The red 'spare' OmniCity is now only spare between 11:38 and 15:00, when it is parked up in Stanley Bus Station. It is allocated to a number of daytime boards on service X30 now, as well as scholars service 836 AM and PM.
- The PM 808 service from Consett Academy to Castleside Church will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 1335 #6 from Newcastle to Stanley)
- The AM 829 service to St Bedes will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 0852 #X70 from Consett to Newcastle)
- The PM 820 service from St Bedes will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 1355 #X71 from Newcastle to Consett, then the 1603 #X70 from Consett to Newcastle)
- The AM 820 service to St Bedes will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 0853 #6 from Stanley to Newcastle).
Still the usual Olympians for me then. As much as I like them, they really do get boring after a while as, with there only been five, it is likely that you end up with the same one on more than 1 day during the week. Rather coincidentally, it was only yesterday that I mentioned that 3832 was allocated to my scholars 3 times last week with 3814 and 3822 making up the other 2 days. 6128 was the Monday PM vehicle as opposed to 3822, though so there was a bit of variety there.
