(05 Feb 2021, 11:36 pm)Storx Nothing mentioned about Riverside, just they're replacing Omnidekkas. Imagine them going to Chester Le Street for the 25, the Omni's have been in daily service on there the past few days and they were rumoured to be going there awhile back. Possibly some for Percy Main to see off the DFDS bunch aswell for when the LEZ comes in. Think they're the only frontline Omnidekka's left now.Oh ok so like you say just to remove them from frontline work, thank you

Just tried to work it out there see what you mean now, seems to work on a 208 -> 204 -> 265 -> 202 circle by the looks of things with the reverse in the same skipping the 204 but the driver doing down to Station Town and back. Then again you could probably get arid of the 13 altogether and bar a few grumbles at first no-one would really care, the X20 does the same service even knowing it's a bit slow for Langley Park. Sacriston having the 16 and Witton Gilbert the X5/X15
Makes sense with the branding though tbf.
I've wondered for a while why the 13 still exists, as there aren't any links of any importance it covers that can't be done by another service ie 16 and x20. I don't think anybody would really lose out if it was withdrawn. Of course if it was there would be the usual twitter outrage from people, most of whom probably hardly ever use the service anyway.
If they did withdraw the 13 however then the x20 should use a full size single decker as it would be one less bus an hour between Durham and Langley Park.

Seems like a strange place to have it, maybe they ran out of space at Riverside?

Sure there’s at least 4 interdecks in the Voltra area at Riverside

Guaranteed. Not much GNE can do, really, with websites such as Bustimes providing easy to see fleet tracking. I'd hope folk would remain sensible, but the NE veg will be NE veg.

(12 Feb 2021, 3:24 pm)Andreos1 Have you given up on the using the bus?The 50 minute walk from my house through the woods to Testos roundabout via the 'Nature Reserve' to catch the 0558 X9 to Boro on a morning did it for me. I finally converted to a car driver. But I did it for a long time and got my scouts badge for doing so.
