Looks like the reason Percy Main needed another decker is because they operate the afternoon 665 instead of Saltmeadows. I thought it was strange that Saltmeadows operated anyway unless it done something else after.

The AD122 ends next Sunday, will the Solo's be withdrawn for repairs?, if so where will they end up after until the AD122 re-starts again next year?
Have 619, 4942 and 4944 been withdrawn yet?

Has the 168 moved to Washington as I was told solo 705 has moved back to Washington

686 has a full amber led display replacing it's previous white one which must of been faulty, looks horrendous given it still has side/rear white led's.

No it’s still at Chester-Le-Street, 708 is the bus for the 168

When will 619 be withdrawn? as it is out on 686 today.

Looks like it'll be after the AD122 finishes next week now.

Just seen two 20A's running together.
Surely there has to be a better way of managing the Durham delays?

Terminate them at Claypath

Doesn't help people who need onward connections, though. There would need to be a bus waiting to take them to the bus station.

I should have said that they were both Shields bound.
Guessing they were pretty close Durham bound too like.
Houghton would have been an ideal place to consolidate loads.

I wonder what the frequency of the Sunderland to shields section would of been on the 20/20A due to the hold ups at gilesgate, should of sent the 60 to shields and have the 20/20A only between Sunderland and Durham only as Durham is unpredictable

The 60?! The 60 is worse than the 20 for reliability due to Seaham being unpredictable for most of the day.
There’s nothing wrong with the reliability of the 20 outside peak times. Yesterday was only bad due to the perfect storm the 15 times a year Sunderland play at home on and a busy Saturday in Durham.

The 20 should go back to Sunderland to Durham only with a new route between Sunderland and South Shields.

Reliability isn't an issue, other than on match days when Sunderland play at home. In this instance all that needs to be done is for the service to be regulated effectively on a match day to combat late-running.
By no means should a re-hash of the services in Sunderland be necessary.

Put it on the end of 8/78/78A..! It's such an obvious missing link between Pelton and Cleadon!

As long as it gets there via Lambton it would be good....
