(13 Apr 2018, 10:44 pm)OrangeArrow49 Thank you. That is a lot of 2004 and 2005 buses still in service.

22080 and 22082 are the ones with the green displays aren't they? The orange destinations are much clearer to read. I like all the Stagecoach buses, excluding the Kinetics. I like the Alexander Dennis E200s most though, which are usually allocated to service 6/7, 8 and 32/32A, but sometimes the X47 and X87/X88 have them allocated. I think services 71, 72 and 87 have the E200s actually. The Economic services are different similar ones I think, but E300s, which I also like.
22012 has a green display too with 22036 I think.

Why have the green displays not been replaced with orange displays?
Why, in fact, is there a mix of green and orange displays?
The old Stagecoach buses with the stripe livery had green displays, then we had orange displays and somehow there are some newer buses with green displays than orange, now we are back to orange again.

Thanks for the information.

If anyone is heading down to find 22515, it’s still parked in the depot at present - but as there’s still buses leaving until about half 10 this morning, it’s almost likely to appear given where it is presently parked.

Thanks for the information.

The original batch of 21136-21158 all had their green displays replaced with the orange ones. Then whilst at South Shields depot, as these vehicles were gradually withdrawn their orange displays were removed and put into 22021, 22022, 22049, 22050, 22067, 22068, 22069, 22070 and 22071 whilst those vehicles were also at South Shields.

The Day Rider has been around for years. I can't remember when it was introduced.  

I don't understand the changes. I guess a Newcastle Day Rider is adequate, so Tyne & Wear Day Rider isn't needed anymore. What counts as Newcastle exactly? I am just a little bit confused. 

Yet another fare increase from Stagecoach.

The Tyne and Wear Plus day rider which is being reduced to £4.20 from £5 ks replacing the Tyne and Wear day rider by looks of it. The difference is with the Plus you can travel to Ponteland and Darras Hall, so in effect the rich people living in those areas are getting their fares reduced while the other areas have them increased.

What is the Newcastle Dayrider going to cover?

For example will it still be valid to Wallsend and Silverlink? Only South Shields and Sunderland it won't cover?
