7367 isn't at Jesmond as far as I know?

I'm sure 7367 isn't at Jesmond since it's doing the peak time 57s to Fishburn every night.

Sorry, I thought it had moved north.

I said more details later.

The closure of these stops is to do with the work on the High Street. From Monday, work starts on moving the bus stops from outside the Post Office to further over with the taxi rank moving in the other direction. The stops outside the Post Office are not affected for now, but as such the following changes are being made (more details will be included once the map and other stuff are on-line):

All services (X66 Middlesbrough-bound only, see below) will use one of the 4 temporary stops being installed in the lay-by currently home to Stands 6-8. Stand 9 will also be used.
X66 Darlington Bound will be moving to a temporary stop on Bridge Road just passed the National Express stop.

Prestige 4043 has just been removed from service (unsure what but I'm thinking the 7) as its front centre bumper (the bit with the front registration plate on) appears to have fell off.

Original-Arriva liveried 2815 doing the honours on Nexus service 3 today.

6.5 out of 10 for earth-shatteringness.

Not exactly that 'earth-shattering' - it's quite common. It's the whole reason why these Solos (2815/45-7) moved to Jesmond in the first place - better to use a normal liveried Solo on Nexus work than using a Pulsar.

Was on 28/30s in the afternoon, I took it back to the depot tonight. In one piece, I might add

Was probability a simple fix - just re-fit the centre bumper and then send it back into service.

1755 was removed from service on the 6 and replaced with 1904 due to 1755 having a puncture (I believe?) - it was out later on 631/2
