(17 Dec 2017, 12:17 pm)S813 FVK Unless they are going to increase the layover time at North Shields from the current 3 minutes that the 9 has, they could get away with only increasing the PVR of the 5/50 by 1. Such a small layover wouldn't impact the 50 too much unless it was severely late, as it gets 13 minutes layover at South Shields before heading to Durham (7 in the 50-->5 transition).
Ye i think they might increase the layover, as the 5 is now becoming a longer route, they might also add an extra bus in, just incase, like they have with the 56, not sure if that would work on a route like 5 and 50, with them interworking..
Then you have to the Toonlink Omnicities, which may become available soon, so that may help other depots in fleet standardisation.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
