Streetdeck - 9119 was on 10A earlier this evening around 4.40pm at Blaydon heading for Newcastle.
Something I've noticed on the NEW 434 service recently and kept meaning to mention/ask about, is when I've seen it/passed me, there has been another two GNE looking staff on aboard aswell as the Driver. Now one of the people, tends to wear a Hi-Vis vest and often standing towards the front of bus, so I assumed this was maybe a Mentor for Route Learning. But the second person can often be seen sitting towards the rear of the bus or next to a passenger - what will he be doing?
Is this guy there for PR reasons, Customer Services !! Maybe to get feedback from customers ??

(09 Nov 2015, 8:52 pm)Dan I believe one is there every day (at least on weekdays) - the main driver's meal break is covered by the driver who appears to be a mentor. I don't think it has anything to do with training drivers, but I may be wrong as that's really not my department.

(09 Nov 2015, 9:05 pm)S813 FVK Could have been sat down so you may have mistaken them for an extra passenger? Assuming you didn't get on the bus.
