(25 Jan 2016, 6:41 am)DanPicken I think Arriva are doing it as this is there territory.
I would say that part of North Tyneside is for Go-Ahead than Arriva. But as Dan said, it depends on the bids, but it could be Arriva or GNE as they would have deckers spare for being the school holidays.
(24 Jan 2016, 9:05 pm)G-CPTN It leaves the bus station as 687 @ 11:35 then ALDI @ 11:40 and runs to Corbridge and back, leaving Corbridge @ 11:53 or thereabouts - depending on the delays on Haugh Lane (due to gas-main renewal).
ETA Hexham bus station 12:10.
It then used to run up to Colwell via Barrasford and Gunnerton (Snaith 882) leaving Hexham as 682 @ 12:10 - but that was 'withdrawn' by GNE as uneconomic.
From Corbridge (instead of the 687) you could catch the TEN (from the Hill Street stop) @ 12:08 - ETA Hexham 12:17.
TENs might run a couple of minutes late due to the closure of Station Road, Corbridge.

(25 Jan 2016, 7:17 am)Dan Doesn't matter whose 'territory' the rail replacement falls under - all interested parties will have to bid for the work and Nexus will award the contract to the most commercially economic bid.

That is the standard font for that blind.

(25 Jan 2016, 5:25 pm)S813 FVK Thought the font wasn't the regular. That route number is fatter for a start!
Would like to try and see it when i'm out and about over that way. Can't really tell how good it is from a photo.

The blind looks way to small for the bus and 49A is tiny it scrolls rather slow as well
(25 Jan 2016, 5:32 pm)Dan It is the same type of display as in the rear of an indiGo branded Optare Solo, if you have seen one of those in the flesh.

(25 Jan 2016, 5:49 pm)Dan The destination had not been re-programmed until noon, when it was removed from service and re-programmed by myself.
Trust me - the 49A is not tiny any more..!
