I have to disagree. The best bus I have ever had on the 9 was 6030 which says a lot.

They certainly are not! With all types of buses there are good onces and bad onces. Dual door onces tend to be the worst onces.

Don't think the new 22 is going to be much of a threat to the 309 / X39 although it could affect the 1 judging by the times. However, judging by the loadings of the 310 tonight from North Shields towards Newcastle (both short runs to Norham Road and full runs to Newcastle), I think GNE will end up doing the following to fully protect themselves from the 22.

Like what Arriva do to the 306 by cutting the full westbound route to every 30 minutes during Monday to Friday afternoons, I think they might end up doing that with the 310 and using the half hourly vehicles to provide more buses between Cobalt and Newcastle during peak times.

I would choose some bad things in comparison to Renowns like the Y-Reg low landers at Arriva
I do like almost everything else, particularly:
MPDs
GNE OmniCity's
Citaros
Enviro 200
Enviro 400
etc Angel

Actually the Citaro and the Cito are 2 completely different vehicles.

This is what a Mercedes Cito looks like - https://www.flickr.com/photos/tec869/161...KRt-s2Bkf6

Though the ones I went on operated with MIVB STIB (Brussels City Transport)
