(10 Oct 2014, 4:06 pm)AIG20 wrote From Whitburn towards South Shields, the 15:41 E2 was 10 minutes late, and the 15:46 E6 was 5 minutes late. Since these workings are the school run, they were clogged full of noisy teenagers - some were only on the bus to get off at the next two stops, which is incredibly lazy (especially on a nice day like today).
It's not every day whereby this is an issue (yesterday that run departed on-time), but nine times out of ten, it's going to be late or regulated - yet the E1 and E6s appear to be departing on-time.
It looked like the E6, which forms the 1617 E2, came in about five minutes late - but was still (rather bizarrely) regulated - unless it was another service. Scrap being social - think I'll go back to the Metro soon...
In other news, Richard Smiles reports the latest arrivals to include:
- 27164 (SN64 OJO)
- 27165 (SN64 OJP)
The latter is said to have arrived at 17:00 this evening - this puts ADL two vehicles ahead of schedule.
Fleet lists updated to show the registrations of the above two vehicles as well as pulling 27160 out of 'reserve' capacity.
