3983 was the only one in the past few years - don't forget Ambassador's favourite buses, though! They'll find their way on to it.

Just skirt and rear panel tidy-up having incurred minor accident damage - not a full red repaint.

(02 May 2017, 4:12 pm)Dan The cant rail has been revised to show a similar style as the cant rail on the Durham Diamond Streetlites - it reads:
"Buses run early til late • Into the heart of the city up to every 20 minutes".

The idea is that the cant rails on most branded buses will have a similar style, where possible, for consistency. I believe the Saltwell Park Streetlites will have their cant rails stripped with a new white vinyl added on in the coming weeks.

I can confirm that all of the relevant feature symbols are present and correct!

Are the Red Kite's planned to gain revised route details? I think the 10 minute frequency between Rowlands Gill and Newcastle may be a good focus.

Am I right in thinking I seen a Toonlink today with the new tag lines on? 

Could swear I seen it heading over the bridge at about 5 tonight.
