What unearth happened with The Crusader 27 Today or should I say Gateshead Depot Overall?
As I seen 5312 on the 27X - Then on the 27 itself I seen 2 Vykings - One of which was 3971 - President 6031 - Northern Solar 4966 and Loop Solar 5222 I think it was.
Furthermore I seen a Cadet on the 57 and 97, Whilst Highwayman Solar 4967 was doing 64A/95's as they Interwork don't they. And 5389/90 were both on the 53/54 also, and here's me thinking Deptford were Bad at Allocating Buses, Not that I mind a nice Odd Working, but Today was just a bit too kind.
I'd like to hope all these odd workings are due to circumstances beyond depot control. The citaros on the 27 appear to be Off road/elsewhere quite a bit; most days someone is reporting something 'odd' on the 27! I can't imagine that 5312 was originally allocated to 27X, maybe breakdown cover? Maybe a similarly situation on 64/95's with regards to the highwayman solar.
The streetlites seem to be not coping. Always off route, one/two of deptfords solars may as well be put into drifter livery and the same situation for 5389/5390 might aswell be in Saltwell Park colours! But I'm hoping it's a few teething problems.
However deliberating allocating wrong branded buses are slightly annoying. Centurion gets on my nerves!
