Some revised Sunday allocations come into effect from today.
The Sunday operation of services 35A/X5 will now be allocated "Prince Bishops" branded Streetlites
The Sunday operation of services 28/34 will now be allocated "Coast & Country" branded Streetlites
A similar exercise was recently undertaken at Arriva North East's depot in Stockton, with "Sapphire" branded Streetlites being deployed on all of their services.
(09 Apr 2017, 7:41 am)Dan Some revised Sunday allocations come into effect from today.Surprised riverside aren't using a variety of their streetlites on the 97/11/11as. It's not a strong brand so I would have thought having 49/X66/53/54 streetlites which will just be at the depot all day aren't being used. I also think the short 1 at PM should be a minibus, it never gets busy on a sunday.

From my experience, solos would do on the loops too, but I may be wrong here.

(09 Apr 2017, 9:53 am)South Tyne Lad The Saltwell Park Streetlites at Riverside are some of the older models of the type, Which doesn't feature the Micro Hybrid package that the younger Streetlite's are being used for on Sundays, To claim the BSOG payments that they receive by operating them.Bsog or not, 63 plate over 51 plate? How can it be cheapeer to run the older vehicles.
Additionally, The PVR of most services at Riverside are higher than the number of spare 49 Streetlites spare on a Sunday.

(09 Apr 2017, 10:25 am)Tom Would be no good have minibuses on the 1 - especially on a day like today when lots of people are heading down the coast. Sometimes the Omnicities have standees when it's this sort of weather.Operate it like the 128 so it changes seasonally. I did it in jan and I was the only one on there and back.

If branding is so important, it's odd to have a tourist link for Beamish operates by a totally different branded bus considering the knocking other companies get for odd workings
(08 Apr 2017, 7:21 am)Dan The very same. QR codes are printed on return tickets, day tickets, weekly tickets, etc.

(09 Apr 2017, 3:19 pm)mb134 First, in Aberdeen anyway, seem to have started using these machines as well. Assuming they're being installed today, as they certainly weren't in action on Friday.
Assuming the QR thing is to track usage, but it's surely going to increase boarding times?
