Appears to be someone dicking about with the fleet number on the ticket machine, suspect it's actually 6317 given it magically changed from 6810 to 6317 at Bishop Auckland on a West Auckland bound trip earlier.

6801/6810 are fleet numbers for the new Cummins Wright Streetdeck's currently being built at Wrightbus.

Highly doubt any other these have been delivered yet and it's two vehicles that have had ticket machines swapped due to faults.

surely 6801/6810 are the numbers for the EV double deckers that are coming. The diesel ones will probably be 6378 onwards

Yes

6378 - 6403 Diesel

6801 - 6826 Electrics

Would assume the 4 single EVs are either 8810 - 8814 or 5810 - 5814

Alot of the School buses this morning through Lanchester were either late or running around a circle in the village before heading to the school, couldn't work out what was going on but imagine it will have a knock on effect to other services.

Quite a few transfers to Deptford

Have they lost any buses in exchange?

It’s not been on the X10 for a while, must be victim to the same issues as the Angel Streetdecks where they can’t roam far away from Riverside

Durham Diamond decker operating from Deptford today.

Cobalt & Coast on the 52

Tyne Valley 10 (6071) doing the Ferry run!

Possible swap for CAZ zone reason or something else. Both did each other services (Cobalt did the 327 & TVT did the 52)

6956 was also out on the 54 meaning only 50% of the allocated vehicles today (3/6) were E10's. Looks like 8807/08/09 are all VOR #MissingVoltraEV's

It's cold, the EV vehicles appear to be absolutely hopeless with colder weather. 

It's always the same.

6347 on the 78

5498 on the 10A alongside 1 fleet and 3 Angels.
