Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings 2024
Blue X-lines 6310 on the 20, today. Is this a permanent move or is everything messed up from the weekend?

About 0830 this morning I noticed 729 on the 700, looked quite cosy passenger wise with several people standing.

Did the lesser spotted Angel Streetdeck actually operate the X39 this morning or is bustimes having fun?

If it did - assume it was a cover for one of the DFDS buses that normally operates it and it dipped off Metro replacements?

It did, it was the Riverside operated run that comes off the Q3

2 Crusaders, 2 East Gateshead Riders, and 1 Tyne Valley Ten on the X21 today if tracking is to be believed.

Are we allowed to point out yet how ridiculous all of the brands are or is it still meant to be helping recover the business?

Although 6081 is double tracking on the 57, they're all otherwise likely to be true, I certainly drove past an EGR & a Crusader in Bishop Auckland this afternoon, 3943 was also allocated this morning but seemingly expired at Chester Moor around lunchtime.

Was same story yesterday with the same two East Gateshead Rider's being allocated - 6149 & 6153, along with Crusader's 6003 & 6051, plus corporate B9TL 6199.

No, we aren't! Gotta promote links for East Gateshead to the people of Bishop Auckland, I guess [emoji2369]
