I like this one from Stagecoach in Newcastle:

When other operators are cutting services it’s great to see Stagecoach improving Sunday services on the 30, 31 and 100 as well as starting Sunday services on the X78. It is good to see a clear communication on the proposed timetable changes from Stagecoach this is an example for others (who are less open on their changes) to follow.
I look forward to seeing if the Sunday allocations on the X78 will differ from the Monday to Saturday allocations.
I'm given to understand the Sunday x78 will be operationally linked with the x82, so will probably be run with an e200.
"South Shields Shuttle" service
This service will operate normal route between South Shields Town Centre and Pier Head, at which point it will terminate. This service will be unable to serve any bus stops along the Seafront or the bus stops near to New Crown. On Great North Run Day, this service will be operated by a closed-top vehicle.
Not sure if it's been noted yet, but the Great North Run page is now up on Stagecoach's website, on the Newcastle section:

An interesting one to look at though, is South Shields' version of the page:

(25 Aug 2013, 12:35 pm)Daniel Like I said a few days ago, it has only just been released internally to drivers.
Providing nothing has changed, the 36xxx/37xxx Enviro200s will arrive late October, early November and the Enviro300SGs are set to arrive by late November, early December.
The normal Enviro200s will be out in service by the end of the year for definite, but the 300SGs may not be. Ultimately dependent on how long driver familiarisation takes.
. Was it Manchester and Lincoln also getting the same buses? Are they delivered yet?

I was wondering what had happened to 33126 since it's recent visit to the Wheatsheaf workshops. Doesn't look like further service is on the cards!

Also, thought those Designlines had been sold on. What a waste!
looks like the company is doing as well as it's Tyneside based vehicles www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/08/16/4241888/bus-maker-designline-files-for.html
