(23 Jan 2017, 7:37 pm)Buses98 this will probably stay on x10 and x11 to allow LJ51 DJD &LJ51 DHZ and 7466 to be put on the 308 also 7472 will probs go on the x10 +x11 when it arrives at ashington

(23 Jan 2017, 8:34 pm)mb134 Failing to see how 7466/85/87 all need to be put onto the 308, when only 7801/2 have gone for refurbishment. You seem to be forgetting that Blyth also have 7425 which is an intended replacement whilst the Hybrids are away. 7439 will likely just be providing further back up, and as such won't 'stay' on any route, it will be used wherever it is needed.

(23 Jan 2017, 9:24 pm)mb134 The Arriva allocation documents say differently. Furthermore, there is no actual need for 7472 to be at Ashington, since the PVR for the 35 has dropped by one.

Many thanks need to catch it before it goes back to Redcar !!!!
Blyth based commanders 1402 and 1403 have finally been repainted into standard livery only just losing the Quorum branding now even though it went from the Gemini's in October 2015.

(26 Jan 2017, 11:42 am)RBZ 5459 Hopefully that finally means binning off their Wayfarer TGX150s for contactless ERGs....
Better than them contactless 'blobs' on the 5/5A that like to fall off....

Contactless would be a disaster using the current ticket machines, they are far too slow as it is.
(26 Jan 2017, 11:49 am)Kuyoyo I think that's the way they are going - the contactless pads connected to the Wayfarer. No sign yet of them falling off on the Streetlites (or 1512)......
The Optare Solos on service 2 between Morpeth and Blyth have been fitted with free customer WiFi for travelling convenience.
