(09 Apr 2017, 7:41 am)Dan 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, 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.

Will the New Ticket machines offer Contactless payment?
How long will it take for the whole fleet to have the New Ticket machines installed and operational?
According to Go north east's fleet list 5234/8 have transferred to Stanley, am I right in assuming these are going to be going on the 6/X70s along with the black Omnidekka's under the 'Toon link' brand?

692 and 6134 are at Saltmeadows. Unsure as to why.
(11 Apr 2017, 3:25 pm)BFK This was due to passenger being sick on the seats at the back of the vehicle on the service 9 on route from Jarrow.Every driver's nightmare. Bad enough on local services, but imagine what it is like on long distance when the driver has to clear the mess up him/herself.

What's with 6136 being at Riverside this afternoon? Was in service earlier today...
