Maybe Chester le Street should duplicate that journey then, as presumably it's busy with the free pass brigade. Would be cheaper than increasing the frequency of the entire service.

It doesn't need duplicating... you never have more than 10 standing when leaving Chester which is more than acceptable

CLS already duplicate thejourney at that point with 8 angels an hour. It only takes a few minutes longer and as jimmi said, it takes no longer when everyone is holding out for the "express"

Hopefully if the X21 gets an upgrade anytime soon, the replacement buses will have a higher seating capacity than the 60 odd that the Presidents can seat.

Just had a quick count and to be honest I did not think we had this many, but we have 172 vehicles currently fitted with wifi, so coming up to a third of the fleet.

Do you think all services, such as the X66, which it could be argued do not justify the provision of WiFi, be fitted with WiFi, in order to "standardise" the fleet? Or is it just going to be select services which justify the investment?

Probably the latter. It's quite an expensive investment, so I imagine it really has to be justified in order to invest in it.

Given that you're supposedly 11 years old; I find your opinion hard to take seriously, given that at that age you will have had no experience of alcohol (Strongbow) or banking (Natwest). Either way; it's revenue for Go North East as it is advertising a product/service.

Well, I am 11, and based on my age, I know NatWest because I have a savings account with them which my parents put money into. I personally do not think alcohol should be advertised on a bus.

Its a iffy subject on what should be advertised and what shouldn't.  


Take Wonga for example on the Newcastle shirts... a lot of people aren't happy as they class the company as a con and a rip off, who make peoples debts spiral out of control even more. 


Gambling sponsors on shirts is another example.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
