A lot of Solos are not CAZ compliant. So can't go into the City Centre

Simultaneously on the X66 and the X21, today. The X21 it was meant to be on was a no show in Eldon Square but I just spotted the actual 690 near Gateshead Interchange, front flap off, police and ambulance in attendance.

6374 is on the X5 today, so makes sense.

The two at Sunderland are staying there I believe

Looks like they could doing a lot of fleet movements today if Bustimes.org is anything to go by for Washington Depot Allocations. 

6213/6214/6302/6303/6306/6332/6367/6368 on the X1

5463/5465 on the 4

Citaros on 14/34/50

What services are the red X-Line buses going on?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

No idea but my guess would be X5/X15/16/16A.

Then the X30's/X70's & 47 operated by E400MMC's and X45 with New Streetdecks.

Imagine it'll be all the B9TL's. Can't see them wanting a sub fleet of a very few there. 

Where they go, who knows. 

The E400's dropping onto the school bus work.

I'd say most likely option would be Riverside as they have a few Ex EYM's B9's that will be next up for Withdrawal which would cover the Jewish Scholars 850, Sainsbury's S1 Shuttle and 643/644.

Would be funny if 6304-07 came back to Consett as I think 1 or more is still running around with the Inside X-Lines Branding from 4 years ago

There is still a Coast and Cobalt which advertises 310 311 inside...

Also the old website simpygo.com
