Wrong colour but a bus with a destination blind on the 11.24 from Barley Mow is a refreshing change.

Saw it heading around the Eighton Lodge roundabout yesterday - it seemed long!
Is it a long wheelbased Solo?

It is the long (M1020) version of the Solo and does stand out from other Solo's that you normally see due to its long body.

I was at a Community Event in Barley Mow this morning and have heard nothing but absolute praise for Phoenix and the helpfulness and attitude of their drivers. I've encouraged the people I spoke to, to contact Nexus as they were very quick to complain about Compass, credit where credit is due

The driver I get on the 333 if I use it is a very friendly driver! - When you get on you always get a ''Good Afternoon'' or a ''Hi'' and the vehicles are spotless, very clean and comfortable! - Phoenix are one of the best independent companies in the North East, I think!

One of my colleagues has posted on the Nexus forum this afternoon and got a response thanking him for his praise

How do they work the dead mileage to Barley Mow though? Saying that Stanley must run dead for 7 miles from Stanley to Birtley but its incomparable to Phoenix 27 miles out from Blyth to Barley Mow

I'd second that praise about the 333 driver - there's a lot to be said for a regular, and motivated, driver: knows his customers, delivers good service.

Slightly off topic, but they got a mention this morning for some PR stunt being carried out at Nissan today.

Apparently Pheonix have a small fleet of battery powered cars in operation.

Surprised no-one has mentioned this yet, but a new Optare Solo at Phoenix is KX53SCZ

Also, Ashington service A2 and Blyth service B1 will no longer operate after 2nd February.
