Interworks with the 10/11 I think.

Ive seen the X20 turn into a 10 before, although it just seems to be the same bus.

Thanks, does the 30 still interwork with the 10/11 I know it used to when it was half hourly.

Yes I believe, previously the 10/11 were stand-alone and had large layover periods which is why the buses allocated went back to the Depot for driver changeover.

10/11 interwork with 30.  The X20 is standalone.

for anyone interested 27141 was out and about on 685 today having recently been painted back into corporate sadly couldnt get pic

Following its roll out with the Southern Division, South Shields are the first 'Busways' depot to begin rolling out the 'updated' Destination display set-up - a handful spotted today. One change from the old format is the use of 'South Shields' as the ultimate destination on 17/18 instead of the previous 'Market'

Any idea when stagecoach newcastle will roll this new destination display out?

Mind I seen a Dart on the 8 in Sunderland sporting the new destinations too.

Still a couple of months off, NIS and Night bus routes have the new displays.

Cant wait,i really cant stand that chuncky route number on some of the displays

I seen lots of the time stagecoach zone and dots on other routes like 12 13 39 are zone buses due a repaint is that why these buses start going other on routes12 13 39 14 on teesside

Funnily enough

27168 is the first ‘Zone’ repainted - it’s out on 36/37

Thanks for info mate

27166 is repainted not 27168.

Definitely 27168 - seeing how I was sat on it when I posted that.

27168 in Stockton earlier on 37s - interestingly unlike a number of other recent single decker repaints, this has fleetnames on the sides

Shame they've left one bit of zone branding on it!

Let's just hope the new stuff doesnt have stuff plastered all over the windows again when it turns up.

New stuff?  Someone's optimistic!

Might get some more E400's from Manchester if we are lucky once they start getting their intake of Enviro 400 City's due over the next 3 years.
