Do Gateshead CT issue proper tickets? Is it worth buying a Day Rover off one of their buses or is it going to be too much hassle using it on other operators services if it's handwritten.

Yeah they do. They have the same ticket machines as Go North East without the QR code scanner.

On that topic, I have noticed a massive improvement with GCT. Always get a ticket when travelling (prior some of the drivers did not issue tickets for single journeys), very reliable too. Good to see improvements being made, and the new Bluebirds have USBs which is a bonus.

No idea if it's still out, but an orange President was out on the 37 this morning.

I think they may be having some problems with the Bluebirds, as I have not seen one on the 335 for a bit. A streetlite was on the 335 on Saturday, so it would make sense.

No problems with the Bluebirds just taking advantage of the school holidays to work on vehicles while the PVR is reduced.

The streetlights destination wasnt working when it was on 335 today. It had paper in front window with 335 on. Then on the 18 was the same. Not good for a 67 plate bus
