6996 stayed out all day returning to depot at around 1930.


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Retro Nero - 26 Nov 2025

8314 working out of Sunderland Depot




RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - WestDurhamSwift - 01 Dec 2025

670 working the 78 this morning, whilst 682 is operating out of Hexham


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - 220631612 - 02 Dec 2025

6801 tracking on the X21, unsure what 6801 actually is

Appears to be someone dicking about with the fleet number on the ticket machine, suspect it's actually 6317 given it magically changed from 6810 to 6317 at Bishop Auckland on a West Auckland bound trip earlier.


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Malarkey - 02 Dec 2025

6801/6810 are fleet numbers for the new Cummins Wright Streetdeck's currently being built at Wrightbus.

Highly doubt any other these have been delivered yet and it's two vehicles that have had ticket machines swapped due to faults.


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - ian foster - 03 Dec 2025

surely 6801/6810 are the numbers for the EV double deckers that are coming. The diesel ones will probably be 6378 onwards

Yes

6378 - 6403 Diesel

6801 - 6826 Electrics

Would assume the 4 single EVs are either 8810 - 8814 or 5810 - 5814


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Malarkey - 06 Dec 2025

Alot of the School buses this morning through Lanchester were either late or running around a circle in the village before heading to the school, couldn't work out what was going on but imagine it will have a knock on effect to other services.


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Retro Nero - 11 Dec 2025

6960 is working out of Sunderland Depot this week

Quite a few transfers to Deptford

Have they lost any buses in exchange?

It’s not been on the X10 for a while, must be victim to the same issues as the Angel Streetdecks where they can’t roam far away from Riverside


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - WestDurhamSwift - 22 Dec 2025

Durham Diamond decker operating from Deptford today.


RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - Nerd4321 - 23 Dec 2025

Possible swap for CAZ zone reason or something else. Both did each other services (Cobalt did the 327 & TVT did the 52)

RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024 - WestDurhamSwift - 30 Dec 2025

Despite appearing to be withdrawn with a lack of service the past few weeks 

3943 3963 3964 have all made it on to the X66 today, with the latter being removed from service around midday

6956 was also out on the 54 meaning only 50% of the allocated vehicles today (3/6) were E10's. Looks like 8807/08/09 are all VOR #MissingVoltraEV's

It's cold, the EV vehicles appear to be absolutely hopeless with colder weather. 

It's always the same.
