Traffic seemed to be playing hell with things too, I passed 3 X21's through Birtley Durham Rd, assumingly on diversion due to severe traffic on the bypass, Birtley was just as bad until you got past the traffic lights at the library.
At around 11 this morning at one point Birtley Station Lane stop had FOUR 21's, a Nexus 23, a Pronto, an X22, a very late X24 and an X2 all within a cars reach of each other. I thought I'd stumbled upon a rally!
Excuse the awfulness of this spot but one of the South Tyne buses was on the W(something) yesterday too. I only know this because it pulled out infront of me at the entrance to the B&Q roundabout!
This strike could throw up some interesting workings/pics. Join the pickets and sneak a look in the depot
