(25 Mar 2016, 12:00 pm)BJ10VUS Just out of curiosity, are the scrolling destinations on the 683 showing the correct direction? Just I noticed one of the new Solos displaying "Newbrough via Fourstones - Bridge End..."., when surely it should be displaying Fourstones first on the way back towards Hexham?

I know I didn't dare touch the via points on the Tynedale Links network of services, given that I have no knowledge of the area, so it must have been like that for quite some time!

Will look into it next week. Wink

Today was the first day of the Hadrian's Wall service AD122, presumably 636 was not prepared in time, so 670 covered.

Seen at Housesteads this morning, was Go North East's 'Tyndale Links' branded Optare Solo SR M925 / Optare, 670 (NK16 BXM) whilst operating AD122.

Newbrough is the distant turning point from Hexham for the 683, so it has to pass through Fourstones on the outward journey (and on the return).

Where is Bridge End?

The one in Hexham is either on the north side of the Tyne - unless it refers to Whetstone Bridge by the High School (or Warden).

The 683 route does go via Hexham 'East End' (though only on the return to Hexham) - it does a loop from Hexham Bus Station to the East End back to Hexham Bus Station then heads off towards Newbrough.

683 is the only Hexham "Local" service that doesn't serve ALDI.

Additionally Solo SR 680 is seen here at Percy Main depot this evening.

The bulk of them are getting moved over the weekend from Saltmeadows once they are branded up.

Hanover have to come in on Tuesday to most of them as Optare have got some of the wiring wrong for the next stop announcements.

More than likely as there are a few minibus boards on the 17a. Seems to be a mix of Singles and Minis on it today, spotted freshly repainted MPD 549 and Omnicity 5273 on the 17a/40/41 group of services today. Prob be a clearer picture on Sunday, though evenings likely to retain a mix from what was on the 17/40/41/80 during the day.
