Interesting. Wonder if it's being replaced with anything else. Not sure how much of the route is unique to that service.
Scarlet Band Motors - Jimmi - 28 Sep 2017
Can someone please tell me which sides of the road the S1 & S2 are supposed to stop on at Claypath? According to BusTimes it's S1 opposite the Gala Theatre and S2 adjacent to the Gala Theatre, this afternoon both services came up Leazes Road then went up Claypath (side adjacent to the Gala Theatre) but on Monday GuyParkRoyal photographed two buses on the S2 heading down Leazes Road.
I honestly can't make out how the route for this service is supposed to work and I'm not convinced the drivers do either!

The S2 has just come down from claypath to leazes bowl, past pb car park suggesting it would have stopped on the John duck, not the gala side. Makes more sense if it's heading to the botanic gardens.
Edit: in fact no, it's displaying the wrong number. It should be S1, that way, according to the SB website.

Based on the published timetable and the information posted at the bus stands in Claypath I agree with the assumptions that you have made. In the case of my photo of YJ55 YGH, I observered that bus coming from Tesco following the GNE 20 that I was on so in my opinion the photo that I took of YJ55 YGH should have been an S1 (not S2).
The only assumption that I can make is that both buses were running late and the drivers may not have had time to change from S2 to S1. I went up to Tesco to try and get a couple of static photos of the buses changing from S2 to S1 however both buses went past Tesco at speed without stopping so destinations were not changed and in view of the heavy rain I returned to the City Centre.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - Jimmi - 28 Sep 2017
I wouldn't be surprised if the S1/S2 were running late, timetable looks questionably achievable at off peak times, dread to think how it's supposed to stick to time during peak times when the services are given no extra running time.

Good grief! It'd be cheaper to just get the 6 and 64 for a return journey.

Will just be the current service 7 being re-numbered.
Same with the 20 (1, 2?) re-numbered from 70/71/72.
Variations on services 110/111/112 from the same date as well.
