(16 Feb 2016, 4:00 pm)Davie Me and Dan were told on Saturday that 3942 and 3943 were joining 3941 at Percy Main. Does anyone know if it's true or not?

Only explanation for this would be either standby vehicles positioned in Shields or if a PVR increase using 6117, the 309 / 310 being split (not interworking bar perhaps a Sunday and a few early morning runs and maybe between 17:30 and 20:00); due to the imminent roadworks due to take place on the Norham Road / Coadt Road junction.

Doubt it at the moment but ony time will tell. Haven't seen any recent changes registered for the above mentioned services mind.

(16 Feb 2016, 2:36 pm)Jimmi Is there a reason why the 8 I'm on has missed out the area round Beamish Museum?

Update on this, apparently the road is closed there.

Just me who thinks one of the Wear Tees Xpress branded Citaro's should be repainted into the corporate livery? There seems to be one off route most days, most often on the 35/36 and it is just starting to look silly now.

It's pointless the 36 being branded See It Do It as there's never any on it's always Solars and WTX.

I said that a couple of month's ago.

It very rare you see anything other than a SeeIt Doit on the 35 (Apart from a WTX).

I think the 36 is branded is to show it's cross city links. I may be wrong, however.

The 35 runs onto 35a on evenings that's why citaros are on that and if any citaros are of road they would put the rare bus on 36
