(25 Oct 2013, 4:12 pm)Andreos1 Speaking of which, just spotted a whey aye 50 NIS on Vigo Lane in Birtley. Regulated at Galleries?

Most likely unless it had done the Chester le Street operated 95 in Gateshead, which is 15:40 from MetroCentre then 16:10 out of Gateshead to Lobley Hill, which would possibly fit into the time you seen it on Vigo Lane in Birtley.

(25 Oct 2013, 4:34 pm)Tom Not too long ago, it was discussed the peak time 700's were displaying a ''Bus Full'' destination blind. A photo of this can be seen below.

I think it was a hint to say that no depots will have such a destination in future.

That's an Interesting one then as it could of came through Lambton/Ayton via Washington Hospital and down through Picktree Village which would of been quicker than going through Birtley etc beforehand.

I will, seem's daft that they have...


RE: Go North East - Latest - Andreos1 - 26 Oct 2013

(26 Oct 2013, 9:39 am)Michael I will, seem's daft that they have...

If I remember right it is to do with I being mistaken for a 1 - Mind 0 could easily be confused for a O.
Q is used for de-licenced vehicles (or something along those lines).

No idea about L though... Could have been already registered to a vehicle.

I am sure someone will be able to explain fully.

It just seem's daft to me but if they are used for something else then i'll let me them.. haha

The letters I and Q are excluded from
the three-letter sequence, as are combinations
that may appear offensive (including those in
foreign languages).

So O must have been registered to another vehicle Smile
