(25 Feb 2016, 7:12 pm)GMitchelhill I believe the Nexus Bus Solo SRs from Deptford are going to Hexham for the AD122.

That is correct.

This year, the AD122 will additionally feature Next Stop Announcements. The first bus - 636 - was fitted with TFT monitors and speakers earlier today.

(25 Feb 2016, 6:43 pm)GMitchelhill Do you see every part of every journey like? If the service wasn't providing positive figures, it would have been long withdrawn by now. The service is actually a vital lifeline to people in the North Sunderland estates linking them to Sunderland Royal Hospital.

When I see it the bus is usually empty yet some parts of the day it's usually iffy one minute gets passengers next it's quiet as a stone

Will the buses have a logo for the AD122, like MPD's did last year?

Its good they'll have stop announcements.

I bet the passengers of the 238 will be happy they'll be getting MPD's, heard a few people complain that you can only get one pushchair or wheel chair on at the same.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Yes, they will be repainted and branded.

I would expect more 'extravagant' branding than last year.

Will they go yellow and blue like the new MPD's?

I would hope so, last years was terrible with just the logo.

I quite liked last years livery. I think anything more would be too much.

I doubt they will want them to look identical to the new Tynedale Links brand too. Just have to wait and see, i guess.

The livery of the Classic Coaches AD 122 was very good IMO.

I can understand why GNE kept the MPDs in yellow base livery (to allow flexibility?) at a time when the viability of the route was in doubt.

I like that livery to, hopefully its something like that.



Seems a few routes will have a fleet allocation change in the next couple months, Any news on what the 5 and 50 will use when they start to interwork?
