Will have been swapped again this morning.
Redcar use this method to get the B9s off for inspection (once every 3-4 weeks) overnight. Saves running a bus light from/to Whitby I guess. Having said that you can't do that with the rest of the fleet really... 1759 and 2828 have both been upto Redcar recently, passed 1759 near Marske on Monday and I also passed 2828 in Skelton one day last week

Ridiculous. Wednesday I was on 7487 which was very full, the other was 1429!
I thought since 1435's accident they seemed to be using the deckers - thought maybe one of the bigwigs had heard about it and asked what it was doing on the X93!

Nope 4649 is one of the worst ones, don't know what's going on in Darlington but everything is running between 15-20 mins late
Also 1799s replacement of 4650 is now on the x26/7
