An 02 plate decker went past me earlier. I heard it before seeing it. Talk about noise pollution. I believe it was 39** but not 100%

(11 Jul 2016, 11:00 am)palatine3833 I've always found it amusing that the Geminis only mention 'the fast and frequent link between Newcastle and North Shields', not if it's on the 309 though Smile

Very true haha

Did the GNE 937 run tonight?
A green B7 is parked up on the hard shoulder of the A1 just north of the services with its hazards on and the driver behind the crash barrier.

Question: Aplogies if this has already been answered. The eclipses had the GNE Corp livery applied with the skyline moquette. Has this now been dropped from the livery?

Only one had it applied I believe, Only recorded 4978 having it when they were on the 5.
It adds a bit change to the Plain Red and id like to see it on all Generic vehicles.

I hope South Tyneside bus network gets improvments like in Stanley & North Tyneside.

Hope we get Metrocentre Link or for Stagecoach to extend from Jarrow upto Heworth.

Just thought I'd point out that the 28B has both 'Chester-le-Street' and the 'Via' points scrolling.

It isn't set to do this in the programme.

Chances are whichever bus you saw this happening on is set to the wrong profile, which means that the display will be trying to load the data for a different size of display, hence the scrolling.

(13 Jul 2016, 10:38 am)Jamie M Saw a garish Brighton and Hove omnidekka go up A692 then up to Stanley.

Of the five Scania OmniDekkas delivered on Sunday, 6138 (GX03 SVG) and 6140 (YN04 GJJ) should be repainted prior to entering service, but 6136 (GX03 SUA), 6137 (GX03 SVF) and 6139 (GX03 SVJ) are likely to enter service at Stanley in Brighton & Hove livery, following initial inspection at the depot.

This is due to the requirement for additional double-deckers in the fleet over Airshow weekend, when Go North East is also operating a Metro Replacement service as well as a shuttle service at Port of Tyne.

Does anyone know where to obtain the paper format bus timetables for the hexham network area. The bus station used to have a stand inside a shelter but no longer. The library and tourist info dont have any either
