(20 Oct 2015, 2:02 pm)Dan Lothian Buses show "Route Diverted" on the destination display (as below), and also have other variations such as "Part Route":

So it's a similar system, but I believe theirs is manual rather than automatic.

(20 Oct 2015, 5:47 pm)Diamond One how many is that done? and is that all of them done someone needs to confirm if all done

(20 Oct 2015, 5:51 pm)Diamond One the tabs on simplygo.com show Green Arrows, Durham Diamond, Northern,

(20 Oct 2015, 5:52 pm)Michael Dan reported that yesterday,

(20 Oct 2015, 5:50 pm)Michael Looking at the fleet list on here, only 5287 (NK08 CFX) is to be branded.... so 8/9 has been done.

(5288 is still down as blue, but we know that'll be changed soon)

(20 Oct 2015, 6:05 pm)Diamond One must have missed that one by accident we all do it every now and again

(20 Oct 2015, 6:07 pm)Dan Yes, I think they're the final two to be branded and would have been done last night.

As they're now done and dusted, I believe any branding on the "Venture" branded minibuses which won't be relevant come the end of the month (references to Castleside, Stanley to Consett, connections to Metrocentre etc) is planned to be removed (and possible replaced) tonight.

(20 Oct 2015, 6:09 pm)Michael Any idea when the Omnidekka's will get branded?


Also will we finally see the cadets branded "Black Cats" after all the branding is done for the upcoming changes? 

(20 Oct 2015, 6:12 pm)DanPicken I've heard that they've scrapped the Black Cats as the Cadets will be gone soon.

(20 Oct 2015, 6:14 pm)Michael Wouldn't be surprised, its being so long since they announced it, nothing has happened....

They need to change the 33/33A timetables in the shops to "Go North East" if it has.

(20 Oct 2015, 6:16 pm)S813 FVK I dont think passengers will care about the fact that there is a bus displaying the black cats livery on the front of the leaflets. The chances are it will be changed when there are service revisions in that area affecting that servce.

(20 Oct 2015, 6:07 pm)Michael Ye, was just saying though, wasn't getting in to you =).

(20 Oct 2015, 8:31 pm)BusLoverMum Were on 6007 (Big'un thinks) on the X1 earlier. Horrible grating noise from the back, possibly to the left, whenever it braked or went around a bend or over a bump.

(20 Oct 2015, 8:59 pm)Malarkey Could of been worse, you of been a "Tinned Sardine" on the X1 I got on this evening coming home from work, had to be 80 to 90 Passengers on board upon leaving Gateshead Interchange, either way we were at full capacity, which I have never before witnessed on the X1 before.
