(18 Jan 2016, 5:56 pm)Dan We've discussed this one before - had a quick rake around but can't find the post. Think Michael brought it up originally?
It happens on all of the 09-plate series Optare Versas (and possibly the 10-plate ones too?) It only happens every now and again - it sounds similar to the bell-push sound, but doesn't actually mean that the bell has been pushed. If I remember rightly, someone explained what it was...

(18 Jan 2016, 6:09 pm)Jimmi It seems to be quite common with Optare products in my experience, can often hear them on Solos, wasn't fun the day I got the Scarlet Band 33 from Ferryhill to Sedgefield and the noise was made and had to convince the driver that I hadn't pressed the bell and I didn't want to get off in Mainsforth! :s
Think it's some sort of warning noise or something like that?

Can I ask why the 434 destinations have "Bedlington" on the side and rear instead of "Bedlington Station" or "Bedlington Stn"? They're two completely different places, with Bedlington being the town to the west and Bedlington Station being the other part next to the old railway station.
I'm aware that Arriva use "Widdrington" for their services to Widdrington Station, but that's because that area is referred to as "Widdrington", the actual Widdrington is a village to the north. Bedlington Station doesn't get referred to as "Bedlington", and could be misleading.
Got a question. Why is that Olympians are parked up in Stanley and Consett bus stations, yet low-floor vehicles can be clearly seen in the depot? Surely it would be better to have a President or something in case a vehicle breakdown occurs and one has to go into service to keep the service to timetable? All I can really think of is that the drivers like the Olympians, and take them out as a means of commuting from the depot to either bus station, if there is no set vehicle allocation for a staff shuttle?

Noticed a Percy Main Omni parked up with its hazards at the entrance to the TyneTunnel Trading Estate earlier.
Assuming it had been on a 1 and the way it was parked - it looked like it had limped off the main road.
It certainly wasn't the place to park a bus.
