Could be wrong, but was the Jesmond bus they had parked up for most of the day one of the ones that would do an AM/PM school run? Obviously at that point it's fully fit for service, has had a first use inspection, and engineering likely don't need it. It seemed to get swapped onto anything, I'm assuming knowing that another decker would be back to replace whatever was swapped off by school time.

Ah that's fair, yeah get you. Totally agreed that doesn't make sense tbh. Mind obviously it's not possible currently when you have everything painted in everything and anything.

Not too sure, if I had to be honest. Actually think it might have been 2837 quite often at the end when then ended up on the 51 or whatever. Before that I have a feeling it might've been whatever ended up onto the X85 as that used to be pretty much anything at one point and quite often a Solo. Not sure what the X85 ran off / onto though tbh.
