RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - South Tyne Lad - 22 Aug 2015
(22 Aug 2015, 4:25 pm)NK53 TKT Does anyone know why the 353 allocation is Riverside and not Percy Main?
There isn't really a reason for it, all I could think of is because the last service finishes at Kingston Park so instead of running around 10 miles dead mileage across Newcastle City Centre and Suburbs to Percy Main, it would just be easier and more cost effective to only run the 3 miles dead to Riverside for the night.

Aside from their designated scholars duties (not sure if it's changed, but I believe one runs onto the evening X78 from Consett), I think they're all to be used as last resorts.

The first actually leaves from Wideopen at 6:53 on weekdays and 7:53 on Saturdays and from Kingston Park at 10:30 on Sundays and there's a PVR of 2 with the one finishing at Kingston Park at 23:24 and the other finishing at Four Lane Ends at 23:19 same on a Saturday and Sunday.

819 - Olympian
820 - Dennis Trident 2
821 - Olympian
822 - Dennis Trident 2
823 - Dennis Trident ELC
824 - Olympian
825 - Olympian
826 - Dennis Trident 2
827 - Dennis Trident 2
828 - Dennis Trident 2
829 - Dennis Trident ELC
Two buses on the morning and afternoon #808 services - one each way interworks with services X70/X71 so should be allocated a Scania N94UD, and the other is standalone so should be allocated a Dennis Trident ELC.
The morning #X78 interworks with scholars service 822 and this will be the same bus which operates the 16:55 #11 Newcastle to Blackhall Mill now. The afternoon #X78 interworks with scholars service 826.
As present, the Volvo Olympians should not be allocated to normal public services, but can appear as a last resort reserve when no other low-floor vehicles are available.

With the new Tynedale Links are there enough branded vehicles to cover all the routes. eg.(74,74A,680,682,683,686,687,688?)

Because of the new Optare Solos at Peterlee, Transbus MPD 560 has transferred over to Hexham aswell as Alexander Dennis MPD 618 and 619 from Peterlee and Scania L94UB Wright Solar 4966 from Riverside which im sure will go down a treat at Hexham. This should definitely be enough.

I thought they moved for scholars...
I would like a ride on either 618 and 619. Will they become branded?

4966 didn't move for scholars
Im not sure on what's happening with branding, im sure someone else on the forum will know the plans.
