One of the DD streetlites has been painted, with tag lines as noted above. Couldn't get ID.

(11 Jan 2017, 10:58 am)Michael Go North East have uploaded a picture of the new Durham Durham Streetlites (Can't make it any bigger for some reason), photo is from https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/timesfares/16#timetable)
Brand is the same expect it has the same style side route info as the Prince Bishops.
At least the places served are un the right direction on this one - Sunderland and Durham being the wrong way around is a something that bugs me a little. This isn't me saying that it doesn't do what it is intended to do though

My thoughts exactly...! For me, USB chargers merely hold the charge rather than increase it.
I really hope the bus industry isn't going to start shying away from actual plug sockets.

I've got an S6 too. I always use the USB on the 20/56 etc and mine charges fine

For me, USB chargers merely hold the charge rather than increase it.Really depends on what you are doing whilst charging through the USB's, if you have a fair few energy draining apps running, it barely charges the phone at all but they work okay if you limit the phone activity I've found.

I personally would rather have weak USB's rather than plugs which often don't work on buses.

Durham Diamond doesn't serve Sunderland !?!
What about Services 6 (former Diamond to Newcastle), X30/1, X71/0.being branded under a new service/ brand serving West Durham (Consett/Stanley) with New Buses?
I suggest Northern (Strong brand in this area) & Northern Express or bringing back West Durham Swift/Express, or maybe extend Venture to larger vehicles (especially Consett routes where Venture is established).
Sick of poor quality Decker Cast Offs being used when not required for Scholars!

I was referring to the Prince Bishops examples, apologies for not being clear. I thought I'd included the Prince Bishops name but must have went back to reword my post and forgot to add it back in:

8328 looking extremely smart in the new corporate livery I have to say, done exactly the same as the Solos at Riverside without the Taglines.

One of the two Streetlites with Durham Diamond brandin is out. Departed Durham on the 0740 16A.

Just noticed these two tweets relating to the X10 and issues with the allocated vehicle.

Initially it was vehicle issues which caused it to run late and then a further issue had meant it isn't departing Boro at all.

I'm surprised rest of the Quaylink are yet to receive WIFI as only 5385 - 5388 have it, obvious reason why though, as they came from "Citylink 58".
