Hexham are fairly limited in what they can do at the moment, as service 680 needs to be a full-size single-deck at school times, service 688 needs to be a double-deck at school times, and other routes have a size limit (ie can’t be anything but a minibus).

How long is 5304 going to be on the 74? Just this week?

Scania OmniCity 5241 was allocated earlier this month. Could an OmniCity not be permanently allocated? Sometimes a single deck vehicle is appropriate for the 74. Mostly it's not busy, occasionally it has been almost full though and now we have social distancing to consider. 

When does the contract expire for Go North East operating the 74? Perhaps the route could be slightly amended to serve Fenham instead of Cowgate?
