Totally agree. Maybe just something like this would do? Then the 'waffle' can be put along the bottom and the basic message is clear.

Crikey, some cracking odd balls there! I've certainly not seen a Hybrid appear off-route yet.

Few month ago one of the Sunderland Connect Hybrids was on the 135 on the Sunday.. only time iv'e seen it off route

RE: Go North East - Latest - MrFozz - 07 Sep 2013

630 on 61 on Stand in Park Lane about 5/10 minutes ago, again not the best shot...

Think I have only ever seen a hybrid off its stamping ground 4 times, on the 61 twice(today and last year) and last week on the 36A and 39

RE: Go North East - Latest - Dan - 07 Sep 2013

628 ("Sunderland Connect" branded non-Hybrid spare) appears off-route quite a great deal, it's just the Hybrids (629, 630 and 640) that I've never actually seen off-route.
I only hope 629 and 640 are both on the 700 today. As it's only PVR 2 on summer Saturday timetable, it's not so bad.

RE: Go North East - Latest - MrFozz - 07 Sep 2013

The ones I saw last week on 36A/39, I think I attached a bad pic of the Doxy bound 39 up this thread somewherw were branded although the one I saw in Murton last year may have been unbranded, will have to rummage through my pictures

Scaina on the 202?! That's a touch of class mind! If it stays on all day it should be on the 260/265.

How do the East Durhams interwork is it like so:

202 Seaham-Peterlee

Yeah something like that..
I think

202 Peterlee-Seaham
265 Seaham-Durham
259 Durham-High Pittington-Durham
260 Durham-Peterlee
Then back round.

And the other way is
202 Seaham-Peterlee
260 Peterlee-Durham
265 Durham-Seaham

What time did you spot the laser Scaina?

RE: Go North East - Latest - MrFozz - 07 Sep 2013

The information on my photo shows it was was 9:58 when I took the pic...

Then 2 minutes later the Solo Hybrid comes trundling round the Corner Big Grin

RE: Go North East - Latest - Adrian - 07 Sep 2013

Loop 5225 is on the 58 today, along with what's now a usual Renown (4842 today).

RE: Go North East - Latest - gtom - 07 Sep 2013

An Un-ID'd Northern B10 roaring down Long Bank on the 28's earlier.

Either that or his brakes have failed (having been on a Waggonway when that happened I can confirm it's quite fun)

The above post suggests that a "Red Kite" Omnicity has been involved in some sort of incident.

Oof, never good when an Olympian gets itself into an accident - especially with their limited lifespan left within the fleet...
