(17 Apr 2016, 9:41 am)S813 FVK Nothing wrong with that. Infact, it can be argued with being better with the correctly branded vehicle being allocated.
Completely moving topic (relates to the Omnidekkas since this happens to them so much), I hope the Red Kite B9s aren't swapped with an MPD or something similar for scholars nearly as much as the Omnidekkas are, as much as I want them to be. Especially as 5419 may be allocated already on a more regular basis with a higher PVR.
You'll find that the OmniDekkas will be appearing on scholars a lot more now, as a result of the service changes:
- The PM 808 service from Consett Academy to Castleside Church will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 1335 #6 from Newcastle to Stanley)
- The AM 829 service to St Bedes will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 0852 #X70 from Consett to Newcastle)
- The PM 820 service from St Bedes will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 1355 #X71 from Newcastle to Consett, then the 1603 #X70 from Consett to Newcastle)
- The AM 820 service to St Bedes will be operated by a "Northern" branded OmniDekka (same bus which works the 0853 #6 from Stanley to Newcastle).
The red 'spare' OmniCity is now only spare between 11:38 and 15:00, when it is parked up in Stanley Bus Station. It is allocated to a number of daytime boards on service X30 now, as well as scholars service 836 AM and PM.
