(25 Mar 2016, 7:23 pm)G-CPTN 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.

Bridge End is by the Boat Inn.  Where the road crosses the R South Tyne.

Add 5245 to that also - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ed-public/

Leaving only 5246 to be Repainted out of the Cobalt Connect Omnicities, if it hasn't been done already.

Do you mean the blinds showing Wallsend regardless of what way they are going? The 40 and 41 always show Wallsend for some reason.

But the driver chooses the destination. I know during weekdays and saturdays the 40 is every 15 mins and 41 every 30 through howdon and 15 through battle hill. So every 2nd bus should display hadrian park. On a evening and sunday they just run every 30mins so it should be Wallsend - wallsend.

For example it is

For the 40

40-Wallsend - Wallsend
40- wallsend- hadrian pk
40-wallsend- wallsend
40- wallsend to hadrian

For the 41

41-wallsend- wallsend
41-hadrian pk -wallsend
41- wallsend - wallsend
41 hadrian pk to wallsend.

Sure dan or citaro can comfirm what driver should display etc
