceptable reply too.

Was somewhat surprised to get to Park Lane and see the 78's had a bit of an upgrade in the form of 6347.

Optare Versa 8325 was on X45 this afternoon - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/52064871696/in/dateposted/
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - Unber43 - 16 May 2022
Why, is.5438 on 39/39A when 672 is on 60.
Not to mention there is two drifters on 2/2A & 9
And a graphite on the 62
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - GNE6312 - 17 May 2022
6997 tracking on the C&Cs this morning, is this really 6997 or is it a tracking error?
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - MurdnunoC - 17 May 2022
Might be a rarity to see any GNE bus on any route if things continue as they are.
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - ASX_Terranova - 21 May 2022
Is 691 supposed to be on the 82, or is it regular now there are less little coasters?
Also 5478, 5479 or 8346 are also out across Washington tonight.

Are these ran by Percy Main now on an evening, most of the allocations are percy main solos or streetlites.

RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - Andreos1 - 24 May 2022
After all this talk of the B5 hybrids being knackered... There was one on the 78 tonight.
Didn't see the I'd, but BusTimes has it down as 6057 or 6061.
They also have 6067 noted as being on there too.

However there was on one all day today.

Was a little surprised when X-lines 5330 turn up on the 61.
RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2022 - Jack Gill - 26 Jun 2022

Odd to see Consett doing other depots work as they have had one of the worst driver shortages themselves.

I accepted the mission of photographing it at The Cannon however mission failed with the driver steaming along without stopping, end result was a blurred shot.

Team work makes the dream work!
