Reminds me of the nice looking kit you get running in Spanish holiday resorts

(02 Sep 2013, 12:39 pm)fozzovmurton A bus described as Sexy that has made me LOL...
I must admit it is a nice looking bus, I like the white destination display on the front.
What exactly is the Citaro K, is it a new variation of the Citaro or is it actually a midi/mini bus whatever there called these days and is it Mercedes equivalent of an MPD or Solo/Versa, I only ask because I have little knowledge of bus manufacturers and the models they produce, if you put 10 buses in front of me I wouldn't have a clue what they were, the only buses I could positively recognise with having to look it up or think about is a Optare Solo/Versa a Wright Cadet and a Scania, lol...
Going back to the Sexy description, your right about one thing, it is neat and also reminds me of buses in Spanish Holiday Resorts...
So if it is sexy, is it sexy to the point where if it was a Woman all the boys would want a piece and be a bit of a super model lmao

(02 Sep 2013, 3:52 pm)BJ10VUS The new 'Tynedale Express' brand looks nice. Little bit basic, but much nicer than some recent attempts.It looks quite good, but I wish it had stayed in OK livery and they'd persisted with the OK1 even if it had gone down to hourly, as they hadn't given the Middlesbrough extension long enough - it was certainly doing well each time I used it, with 20 to 30 each trip, more than double the passengers on the following Arriva X66.

(02 Sep 2013, 12:41 pm)Daniel Service #27 unable to serve Hedgeley Road in Hebburn due to an incident.The incident involved a Newcastle bound Crusader branded bus. I was in Black Road, Hebburn at 13.03 yesterday and a Crusader had stopped with the front end in Hedgley Road and the rear in Black Road. 2 Police vans were on site with a PCSO directing traffic on the one available side of Black Road with no access to Hedgley Road. I was driving so I was unable to check what the incident was but the details are now in The Shields Gazette as detailed below:
