6325 just did quite an impressive fuel (?) dump outside of The Canon on Low Fell.
Plenty of smoke and some very shrivelled vinyls on the engine cover.

6315 replaced 6362 in Eldon Square, made it as far as High Level Bridge before expiring, 6193 replaced it some 40mins late, unsure if there was a issue with 6193 at Peterlee then 6194 replaced it

The White Display upgrade on the CityRider Gemini 2 looks really nice and suits it.

Streetlites use their retarder whilst in reverse for some reason, so if you've got an emissions light on they really struggle to go backwards, it's always fun.

8349 has had a white destination blind fitted, as it's original orange blind has been scrambled ever since it arrived from First...
RE: Go North East - State of the Fleet
6328 has been abandoned at the Eighton lodge roundabout stop heading southbound since about 1 this afternoon
Wistfully stuck in the 90s

8349 is ex Thamesdown - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...1612048093
Also I think it's only been doing that since around November 2025, as I've got photos of it before then and the blind was displaying normally.
