(01 Oct 2015, 8:01 pm)S813 FVK On the Toon Link matter: I think it would be logical to assume that it will be Omnicities operating the revised X30/X31/X32 with 5250 and 5253 being repainted black (5254 and 5273 will probably follow). Obviously, 4 won't be enough to cover the PVR so it could be possible that some of the currently branded Omnis will transfer to Stanley.

(01 Oct 2015, 8:28 pm)Tom That's what I don't get at all.
If they were every 20 minutes extending to Consett then the times would be dodgy (like the 38 in Tunstall Bank) in places only the 45 or 46 serves, can't think of any other ways they could do it really.

(01 Oct 2015, 8:31 pm)citaro5284 Could the up to 10 minute frequency between Rowlands Gill and Newcastle include the 47?That's what I was thinking, but I'm a bit confused how that would work seem as the 45/46 currently run a 15 minute combined frequency so I don't know how a 10 minute frequency between Newcastle and Rowlands Gill on the 45/46 and 47 would work unless on the 45/46 there is going to be a 10 minute gap between two journeys then a 20 minute gap between the next journey.

(01 Oct 2015, 8:38 pm)S813 FVK Could do (and probably will now youve mentioned it). However, as it didnt mention the 47, it baffld me a bit.
"i think the ToonLink will look good on a blue background."
Doesn't that sort of miss the point of it being TOONlink?

(01 Oct 2015, 9:02 pm)BusLoverMum which was a bit ridiculous - the move to black was a good one. It would be silly to move away from that so soon.
Unless Mackems have complained that they feel alienated by that particular livery
