''Coast & Country'' Streetlite 5402 is in Chester-le-Street for Sunderland on the 78, absolutely rammed with cricket fans. Looked like every seat was taken - when I usually board that run, I couldn't count the amount of passengers on one hand.
Just to remind everyone; expect delays on the ''Coast & Country'' services today, due to the amount of congestion around the Emirates Cricket Ground.

Currently on 5403 on a sunderland-bound 8 at CLS south burns and the next stop screen is showing "You are now at Stanley Bus Station."

Good job on the stop announcements on the C&C.

citaro5284 and I will lynch you if you're not careful, Michael... ;-)
The announcements were tested on 5401 before being rolled out - there wasn't any comments to suggest that announcements were incorrect, so they were rolled out across all buses earlier this week. Since, there's been one or two comments relating to the volume being too loud. We are working on a happy medium.
Please be assured we will chase this up to find out what the issue is. We've paid for the technology to be implemented on the buses, so the announcements not working properly quite frankly isn't an option.

Suppose I will have to let you off, then.
Quite like the date/time feature myself. Simple but works a treat!

These Omnideckers aren't bad on the X30 although it rattles a lot when not moving!

Which one was that? I was on 6127 last week and made not a single rattle.

''Red Arrows'' 6053 appears to have been regulated in Eldon Square, with 6007 pulling into the stand directly behind it.

6013 looks to have been dropped in somewhere too.
Saw it NIS at Shiney just before 10.

With the Norham Road / Formica junction works due to start soon, do you think GNE with the exception of a Sunday daytime and a few early morning positoning journeys (i.e 310 to Newcastle then 309 to Blyth) will split the 309 and 310 / X39 so that they no longer inter-work?

6127 also on Cricket duties:

I thought 6125 was a gonner at one point.
Turned a right and its speed combined with a full load, meant it looked like it was going to topple.

The Ten's were being diverted via Scotswood Road this afternoon due to a blockage of some sort in Dunston. It was nice travelling along that corridor in a B9TL.

Would it not have been easier to take the deckers off in exchance for Single Deckers and run the TEN via the brewery (the same way that the 100 goes)?
