(21 Oct 2015, 5:48 am)NK53 TKT Just a question, what services are Vykings allocated to at Riverside?
If anyone sees the StreetDeck on the X9/X10 today, let me know.
Hey Dan/Citaro: appreciate there's a limit to requests, but would it be possible to think about changing the number colour on either the 20 or the 50?
The more aged folks (and also some younguns!) at shields have difficulty distinguishing between a blue/purple bus showing "Durham" as the destination, when there's also a similarly coloured number (which can be easily transposed in some peoples minds...)
Perhaps moreso when it's a red spares allocation?

(21 Oct 2015, 8:23 am)Transbus574 As far as I'm aware they are only allocated to scholars then they sit spare in the depot and a couple at gateshead until needed on service work to cover breakdowns etc

When the 921 stopped at the same stand at heworth as the X10, people still got on the 921 expecting to go to Middlesbrough. Needless to say they weren't happy when they were told they couldn't get off until Rainton
