Gotta love the air show shuttles. Something that GNE do really well. I remember having a conversation with Peter Huntley on openline a number of years ago about them not accepting BuzzFares, and not more than a couple of days later they decided to. That's what you call customer service.

It was just the X3 that was worthy of note, although that route stopped being useful some time ago.

There's a run timed to reach Newcastle Monday to Friday by 08:10; it's usually empty, and you'd expect there to be at least some business then. If that run can't make money, none of them will tbh.

Changes which are mostly based on customer feedback and also to improve reliability, I must add.

I note that the PVR of the TEN increases with these changes, and I anticipate that 3942 could consequently re-gain "TEN" branding - this time closer to the version carried by the Volvo B9s. This is mere speculation though.

Why don't they just swap 6084 (TEN AND TTX SPARE), 6100 (TEN), 6101 (TEN AND TTX SPARE) and 6116 (TEN) with 3941(Fab56 Spare), 3942(Cobalt Spare), 3963(Cobalt Spare) and 3964(Fab 56 Spare)? Then repaint 6099 into Fab 56 Colours and 6116 into Cobalt Colours?

I've wondered whether or not the purchase of double decks have increased passenger numbers on the Cobalt Clipper. I know that it's still contending with "it's gans down the 'motorway'" crowd but I've noticed that alot more fares are being taken between Rake Lane and Blyth from stops betwen Newcastle and Station Road. The loads are also high between Newcastle and Battle Hill and both sides of Cobalt during peak times.

(25 Jun 2014, 8:37 pm)DaveyBowyer I've wondered whether or not the purchase of double decks have increased passenger numbers on the Cobalt Clipper. I know that it's still contending with "it's gans down the 'motorway'" crowd but I've noticed that alot more fares are being taken between Rake Lane and Blyth from stops betwen Newcastle and Station Road. The loads are also high between Newcastle and Battle Hill and both sides of Cobalt during peak times.

All bus operators expect growth when they invest in new buses - whether it be from a competitor or new customers completely.
I don't use the Cobalt Clipper too frequently, but I'd expect that Go North East's advertising campaigns at the time of the launch of the new vehicles would have egged a few more new passengers on-board too.
