Bah humbug!!
24106, 24108 and 24111 have just arrived at Slatyford - leaving only 24112 outstanding.
Is anyone having problems with tracking Stagecoach NE on bus times? Seems like buses have 'paused' up here in Edinburgh
Looks like the Sunderland buses are gaining price boards on side of the buses
Currently on 36972 which has them.
No new ones seem to be out again today!
The Cobalt extension on the 10/11 hasn't been a huge success in terms of passenger numbers, although it's still early days and as more people within South Tyneside become aware of this service it should become well used...
Allocations this afternoon have been:
36478/39720/39701/39707.
39702 was on the board that doesn't serve Cobalt both am & pm.
Also, the 15:55 11 departure from Jarrow runs off the 17/18 - it was 39721 today, but hopefully Dart 35188 can make an appearance later this year.

35188 can’t be used on anything that works 10/11s as it doesn’t meet the engine emissions specification for the Nexus contracted section between Low Simonside and Jarrow.
Long long route feel sorry for driverswho have to do this

It's a nice change of scenery I guess, and beats doing the 3/4/7/8 circulars.

Doesn't mean it's allowed to be on tho, does it?
35188 shouldn't be making anymore appearances on there in the future. *Touch wood..*

Would it not be easier to swap 35188 with one of the 397s at Sunderland to save the hassle?

35188 is in the reserve fleet, so can't really be swapped with a 397xx vehicle that is on fleet on paper. The contractual requirement has been in place for a number of years so would hope that this one off, will remain a one off.
