RE: Go North East - Latest - S813 FVK - 21 Aug 2014
(21 Aug 2014, 4:43 pm)Marcus I've seen a few 21s in CLS have 'Blackett Street' on the blind, not sure if that could have been due to a diversion or something?
The 21s go up Blackett Street when going into Newcastle.

(21 Aug 2014, 4:43 pm)Tom One 21 does terminate at Blackett Street on a night.
There is a late Fri/Sat 21 that terminates at Pilgrim Street, before operating N21, but no trip terminates at Blackett Street, unless it is used if Eldon Square is closed for whatever reason.

No good with road names, at one point I called Front Street 'Main Street' and everybody thought I was new to the area....

Currently roadworks on the road where the Wear Industrial Estate thing is causing massive tailbacks and affecting service M2. This however doesnt affect the 50.

yeah X66 is a separate rota due to the bendy buses being on there thus when X66 pottentially gets new buses then the rota will be all in one as some drivers right now do not know how to drive a bendy
bus its a bit like when the 58 had bendy buses that was on same rota as X66 due to them both having bendy buses at the time but from November 2013 all of this changed to now

The X66 is a stand alone rota as is the EU Rota.

(22 Aug 2014, 5:32 pm)citaro5284 The X66 is a stand alone rota as is the EU Rota.Quite surprised about that with it being such a short shuttle route. What benefits does it offer the company over what I see as the 'less favourable' GB regs?

An enhanced rate of pay, I believe, due to the service being operated by articulated vehicles...

Doubt anybody will want it now but 9120 has just pulled into Stanley for Consett.

Service 50 has been affected by the traffic delays on Picktree Lane in Chester le Street....traffic is being diverted away from Blind Lane due to the works at Northlands Roundabout.
A diversion via Barley Mow and Vigo was abandoned due to more roadworks in that area.
Never have I seen so many roadworks in County Durham at one time.
