I had 6095 back from my Mam's and this broke down at Wrekenton with an alarm going off which sound similar to ones you'd hear from reactors.

Looking at the Fleetlist on Bustimes.org Go North East now only have a Fleet of 492 Vehicles which does not seem to be enough vehicles for the services they're operating in my opinion.

If you check bus times fleetlist you will see that half of the cityriders were not missing today, 6089 and 6090 can not currently be allocated to the 56 for time being so are used on the 20/20A/X20/65, there was only 2 vehicles suffering issues leading to their replacement, the rest have ran their runs, some 56s run off scholar's so use ex London B9s
