But the B9s still have them RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Kuyoyo - 01 Jun 2019 (01 Jun 2019, 10:36 am)JP6004 That doesn’t matter - the X9/X10 are registered in two parts. Therefore, leaving Newcastle buses should be showing either ‘Peterlee then Middlesbrough’ or ‘Dalton Park then Middlesbrough’ and change to ‘Middlesbrough’ at either Peterlee or Dalton Park. And likewise on the return trip.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Kuyoyo - 01 Jun 2019 (01 Jun 2019, 12:04 pm)Andreos1 X9/X10 isn’t on Tachographs anymore anyway - when they split the registration, that removed the need for tachograph. Which opened up a wider range of vehicles that can be used on the route, as appose to vehicles with tachographs. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Citaro5338 - 01 Jun 2019 Can anyone tell me why 9077 is entering service late. Should have entered on Friday RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - JM03 - 01 Jun 2019 5441 back out today in Corp. On 6A tonight RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Jamie M - 02 Jun 2019 (01 Jun 2019, 12:04 pm)Andreos1 Solars and omnidekkas are analogue. Omnicities, B9s, B5s and mercs are digital. Nobody's quite sure where or what the tacho situation is with the streetlites. Nowhere obvious! There's also the age consideration too, drivers must be 21 to use tachographs. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - big mac - 02 Jun 2019 What is the actual exact rule as to which routes are required to use tachographs? For example how come the x21 isn't registered as two routes when the journey time is longer than the x9/x10? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - citaro5284 - 02 Jun 2019 (02 Jun 2019, 9:57 am)big mac If the route is over 50kms (around 31 mile) end to end, then a tachograph needs to be used. As with X9/X10 and many other operators, splitting the route into 2 (or more in the case of some routes), brings the mileage down, so a tachograph is not required. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - streetdeckfan - 02 Jun 2019 (02 Jun 2019, 10:13 am)citaro5284I'm surprised that loophole hasn't been closed RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Jamie M - 02 Jun 2019 (02 Jun 2019, 10:15 am)streetdeckfan I'm surprised that loophole hasn't been closed There's national examples, but arriva demonstrated in the past you can have different route numbers and maintain a service. The only real way to close the loophole is to set restrictions on through-services so that everybody would have to get off and back on to continue. But that just seems a waste of time. I wouldn't imagine local authorities want to clamp down on it either, they provide useful connections to further places. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - citaro5284 - 02 Jun 2019 (02 Jun 2019, 10:18 am)Jamie M Looking at the TImetable, I think the X74 from Glasgow to Dumfries is split 3 times with a note at the bottom of the timetable saying - To comply with Department of Transport guidance, this service connects at Moffat, Abington and Lesmahagow.
