(08 Oct 2015, 6:35 pm)park5354 The withdrawn B10's that Riverside had been using for parts have been removed from vor row, and replaced by yellow MPD 542.

If GNE could get a hold of some Streetlites for a good price and sort out the 96 / 96A board, do you think they will streamline the Ryton - Newcastle corridoor and introduce a 10C running the same route as the 11 to Blaydon then the same route as the TEN group to Newcastle (11A would still exist though)? Something like this:
- Crawcrook to Newcastle every 7-8 minutes (15 evenings and Sundays).
- 10 / 10B = PVR of 10x B9TL Gemini 2s.
- 10A / 10C = PVR of 8x Streetlites.

Didn't Dan say ages ago that they were moving away from having 2 different set of buses for a branded route.

(08 Oct 2015, 8:51 pm)Adrian See, I still think having a letter prefix/suffix is confusing, if there's already a similar service of that number. People often don't see beyond the service number. Just look at the 20/20A/X20 for that.
My preference would be a route number per service, even if it is only slightly different.

(08 Oct 2015, 9:00 pm)Michael I think its reading where they use decimals for services like 7.1,7.2,7.3 not sure thats the routes but its an example... to me that's more confusing than to many letters haha.

(08 Oct 2015, 9:00 pm)Michael I think letters only work on certain services.. 2/2A example, routes which have loads, such as the current TEN brand can be confusing.

(08 Oct 2015, 9:03 pm)Adrian Do they though? 2A/2C was originally for 'anti-clockwise' and 'clockwise'. The 2A would run Fatfield -> Harraton -> Lambton -> Galleries -> Biddick -> Fatfield, whereas the 2C was Fatfield -> Biddick -> Galleries -> Lambton -> Harraton -> Fatfield. It was sharp changed though, because it was causing confusion amongst passengers. I find you still get passengers jump on the 2/2A, and then get confused it doesn't go to Lambton or to Biddick.

But there again, a split allocation could pose a safety issue:
- Riverside driver operates the 10B / 10C early during his / her shift and operates via the Brewery.
- Later on, the same driver operates a 10 / 10A and ends up usng the sane route causing a decker to be de-roofed and passengers injured.
