Saw the new white service numbers on the 21, 50 and X21 whilst I was in Durham and they look good, could read a 21 on the destination from miles away.
Think I got a cracking shot of an Angel Hybrid displaying the number near Durham Rail Station which should be on Flickr tonight.

Will be interesting to see the X21. The Arial font is a bit wider, which reduces the height available compared to standard fonts. On the computer screen it looked like it would be alright though!
In other news, Percy Main's Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6030 (V330 LGC) has arrived at Saltmeadows Road for repaint into Go North East's corporate livery.

(26 Mar 2015, 4:24 pm)Dan Has anyone got any photos of the 21 or X21 with white route numbers today?
Seen the 21 x21 28 28a 34 and 34a all showing the new style numbers looks good I must say

Just followed 6104(?) not in service along the road next to the new hospital near Cramlington (A189?). Any reason for this?

Possibly Driver Training.
I normally see Cobalt Clippers and North Tyne Links MPDs pass through Ashington on DT.

I doubt they'd flood in all at once, it will take time. Plus Saltmeadows can only store so many buses to im guessing its beneficial to them too.

The X40/40A is going to be replaced by a Q3 from July? when GNE take it over commercially.
Remaining the same route and every 20 minutes but its gonna inter work with the Q2, which looks to be going every 20 mins to.
All of the Quaylink versa's are due a repaint this year, i think it was mentioned that 8328 and 8329 would join the Quaylink brand to.

(27 Mar 2015, 5:46 pm)Davie Service X40 will be remembered Q3 and join services Q1 and Q2
And will interwork with service Q2 suggesting that it will serve Haymarket instead of going down John Dobson Street, up Blackett Street and back along Percy Street like it does currently. The X40 couldnt do this before because of obvious reasons...

Will it still not need buses
Cause I thought the loop buses were getting the retrofit along with the highwayman as part of the agreement with gateshead council

I don't think it was although it is highly likely anyway. Also, is the Q3 commercial? They seem to be taking a few contracted routes and turning them into commercial operations (3 in total)
