(05 Apr 2016, 9:01 pm)S813 FVK I'd say that WiFi would be good for the Venture routes now the amount of longer distance routes have been increased (V7/V8, V9, 689, possibly the 30 but not too important). Appreciate it is a costly excercise, though.

(05 Apr 2016, 9:04 pm)Tom The NSAs on the Venture don't work either (or at least they didn't on the 30 or V7 today) so they could do with looking at as well. But yeah I agree wifi would be worth it. Don't think they are big enough for the V7/V8 either.

(05 Apr 2016, 9:09 pm)South Tyne Lad Was quite interesting when they were working on the 689 a few weeks ago, Especially when they announced " This Section is Hail and Ride " and extre stuff after that.
I agree with Wifi on the Venture too, Though some of them look slightly grubby on the outside too now I think.
The Solos on the Ventures are smaller than the Recent Indigos and Tynedale's. Not a mssive difference but the Ventures are 8.9M and the Indigos etc are 9.25M so probably a extra row of seats bigger.

(05 Apr 2016, 8:58 pm)Jimmi Yeah I'd say it would be difficult to justify new buses for the 18, possibly some cascades from Nexus routes or somewhere would probably work.

(05 Apr 2016, 9:18 pm)Tom I've never been on a Venture with working NSAs yet! Normally just shows a screen saying something like visit simplygo.com for info on services.

With regards to NSAs I was on the Red Kite today and much prefer the NSAs on there compared to Emma Hignett. Who done them on there?

(05 Apr 2016, 9:03 pm)Michael Ye, the solos from the NEXUS routes would be better for it, and WIFI, not sure about the Indigo brand for it though...

Couple of examples:

Indigo Sunderland - 33/38/238 (Going by upcoming changes in May)
Indigo Washington - 82/82A/85/86

(05 Apr 2016, 9:20 pm)South Tyne Lad Haha only had one once with a working NSA and that was that 689.

I prefer Emma Hignett to all the rest, Especially that nightmare that's Steve and Karen!
I'm not sure who the Red Kite announcer is, Stuart Elmore?

(05 Apr 2016, 9:30 pm)South Tyne Lad Ah right, I'm sure ive heard Stuart Elmore on here though. What Service does he voice?

(05 Apr 2016, 9:20 pm)S813 FVK Total capacity difference for M890 and M925 is 6

Seats: 29 in M890 and 30 in M925
Standing: 20 in M890 and 25 in M925

(05 Apr 2016, 9:41 pm)Arcticrossy92 I might be wrong, but I don't think the 30 has ever had NSA, Weren't all the Venture NSA recorded before the changes, well before the 30 existed, I Know it replaced the X30 from Stanley to Lanchester, And am I right in thinking the Quaking houses section was the 130?

(05 Apr 2016, 9:43 pm)NK53 TKT Correct about Quaking Houses but I don't think the 30 has NSAs. You should raise the issue with Dan and Citaro5284

(05 Apr 2016, 10:11 pm)S813 FVK The 30 does not have NSAs yet. Quite enjoy going up Quaking Houses, mainly because of the pink gate near the turning circle at the top - stands out like a sore thumb, even at night.
