(23 Dec 2015, 9:17 am)buss14 does anyone know if 5151 and 5158 are going to be DDA modified or are they going to be scrapped

No, those vehicles, along with Stanley's 5160, will not be modified and are currently in a reserve role and will need to be withdrawn by 1st January 2016.

(23 Dec 2015, 9:13 am)S813 FVK Noticed a small typo that may want correcting on the 5 timetable:
http://www.simplygo.com/download/publication/54610.14

When it says 'For other buses between South Shields, Whitleas Way and Jarrow Town Centre...' it says service 26 instead of 27.

It's actually not been updated for a very long time by the looks of it, as the 26 used to run to Jarrow a couple of years ago. Plus, the 27 doesn't serve York Avenue. Either way, it needs changing!

(23 Dec 2015, 11:40 am)GX03 SVC Sorry if its already been reported but 563 has been debranded according to a photo on Steven Hodgson's Facebook timeline.

It has only been done recently, as the NHS contract finished a few weeks ago.

It's now a spare bus and will be used on various contracts in the future similar to 542 and 547.

In other news, 8270 has now entered service at Washington and is on service 82 today.

Since that is what it will be used for now, can it not come to Stanley and replace 547 since the Tesco contract looks as if it is going to be in the hands of GNE for a while? If not now, once these new solos arrive, i'm almost certain one MPD (hopefully 618/619) will come to Stanley to relieve 547.

563 would suit Tesco logos on it.

When it says 'For other buses between South Shields, Whitleas Way and Jarrow Town Centre...' (York Avenue in this instance) it says service 26 instead of 27.

It looks like the error in the 5 timetable occurred when service 9 replaced service 26. Service 26 should have been deleted when the short 9 was started but it is still showing.
Therefore older versions of the timetable would have shown 9, 26, 88 & 88A serving York Avenue and the current version should refer to 9, 88 & 88A.
