I got a photo of it just before it went under the canopy, the staff in the civic the centre told me what time the bus was due back while I was getting photos of the trophies.

Here is 709 approaching the Civic Centre on Day 1 of it's tour - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ed-public/

709 is being used daily for the next three weeks to transport the trophies, staff, volunteers and the Newcastle Falcon’s official mascot Stephen the Seahorse to events between Friday 22 March and 14 April 2019.

Therefore 709 should not see use in public service, I spoke to the driver who is going to doing the tour and he has to pick up the trophies along with those mentioned above from the Falcons Stadium at Kingston Park each morning, take them to the events and then take them back in the afternoon.

After the tour is completed it could go anywhere with the loss of Nexus contracts at Percy Main due to take affect.
