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.

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.

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

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.
