Many of the scholars and misc works don’t seem to track anymore, it might be since the app changed.
I was attempting to see what duties Washington have got back since 6905-9 returned, but these buses often only seem to track when they appear on the X1 |

Should make it much easier to tell which one is for Bishop and which one is for Durham. Wonder if they would retrofit them to the existing X-Lines StreetDecks to have them match |

I wonder if the white interior is just the protective plastic, I hope not, it'll certainly brighten the place up. I just hope they keep the vinyl sky! |

They've not long been on the Coasters so I wouldn't expect them to change any time soon |

So I was just talking to someone, and it got me thinking. How does everyone else say the fleet numbers?
I personally find it easier to say the numbers individually, so for 6332 I would say six three three two. Whereas I've heard others say them in twos, so sixty three thirty two Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk |

Just tried to find GNE routes/services to Newcastle Airport, as I thought an All Zone day ticket at £7 would save me using the car + parking etc.., but amazed to see GNE no longer have any services to the Airport. - Surely an Express link from Metro Centre, would be very successful as it would link to most of the GNE network using connecting services, and would be both Fast, Efficient use of possibly only one bus, and avoid City Centre, as transferring to onward services at Metro Centre would suffice.
As it is at the moment, I would need to buy a multi operator ticket, transferring to either Stagecoach or Metro trains in Newcastle etc... Wonder if Martijn Gilbert is aware of, what seems to me, a huge missed opportunity to plug a gap, which I am sure there will be great demand from early morning to late night, servicing passengers on daily return flights. |

But anyway there’s more to GNE than Martijn, if anything I would assume it would start with the commercial department. |
