(31 May 2015, 8:11 pm)Jackamcardle I can't seem to remember route 65, I knew it went from Gateshead but where to?

Which year? If recent, service 65 went from Gateshead to Dunston. It was the circular service along with the 64.

I think it was around 2004, and I have a photo of it in my room that I got from the bus rally, and it said that it went via the MetroCentre. It was using a Dennis Dart, 543 to be precise.

Yeah, I forgot it was extended beyond Dunston around about that time to replace services 613, 622 and 623 in the Crawcook and Greenside area. Service 64 was also extended and a service 65a was also introduced. 64 and 65 may have terminated in Chopwell and the 65a may have terminated at either Greenside or High Spen. I know the 65a ran direct between Ryton and Greenside via Woodside Lane.

Thanks, I was just trying to figure out where it terminated, it would have been a fairly good route!

It was no different any of the routes these service replaced. In fact, I think services M23/623 (and M20/620) were more interesting as at one point they started in Gateshead and operated via Newcastle and Metrocentre towards Chopwell.

(31 May 2015, 7:42 pm)R838PRG NGT 1975 Numbering Scheme - also has the depot allocations at Oct 1976

I have tried to decipher the 'legend' of Vehicle Manufacturers and Body Builders.

I can guess Ld is Leyland and AEC is obvious, as is MCW, ECW, Roe, Dr Daimler, Bl Bristol, and LN Leyland National.
Pn will be Plaxton, Wk Willowbrook, Du Duple, Ar Alexander, Wn Weymann, PR Park Royal, Rm Routemaster, Bm Burlingham, and Ml Marshall.

Re is, presumably, Renown.

Phew!

If you are talking about the Re which follows AEC, then this will be the AEC Reliance, a mediumweight bus/coach chassis dating back to the 1950's and 60's

IIRC the 64/64A/65 went to Blackhall Mill at some point. Will have to check out my photos to see.

Who needs heroes anyway? Villians have more fun.
