(25 Mar 2016, 7:36 pm)GMitchelhill More than likely as there are a few minibus boards on the 17a. Seems to be a mix of Singles and Minis on it today, spotted freshly repainted MPD 549 and Omnicity 5273 on the 17a/40/41 group of services today. Prob be a clearer picture on Sunday, though evenings likely to retain a mix from what was on the 17/40/41/80 during the day.

The Sunday service should be allocated a full complement of minibuses.

The weekday evening service is allocated a mixture of minibuses and full size single decks, as they work off normal daytime 17s and 40/41/80s.

I assume the InDiGo solos have entered service today, just on Tuesday I plan to in the morning get the 41, 80 and the metro replacement hoping for the ALX400 with URBAN 90s then in the evening the last 74 to Hexham as my grandma lives in Darras Hall and she would like to join me.

5408 does not have the NSA blobs on either side. Don't know if it is worth looking in to.

Just seen 6307, the first Steetdeck I have actually seen in person, and I have to admit, they look absolutely stunning. Perfect vehicle design for the livery, too. Don't think it would have looked as good on anything else.

Also it popped up on my Facebook timeline the other day.

Even if that Merc had stuffed his face, the Purple Solar wasn't gonna win the race!

A quick query - with the entry into service of 667-71, what has become of 558, the last active MPD in the original Tynedale Links livery?
