Currently on a Stagecoach Aberdeen E300, from my short trip so far it seems incredibly powerful, and is rattling a lot less than the Versa I was on yesterday, would love to see Arriva buy some of these in the North East over StreetLites, quite surprised they haven't really, considering the amount of E400's

I can't make it either. I'm going to enjoy painting my bedroom walls on the morning and enjoying watching the paint dry in the afternoon.

I'll probably make an appearance but I can't say I will take an interest in the "celebrity" guest.

I imagine we'll start to see the Pulsars gaining branding in the next week or so prior to the launch.

The new timetable is available on PDF on Arriva's website.

Also on the Live Map they haven't added Long Tens Way (Aycliffe Ind Estate) to the 5/5A route and the Lyons Tetley stop remains on the map but does not show any times now.

Never saw that, cheers. The first page doesn't show journeys to Tow Law that's why I got confused.

Wondering if there is some sort of problem with the Live Map in the last few days as it's showing some of Darlington's services running excessively late, just seen a 7 apparently running 65 minutes late plus a 9 and a 10 both running around 30 minutes late. It was the same story yesterday to. Wondering if it may just be the wrong trips have been selected.

There's nothing as far as I'm aware that would cause delays as bad as these in Darlington right now although I could be wrong.

Can you rephrase that question please?

Here are some likely answers if I know what you mean...
  • Only the short Morpeth to Newcastle X14 runs will be withdrawn, these interworked with services 57A and 33. Jesmond gain replacement X16 and 33.
  • The short X14 runs were never ran with MAX buses.
  • Services X14 and X15 remain unchanged.

Just the app living up to its usual standard of not working the 7 that was supposed to be 65 minutes late was on time as I was on the one behind it

I think buss14 was wondering if 7514 and 4659 will swap over back to their original brandings at the end of the summer timetable. (7514 back to X14, 4659 to X15)
