6900 and 6997 are both long-term VOR waiting for parts, leaving the Toon Tour to run with 6998 and 6999 only (ie without a spare).
6999 has been VOR for the last couple of days meaning a B9 has had to stand in.

6998* and 6999* providing some unrivalled air circulation on the 309 today.
*According to Bustimes.

It looks to still be going! Currently tracking 30 minutes late on the 19:30 309 to Blyth - think that might be a tad chilly.

The delay - I am told - is due to the fact it was full and standing.
I saw a video posted online last night. Apparently a lot of people made a trip on it simply because it was an open top!

I could not think of anything worse than travelling on an open top bus on a hot day! Give me the shade of the roof any day!

It's alright when you've got cool air blasting down on you like you get on a Streetdeck/B5. The smaller windows also help keep the heat out.
I'd probably agree with you if I was travelling on a B9 or E400

The few times I've had cold air blasting down on me on a streetdeck its been freezing cold already.

Was delayed even more when the bus 309 bus in front was told to wait at New York for it to catch up to move the passengers over....so it could go off service down Norham road 2130/2145 ish

RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2023 - Acky81 - 23 Oct 2023
