Lothian is much better than everyone else like. 

Not once did I see a wrongly branded vehicle or vehicle type on the wrong service.

So far, so terrible on my Lolyne hunt, had 6040 on the X21 and I am now on 6036 on the X25, if I'd have been on the correct side of the road I would have taken 7454 on the X12 over 6036 but sadly it didn't stop and I couldn't get across the road in time. Grrr!!!

Did you go to Edinburgh on a weekday or a Saturday, out of interest?

A number of routes run at a lower PVR on Saturdays, so they have a greater amount of spare buses to keep things on the right routes. This also has a downside, as it means that some of the extra branded buses end up going on walkabout. The E400Hs for the 10 regularly end up on the 8, for example.

Regularly goes to pot on a weekday, just like most other bus operators with branding!

Care to clarify?

Give me a list of the wrong allocations from Ashington and Blyth and I will provide a reason which your thick little brain probably won't understand. 

@DanPicken - Jesmond are aware that the ALX300s are branded, even the depot manager, an enthusiast, knows...

(23 Feb 2016, 6:43 pm)DanPicken I'm sure the X30 runs off the 306.

Or the 43/44/45...haven't seen many StreetLites on the X30...

Agreed that everyone is getting sick of the snide remarks, but something I personally get sick of is back seat moderating in response to it.

Countless times have people been told to use a the report button or PM a moderator about it, and the site rules certainly haven't changed!

These bunch of tits. Virgin Trains East Coast. 

If you book on websites like Trainline, Trainsplit, Raileasy etc, you usually get a better deal than the rail operator themselves....despite what they say. 

So, at 1605 this evening, almost a week after I travelled, I receive the attached email from this scandolous money-pinching idiots because I booked with someone else....
