It would be easier swapping 1579/1580 with 1512/1513 from Jesmond, atleast they can be appropriate spares for the X21/X22.

Only use StreetLites on Sapphires in an emergency, as even the deckers can't handle peak loadings now. Better off keeping the Pulsars at Jesmond...

With 12x ADL E400s now confirmed as to going to Belmont from Yorkshire is it likely the following will take place...
7416 - 7419 - Jesmond replacing 7410/7413 - 7415.
7420 - 7422 - Blyth replacing 7411/7485/7487.
7423/7427 - Ashington replacing 7484/7486
7453 - 7455 - Jesmond replacing 3x Geminis on School Contracts.

Stockton’s Centros are generally found on service 7 (SB120) and X12 or X22 (SB200)

Would prefer the lowlanders at blyth as they are better than any other bus at blyth hence why 7456 was the best bus at blyth when it was there would have preferred blyth keeping that and giving belmont 7411 in trade for 7620 with 3 ALXs being put in a plain max base livery for the scholars

I seen 1566 in Sunderland about 7am this morning driving down Durham Road towards the city centre

1766 has been involved in a serious RTC in Ashington earlier. Van has gone into the back of it at some speed, causing some injuries to passengers on board.

What will be replacing 1766 at Blyth? Could 4523 go to Redcar releasing 1759?

(06 Apr 2019, 11:57 am)Dans_bus_photos wrote I seen 1566 in Sunderland about 7am this morning driving down Durham Road towards the city centre

It's on loan to Belmont, was on 22/23/24 today. Belmont also have 1608 from Darlington atm, no idea why.

1766s rear is completely gone, currently parked in Blyth Depot still displaying 1 Blyth.

7506 has recived full body branding for tu.co.uk

How many journeys on the X12 is a Double Decker allocated? And is it a fixed journey?

Officially, only one Durham board (of 5) should be a B7TL.

(14 Apr 2019, 4:05 pm)S830OFT wrote How many journeys on the X12 is a Double Decker allocated? And is it a fixed journey?

The times I've seen a decker on (usually an alx400) , it seems to be arriving just before or just after 5 into Newcastle.

(14 Apr 2019, 4:05 pm)S830OFT wrote How many journeys on the X12 is a Double Decker allocated? And is it a fixed journey?

20:20 from Newcastle (Weekdays only)

Haha! Bigun wouldn't know where to put himself!

X12 DD's don't appear to end up on a fixed board... one on the 0830 ex Mbro today but they had one on 0655 (normally a Stockton board, but they're all changed for the 2 weeks of roadworks outside Sedgefield causing a diversion via A19) one day last week

Is there a confirmed date as to when Killingworth Road re-opens and if 18(SNE),54,and X8 will return to its normal route

Just a matter of interest where are the B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini’s based Depot wise?

Haha! I saw that ad in Glasgow the other week!

Some questions I likely know the answer to, although would like some clarification...
Is the X22 allocated a Mix of Pulsar 2s and Centros?
Is 7539 allocated to a set board on the 22/23/24?
Will 1915/1922 final day in service be Saturday?
Is 1759 usually found on 62/64/64A?
Is 4516 usually found on 64/64A/81?
Finally, is the X4 usually found with a Temsa allocated, alongside StreetLites?

Thank You!

The Adventure valley promotion on the 62 seems to have actually worked. We caught it at lunch time and it was standing room only between Millburngate and Fram.

Are 4721-26 going to repainted or are they going to stay in the old livery

Can't answer all of these but I'll give it a go
1) X22 does appear to be a mix of Pulsars and Centros. Don't forget it's temporarily running with a PVR of 4 until next week
2) Unsure
3) Doubt it
4) Tends to be on 64/64a whenever I see it, but these do interwork with 62 on a Saturday so likely will appear on there
5) 4516 can appear on either
6) If there is a Temsa required, you will usually find it on the X3. The 0810ish from North Skelton seems to be a favourite board (this turns in Saltburn to return to Lingdale on schooldays)
