Central Taxis Gateshead: LN20 OPK. by Guy Park-Royal, on Flickr

entered service today on what looks like the H1, the destination screen isn’t making much sense judging by the route number stuck inside the windscreen.

It's actually day 3 in operation on H1. As you point out there is an issue with the front destination screen which we are waiting for an engineer visit to correct. Nice driver by the way, I nearly waved at you Wink

Does the H1 still pick up around 10 passengers a week or has it improved

I would say it's closer to 100 these days. People have recognised it as a reliable alternative when the 9 has issues

(01 Mar 2020, 12:12 am)park5354 3 new buses arrived on Friday.

LN 20 OPK/OPL/OPM.

They are Mercedes with mellor bodywork, in battleship grey with red roof, and black skirt.

A fourth should arrive on Monday.

They should see service as soon as they have ticket Machines fitted.

Followed MMC200 'OCM' up the A1 today. Presume its for GCT.

Seems to have plenty of speed behind it, but looked as though it was feeling the gusts of wind too!

OCN (there's a long lost link to NE based buses restored) must have been ahead or well behind OCM.
Didn't see it at all.

The same driver had now posted a photo of 8 E200MMCs on various Facebook Groups - sadly the quality means it’s hard to make out the registrations.

GCT up to their old tricks and missing out parts of the route.

Appreciate the 37 doesn't pick up or drop off many at Biddick Woods, but if it's part of the route, then serve it.

Also worth noting that the evening/Sunday service in North Tyneside, awarded to GCT from 23 March, is now being operated by Go North East again under contract to Nexus.
