Meanwhile Consett have a Venture solo allocated to the X5 (standing room only this morning and bus full after lanchester) despite having around 7 deckers sitting withdrawn in the depot. Looks like 6184 i the only older B9 left in service.
So that's its third day at Riverside. Very surprised on Thursday and Friday when it was at Hexham on the 680/684/688. I wonder if Hexham will get anything to replace the Solo SRs and Versas at some point, double deckers appear more common than previously, usually a Tyne Valley 10. No idea what it's now doing at Riverside. X-lines made a short return on the 684! (never been X-lines on the 684, only briefly when it was the X84/X85, December 2020-January 2022?
Thats crazy deckers have been withdrawn before enough buses have come in to replace them.
