(19 May 2016, 4:17 pm)Andreos1 Speaking of Emmanuel College, I followed and passed a Vyking tonight on scholars duties.
Absolutely rammed, with what looked like all seats taken and standees.

(19 May 2016, 9:43 pm)L469 YVK This is the exact reason why I suggested for the Red Arrows to get an upgrade last year so that minus 7 for the Pronto, then Riverside would've ended up with the following:

- 6049 (T), 6050, 6051 plus 1x B7 based at Hexham and 3x based at Riverside.

This would've then meant that up to 3x non TTX branded tachographed vehicles being on that route at any one point.

Example:

TTX VOR1 = 6049 (T)
TTX VOR2 = 6084 (T) corporate livery but primarily for the TEN; with 6050 taking 6084's place on the TEN
TTX VOR 3 = 6071 (T) repainted into corporate livery but primarily for the TEN; with 6051 taking 6071's place on the TEN

The three last resort vehicles at Riverside after this would've consisted off 3941 or 42 (one based at Hexham), 3963 and 3964 after all of the 3x tachographed B9s have been deployed.

I am wishing to travel on the X9 or X10 to Middlesbrough and back from Newcastle on Saturday and was wondering if anybody knows the most cost effective return ticket of getting there and back and also what to ask for when I get on the bus. Many thanks Chris

(20 May 2016, 9:34 am)Jamie M I'd say Olympians and the darts are lower down the chain than renowns. The renowns have been on 45/46/16/X30/X31/X70/X71/6/V8 in recent times so I wouldn't say it's more likely to come up on the northern's route.

(20 May 2016, 9:20 am)BusLoverMum How are you travelling to the bus station to start your journey?

(20 May 2016, 9:44 am)twmetro4027 I'm thinking of starting from Northumberland Park metro and get the 19 down to Cobalt business park and then change for the 309 Coblt Clipper to Haymarket and then change there for the x9/ x10 but I'm not sure what ticket to ask for and costs.

(20 May 2016, 9:48 am)Andreos1 If you do and are only paying for the GNE service, it maybe worth getting a 3 zone day ticket.
I have no idea if you can get a return on the X9/10 or how much it would be compared to the 3 zone ticket.
