New NSAs with Emma are great, but my only issue/suggestion...   I wonder if on future NSAs, the recordings could be cropped slightly so there isn't such a delay between "Next stop", and the stop name...

Examples of delay:

548 has already been withdrawn - came off at the start of April... I must have forgotten to update the fleet list to mark its withdrawal. #slacking

I think both 542 and 548 will be sold for scrap and only the newer Transbus MPDs will be sold as runners.

551 was withdrawn in line with the service changes last weekend (the loss of service 99).

(28 May 2016, 5:12 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Will 547 be withdrawn soon as it lacked speed on the 16

Just because a bus doesn't seem fast doesn't mean it is knackered. Another large variable normally on buses is the driver...

Aye. There's some never in a hurry. Even when they're already running late.

Not quite sure how but the Angels are running in 2's at 23.20.

I'm sat on 3962 and it's an absolute disgrace. It stinks, beer cans all over, seats lifted up and it's full to burst.

We're being followed by the last Bishop bound 21 of the night. Which is totally empty but managed to let our late runner do all the work as he hovers behind

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

I wasn't aware the Orbit was around so recently
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.948872...312!8i6656

And isn't that what used to be the coop, behind it?

It's a Citylink, around the corner!

Edit - just realised the orbit is the old 51/52, pre Quaylink, isn't it?

What's with the 100% increase in 74s? The last one gets to hexham at 0042 now. I've only been on it with 3-4 people at any given time. May as well make the 689 every hour while they are at it.

Only runs on Friday and Saturday Nights, I believe its a supported service too though I'm not 100% sue on that.
