This batch is limited to 50mph, yet the batch on the Southern Counties 700 do 65mph?
Hell, even 7522-8 do 62.
(25 Jul 2017, 5:32 pm)mb134 They aren't limited to 50mph.

(25 Jul 2017, 5:33 pm)omnicity4659 The one I had last night did 50 flat out on the X22. 7544 only does 50 too.
(25 Jul 2017, 5:36 pm)mb134 I had 7541 tonight, checked my speedo app just after Seaton Burn, we got up to 58mph. Seemed like we got up to at least a similar speed on Fisher Lane.

I don't think the 24 would miss an E400, tbh. Not so much for capacity - I'm sure there are particular journeys when it can easily fill one - but because those vehicles are huge and terrifyingly cumbersome on the narrow, windy roads through the villages on the route. With the lack of long, straight, roads, the 24 (and 22) between Durham and Peterlee aren't particularly double deck friendly for all but the sprightliest of passengers, either.
The 7 fills deckers easily (and without passengers risking breaking their necks before they can sit down) at just about any time of day and could probably stand the same 12 minute frequency as the 6, tbh.
7802 is now fully branded for the 308. The route details now feature Blyth - Whitley Bay - Coast Road - Newcastle. At least this has been corrected since 7806 was done as this originally had North Shields which had to be removed.

(27 Jul 2017, 8:56 am)James101 In the last decade or so of Peterlee doing the the 230/242/22 the allocations seemed a bit random. Consecutive workings could be ran by an Olympian then a Metrorider.

(27 Jul 2017, 4:27 pm)Pulsar 7803 is also branded and I think there is more.
