(12 May 2017, 3:21 pm)LiamD55 Fair to say the E300s brought in for the 100 have been fated . What is the PVR for the 100 now is it 4 ? Suprised Slatyford havent allocated 4 MMC200 to the 100 for the time being

(12 May 2017, 4:14 pm)Dans_bus_photos But then what would you allocate to the 30/31/36 in their place? Surely the 100 can justify new buses by now- during the day they are always busy. Would be nice to see an addition to this years orders as I cant see the remaining E300s lasting for a few more years.

(12 May 2017, 5:54 pm)Mark1 Is there a particular reason why the X55 stops at Testos Roundabout when the more local services X24 and X34 don't.
(12 May 2017, 2:30 pm)RBZ 5459 Yeah that's the one. It's in a bad way and probably won't see service again after it's released from being compounded.

(12 May 2017, 7:21 pm)South Tyne Lad Both the X24/34 do stop at Testo's, But no one alights/boards there due it being near nothing, Apart from the Enterprise Car Rental Centre.

(12 May 2017, 9:31 pm)James101 I believe it's to do with concesionary passes. To separate 'local' and 'national' bus travel, passes are valid only on services which stop at least every 15 miles. By registering Testo's as a stop the X55 comes under this definition of 'local'.
It's the same reason why Transdev's Cityzap has a registered stop at an obscure Little Chef on the A64 and why Stagecoach Cumbria's X8, Catch 22's Red Rocket and Preston Bus's 830 all do/did not accept passes.

(13 May 2017, 1:12 pm)James101 That's a similar situation but they've chose to break the route at Dalton Park to avoid the use of tachos. From a legal perspective there's two separate X55s - one from Stockton to Dalton Park and one from Dalton Park to Newcastle. Doesn't make a difference from a passenger point of view other than a disclaimer in the timetable and the destination will probably read something along the lines of 'Dalton Park for Newcastle'.
It shows the pointless bureaucracy and need for reform of driving regulations if they can be so easily side-stepped, but I guess there's more pressing matters.
