I'd say 1/1A, Riverside spares or Chester is more likely myself. Wouldn't waste your breath mate, doesn't seem to matter how many times to try to apply logic, you'll just continue to see the same stuff crop up time and time again, guess I better dream up a suggestion for a service to Newcastle Airport then [emoji39][emoji1787] |

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2
Just worked this out for the ex London B9s. With the running times on the 12 / 12A looking a bit tight (are they?), could one of them end up going standalone with the other interworking with the 6? |

Might this just be commuter buses from and to Consett via Lanchester to make up for direct links lost from Lanchester to Newcastle back in 2015? The rest of the day might be Stanley to Newcastle as now as I don't see how an all day change would be viable. The X30 and X31 would take passengers from the 16 and 78. |

(25 Jun 2019, 10:02 am)DH9 wrote You could well be right! With 28x StreetDecks going to Consett (as well as 3x E400MMCs): - 14x X45/X46/X47 - 3x X30 - 3x X31 - 5x X70/X71 - 3x X5/X15 - 3x spare StreetDecks This could mean that the Consett extension will most likely be peak times only to reduce dead mileage maybe or evenings & Sundays for that matter? |

There's a Toon Tour ticket (valid on Q services between Newcastle and Gateshead) and a Toon Tour Plus which is valid on all GNE services. The tickets are valid for 24 hours too! Pleasantly surprised! It took away the shock and horror of the £4.60 fare they're wanting on a Kia Picanto Solo! I might pop up in the pricing thread tomorrow to share my thoughts on both. 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

I'll just continue to sit here and hope that they put an open topper on the X21 And since you seem like such a fan of the Kia Picanto, I made an X-lines branded Kia Picanto X-line just for you! (not gonna lie, I actually think it looks quite nice!)

(25 Jun 2019, 10:49 pm)JP6004 wrote Nah, I think we'll just get the generic X-Lines livery, that way they can be used as spares anywhere. It wouldn't look very good if we only had 2 X-Lines branded Streetdecks with the others still Castles Express, which I hope they don't get rid of because it's honestly the best branded route. It's branded, but it's not over the top like some of the others *cough*56*cough* |

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2
The new timetables are now on Traveline North East. It seems one X30 or X31 an hour continue to Consett and continues until after 10 pm from Newcastle to Stanley. Late X30 seem to link in with 78A to continue journey (at least last one does). I suspect this is more about transporting drivers between Consett and Stanley. 6A reduced to hourly on an evening and last bus is at 23.10, not 23.15. M6 is now Lanchester to Metrocentre, with seemingly no 30 or 30A. M8 is retimed but not too different. Pattern of M6 / M6 / M8 towards Stanley. M7 is truncated to East Stanley Circular. X70 now operates two hours later into the evening. Most 45s / 46s become X45s / X46s except for 45E journeys, now just 45s. Last bus leaves Newcastle at 23.23, two minutes earlier. From something I saw a while back, 15 becomes X15 and 15A becomes X5. I'm not sure of effect on timings. I'll leave it to others to work out rest. |

(25 Jun 2019, 11:02 pm)streetdeckfan wrote There is no generic Xline livery. All have different route colouring. Also one of them is making up the PVR on X21. Maybe they will repaint current Castles Express into a blue Xlines livery... |

(25 Jun 2019, 11:36 pm)JP6004 wrote I just meant that it wouldn't have any particular route branding on it, particularly on the spare. Going on the fact that they've already ripped the castles off 6304, I'd guess they're planning a repaint sooner rather than later, but they're only 3 years old so I would think they'd want to get a bit more life out of the current livery! Also, going on what X-lines liveries have been released so far, I'd guess that, assuming they'd be ditching the Castles Express branding, it'd look something like this (I know I got a bit wrong last time I posted one of these, but yolo)
