What I mean is Jesmond is now the only depot with brands that are only found in Jesmond and nowhere else (NHS 46, 52, 53 and 553)

The EcoCitys at Darlington carry a different base livery altogether, so I doubt the Arriva logo being used instead of Frequenta will be considered to be the end of the world.
Inconsistencies within the same brands is nothing new. This is just the latest in a long line. Another recent one of course being the addition of USB power sockets to the backs of seats on MAX refurbs. You've practically got Sapphire spec on those buses...
Better than Sapphire spec, in some cases, in terms of charging ability, given that a good proportion of the Co Durham Sapphires have non-working sockets!

I can't say I have used plug sockets on Sapphires, only the TEN and the FAB FIFTY SIX. I may have used them on 7505 and them not work, can't remember

I was briefly reading the posts during a match on Football Manager, misread the first sentence ,and so got a bit confused

Everyone's human
Having no reread the post I can see how it might look confusing

The two companies seem to have similar hit rates with the charging points. Actually, now they have the Castles Express, GNE may have more overall success in that respect, but they lose points for giving my phone jumpy screen issues - had them badly on the castles express and less badly on a cobalt clipper. Never had such a problem on an arriva bus and that's with the same cable, with or without the charging plug.

Couldn't believe my luck when I discovered the charging points on 7536 actually worked!
Same can't be said for 1594 on the X1 this morning!

If the 21 had them it would be a hit. Arriva need 6301-6307 for the Berwick X18s

You should've tried the VDL Gemini that was trialled on the X18 around 4 Years ago, I ridden it from the Haymarket to Haggerston Castle ( 10 Mins before Berwick ) Never again.......

X12's are painful enough on them!

What about the 15 at Stockton? Or the Park & Ride at Whitby?

I can imagine. I don't like them much at all, not as much as I hate pulsars though

What about the sainsbrys bus
I was very tired last night when I made that statement and I accept being naïve

You could have got 7436 on the X12 yesterday!
!406. You'd think they could have taken the advert frame off the side rather than put the branding over the top!i
Anyone know how 1808 is getting on on the X93 ?
7507's front destination has slipped down on a diagonal, so you've kind of got to tilt your head to read it.

It was still on yesterday. on the 0950 start rather than the 0850.
Cling On Corner moved to Durham?

Just on day release
1808 seems to be going well on the X93 so here's hoping a long term deal can be struck...

I'm not there I was in Houghton last spring

I haven't created a flickr account for him yet. Refuse to let him clutter mine up with non-woolly things
Well, frequenta magician couldn't magic away a hail storm!
