(18 Oct 2015, 8:35 pm)S813 FVK Thats pretty damn close to the 'true North Seaton'. Doesn't make much difference.

So when someone who has looked at 'North Seaton' scrolling on the screen, they used the 30 a lot (which had North Seaton on the front), got on the 434 just to find out it only calls at The Elephant...?

Fancy a walk from The Elephant to North Seaton Village or North Seaton Colliery?  Wink

(18 Oct 2015, 10:23 am)Michael Ye, they'll probables go around in the light green base until repainted, i can't see them being temporarily withdrawn either.
thats what am thinking they might be kicking about waiting to get repainted so they will loose the highwayman brand while its in the que for the repainting shed at Saltmeadows
(18 Oct 2015, 4:55 pm)Michael Has 5327 being branded yet?.. it still has it down as gold on here.

In the description for 5327 it says it has.

Going back to the Scania Omnilink query. Go North East has operated two different demos (one 2 axle the other 3 axle) of this vehicle type, though I think the blue one may have been a loan to cover warrenty work on the Scania Omnicities.

First one was 2-axle version YN07EZB as seen here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/chriswhite...860995342/ - this now operates for Go-Ahead subsidury Anglian Bus

Second one was 3-axle version YR09GXP as seen here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmighty...rRx-pkDPfq - this ended up with DRM, Bromyard and is now registered UK09DRM.

I believe Northumberland County Council were responsible for selecting the via points - I certainly had no involvement in choosing what they were (same as the Durham University bus).

It doesn't look that far away from the green area so yes, i would walk from the Elephant into the Village or Colliery.

(18 Oct 2015, 8:33 pm)citaro5284 Do the drivers show Hadrian Park leaving Wallsend and then Wallsend when leaving Hadrian Park, as they should not just be showing Wallsend when leaving Wallsend.

(19 Oct 2015, 7:59 am)JakeSavage Re Citaros question: 40 and 41 drivers show "wallsend" ok departure from wallsend (they no longer change at Hadrian park).

That answers that query, then.

The 'places served' for service 40, according to Go North East's website is:
Wallsend - Station Road - High Farm - Battle Hill Drive - Hadrian Park - Howdon - Roshill - Wallsend 

As such, the destinations are as follows:

40 Hadrian Park
via Station Road - High Farm - Battle Hill Drive

40 Wallsend
via Howdon - Rosehill

41 Hadrian Park
via Rosehill - Howdon

41 Wallsend
via Battle Hill Drive - High Farm - Station Road

Departing Wallsend, the driver should show 'Hadrian Park', and, upon arrival at Hadrian Park, the destination should be changed to 'Wallsend'.

My point was that Northern is actually becoming a stand alone brand,  instead of being amalgamated into the new GNEcorporate livery. Like I said, would of been better if they brough back the WDS

Think West Durham Swift could have been brought up to date in the style of Red Kite, which looks good on Streetlites and Double Deck B9s, The  image of a Swift (bird) in flight, similarly placed on rear panel. (X30/X31 have no connection/synergy with other Toonlink services 11/12 or routes on that corridor)
X70/X71 could also have been included in this new "Swift service to Newcastle" (as these services were part of the original WDS having a similar routing from Sunniside)
"New Northern" Service 6 would have looked good similarly branded as "Magpie" with imagery of a Magpie in flight on rear quarter panel, following Red Kite (and peoposed "Swift" theme)
"Magpie" obviously has associations with Newcastle (Destination) but also (the birds) attraction to Diamonds (service with which it connects - having been the Northern part of the old Diamond service) - Maybe a lot more marketing could play on these themes?

All these "Bird in flight" brands would have synergy of connecting North West Durham towns with Newcastle.

p.s. - I notice from changes to Stanley services, the section of A692 from Pickering Nook Lights to Top Croookgate bank, passing The Hobson Hotel/Golf Course is no longer served (previously by 44 Diamond, which will in future be Northern 6 routed via Burnopfield)
