Are Dupes still a thing?, just got the 12:59 310 from Prudhoe Street, North Shields (operated by 6105), and directly behind it was 6168

Appears to be a duplicate checking bustimes, your bus was the right bus and that just done the one run. Guessing it was for the football.

They are probably the only depot who can in fairness, other depots wouldn’t have the drivers.
