(01 Oct 2015, 4:16 pm)Sidthebusbabe I've been meaning to ask this for ages, how long has the 69 displayed 'Blaydon' on it's destination display instead of 'Winlaton?'
The x30,X31 etc Stanley-Town buses are now going to be Toon link unsure on what will be used yet probably omnideckers getting toonlink branding but not confirmed yet.
96,11,12,12a are all toonlink omnideckers with plain black onces expected to join the fleet.
Dark green is the new highwayman livery once branded for the 97. 98 only runs rush hour using whatever is spare.
Red scanias are being used on a B10 route. Probably 64/95 or 67/69 or both, but maybe even 57 only.
Blue mercs are the Stanley-Durham service.

(02 Oct 2015, 1:27 pm)thetravelman Do you have inside information or is this your good guess?
Do you think that they would change the current Omnicities on the current ToonLink - 11,31,32 services, for Newly branded "ToonLink" Black Omnideckers that are expected in the coming months for the new ToonLink services 11, 12, 12a?
I think it could be a good idea, however the current Omnicities have not long been updated for ToonLink and surely GNE would of delayed its update from Purple vehicles to Black Omnicities, if only a few months later they would change again. Although the upcoming changes are NEW, I'm sure GNE would of been considering this for many months previously, even before going thru the consultation process.
Also, I think Dan suggested that the current Omnideckers are Not likely to be re-painted again so soon.
Surely as they are branding the X30, X31, X32 services as ToonLink they will want to use ToonLink branded vehicles and not just Red Omnideckers??
Its all very interesting though, looking forward to finding out !

The NSAs don't work but a system is fitted - the 'Bus Stopping' screen on them is where the stop names would scroll.

(02 Oct 2015, 3:26 pm)S813 FVK I wasn't getting wound up? Maybe if i used one of the smilies at the end of that particular part of my post, it may of been clearer?
Just another example of people not making what they are saying clear to others but are clear to them i suppose.
