That took a while!

4644 and 4650 have had there MAX branding adjusted ready for the X67

They have had the line of the X67 put on to the map on the engine bay

7491 7492 been seen on 45s so I guess that means 7445 7446 moved to ashington

4075 wasn't listed in the last UEC fleetbook was it? Although the vehicles are arranged so strangely its hard to be certain! Wish he'd put them in numerical order with codes instead of how he separates every different variation.

4655 is the first X66 branded example to have its branding amended to X66/X67

Am I correct in thinking that now the 6 has become Sapphire that only Jesmond and Whitby have route brands that are not Eco, Max or Sapphire?

All should be done by tonight 4656 is another example to be done

Whitby run the X93 which is Max.

And part of the X4/4 which is Sapphire.

I misread this and now think we're looking for non max/sapphire/eco brands. I guess that means maybe Sainsburys at Whitby and NHS at Jesmond. Would that also include Frequenta at Darlington?

1416 is going to get branded this evening. Generically so I'm told.

About time only had it how many months?

4656 now with new X67/X67 branding.

I meant including those, just some branded services that are NOT MAX, Sapphire or Eco, these depots still operate these, you have misinterperated

You are correct, that is what I meant, did not think of Frequenta

Wouldn't mind betting it's going on holiday!

Holiday?

To Stockton until you get 1404/5 back from refurbishment?

Reported on page 22 iirc

7492 was taken down then 7446 was brought up. 7446 was on the 35 today, sadly a wheelchair was on board so I couldn't sample it with my mam.

1494 has transferred from Stockton to Blyth, in exchange for 1502.

Just a short term loan until our MAX Pulsars are ready.
Hopefully not too long so Blyth can't ruin 1494...
1502 seen on Boathouse Lane this afternoon about half an hour ago

1492 is in the process of being swapped with 1504 right now so we'll be using both of these on X66/X67 from Monday

It's been done and got to say it looks worse than before all its got branding wise is MAX and three red dots, hopefully it gets fully branded

What do Jesmond do with their darts when solos go on the X16?

(22 Oct 2015, 8:04 pm)NK53 TKT wrote [ -> ]What do Jesmond do with their darts when solos go on the X16?

I think the Solos only go on if a Dart breaks down and there's a couple of Solos spare anyway.

Well darts break easily then

According to Traveline, the X66 also stops at Stand "O" so it looks like it is also going to turn at Maxwells (Tower Street) then along Riverside then back along the High Street.

Maxwells Corner is the name for the traffic lights at the northern end of the High Street where the 6/7/7a/17a turn.

In other news, just spoken to Stockton's depot manager. 1502/4 are due to get 'MAX' logos fitted at some point prior to Monday. They were due to be done this morning but external circumstances have delayed it.
