Have just been past Slatyford depot and 22345 is now there parked up at the back. 35192-95, 22072 and 22075 are all now parked down the side of the depot next to 22013 all without ticket machines so have presumably been withdrawn.

I have used it at about that time on Saturday out of Newcastle and it has been quite busy.  At least 20 if not more.  Perhaps busier on a Saturday with shoppers than weekdays?

Was on the Newcastle services map on the Stagecoach site and noticed:

"Sorry, but Megarider, Dayrider, Smartzone and Network One tickets are not valid on service X55".

Yet nothing is on the site about the X55... No info or timetables, thought they would advertise it all the time, like they did with the X24.

"Well, from what I've heard:

13 reduced to Middlesbrough-Salters Lane only - saving of 2 buses
14/34 reduced to half hourly - again saving 2 buses"


So nothing serving Tollesby or Brookfield or Hemlington Hall Road?
I thought that end of the 13 was more viable than the other end? They knocked the Portrack service on the head before and only restarted it when Alrite Travel put a service on.

The Group will be soon making it mandatory for divisions to have at least 55 plate MANs soon, so will be short lived. There are already some ex-Scottish ones done for the Midlands, with the Scottish SF/SP batch looking like ones to be done as pretty much most will be disposal. NE obviously has a batch of 55 plates so further ahead contenders, perhaps the 54s might be allowed. Western just got three 06 plates from Manchester.

What's the point of that when the 03 reg ones are identical?
