(06 Sep 2017, 8:52 pm)Jimmi Versa I had today did, they are strange one's that I haven't seen before, so I don't know what they are called.
I got a ticket on a dart on the m1 once, I have never seen one like it before - i have no clue how they get the ticket rolls in as the machines look flat.

Sounds like the ones that I saw today, it's practically a screen and not much else with the ticket coming out of the side of the screen.

Like credit card reader sized machines? Some of the hotel shuttle buses at Stansted Airport have some of them, produce little tiny tickets. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is though.

Looked a little bit like this (was the closest I could find on Google):

Wasn't there discussion about PCL offering a Northumberland day ticket before? It certainly would be a good idea if there services run, for example alot of connections:
15/16: Connect at Rothbury with the M1
A1: Connects at Longframlington with the M1
470/473: Connect at Alnwick with the A1 and 15
M1: Connects at Morpeth with the T1 and S1 allowing further connections to Stannington and Whitehouse Farm.
Surely with a expanding network it sure wouldn't be a miss to introduce a day ticket for these routes.

A recent arrival for PCL is Volvo B12B/Caetano Enigma FJ55BXW. Seen parked up on an industrial estate in Alnwick this morning.
RE: PCL Travel - S830OFT - 24 Oct 2017
Are North East Explorer tickets still accepted on Routes 470/473? I know they were when Glen Valley had them, but has it changed?

Details on Northumberland Council Site
The Nexus Website also has all of the up to date timetables.

I heard they are losing 470 473
RE: PCL Travel - Tom - 08 Nov 2017
Basically looks like the A1 is going to run onto the M1 instead of the 470/473. I don't see the problem in withdrawing those journeys on the A1 as I can't see many using them when there is no return bus. But I don't see the point in operating the M1 at all after those changes.

I would of thought be better if ran M1 so works onto 15
PCL Travel - Jimmi - 08 Nov 2017
I came to the same conclusion about the A1 & M1 now interworking. Shame about the reduction in journeys on service M1 though as it did sometimes pick up a few passengers on the way to Thropton, although not many, no clue on the other runs.
Nexus must have got those timetables done quick, VOSA only received the registration changes on November 2nd. Old timetables still on PCL's website and still no A1 timetable.
