(17 Dec 2017, 9:24 pm)Malarkey Personally I wouldn't put the South Tyne Versas on the 28's, they can't even manage the route they are currently on...
In terms of keeping to time, they can manage IF passenger numbers aren't higher than expected, which obviously they are all through the Xmas shopping season. Not helped when nearly all runs have only 1 minute turnaround at Luke's Lane and some only have 6 in Shields.
Reliability does seem quite poor currently though, a few days ago there were 3 Scanias, a Beamish Versa and another unbranded Versa out on the route. From what I've seen there's only meant to be two 'spare' vehicles needed (?)
