Didn't realise the upper deck back seats on Omnidekkas were different. Plus 6130 has different types of seating moquettes throughout. Also there are 3 Levantes parked up at the front of Riverside. 2 national express the other plain white

About 15% of stanley's omnidekkas seats are the wrong moquettes.

I was confused once about this, but they don't. The only part of the flat-pack assembly of the streetlites not installed!

I automatically thought they did considering they run to Metrocentre and it's a popular service with newish buses plus the 05 plate 100 vehicles have wifi

You cant get the 100 from gateshead. Your options are 49/a or X66. There's no competition or reason to add wifi given how long the average user will be on either of those journeys for, either.

Yeah I know that. Then again the 100 had 3 ALX300s on today. The X66 is normally packed so I prefer to use the Racers but the X66 wasn't full tonight on my journey

I say this about the 6 from whickham. It takes 40 mins to stanley and i do regularly run/walk quicker to stanley. However painful, it's a really successful service, looking over passenger counts and those depot reports. People from lintz and annfield regularly stay on to Newcastle.
I've taken many pointless journeys full route. The 11 and 97 are two I rarely get on. The 97B, however, is different. Really gets your blood pumping at 520am

There is quite a large amount and variety of posts in here, to be fair. It's easy to miss something by skipping over or just not being in the loop for a day or two.
