Like most destinations that are programmed, we only find out about them by finding out ourselves, no internal info given.

6127 seen here in its new black base livery.
2320 V1 leave on sundays, after completing the short-short V7 to Tantobie and the previous 2130 leave 6 from Newcastle.

A rather failed light-trails exercise resulted in just this, given the black vehicle in the dense fog. At least there's another Sunday service in order to fail on capturing a light-trail of a vehicle. Hopefully it'll be red, but knowing my luck it's going to be 6126.

Throwback to a short-short Sunday V7 where a certain driver wished for a slightly longer trip to Metrocentre.

Yes, I don't usually criticise brands but this one doesn't particularly excite me. I'll give it a chance though.

I'm not keen on the "Metrocentre Mini", however thinking about it, is a minilink service to the Metrocentre (in some sort).

Catch the Durham Diamond to Durham, Toon Link to the Toon, and Metrocentre Mini to the Metrocentre. It sells some pretty clear messages to the folk of Stanley, in my opinion.

Ex-Plymouth Solos 710 - 714 will be branded for the Metrocentre Mini, which is why they didn't receive branding at Saltmeadows Road prior to entering service.

Thought that idea was binned when they went black. Glad to see it wasn't.

Ironically using the longer Solos the M6/M7/M8.

Probably just a massive coincidence and that I am reading too much into it but.......... The M8 route on the route map displayed on the M6/M7/M8 timetable is coloured light blue.....a bit like 8319.

Noticed timetable for "Ten" 10/10A/10B is repeated when you scroll down with a Green header background with the service changed to "Tyne Valley Ten" No other changes seem apparent and bus branding image is the same as "Ten"
Wonder if this suggests a change in the pipeline!

Yes suggestion is they are due to go green, perhaps they've leaked that one a bit early... 
The full PVR was said to be achieved by the TTX B9s later on.

MetroCentre Mini M6/M7/M8......

Blaydon Racers will, once again, be gannin' along the Scotswood Road, so it's the appropriate route. The buses actually serve Blaydon Bus Station too.


As for MetroCentre Mini, I'm sure it's not lost on people that it's been done before (with Renault S56s and Optare Metroriders), just not in the Stanley area.

Tyne Valley Ten, Durham Diamond, Blaydon Racers etc etc - I'm liking the idea of incorporating Place names into route brands if that's the plan.
