Following the recent bus fire at Jarrow Bus Station are the Citaros staying in service? Passengers could be concerned there is a serious issue and it could happen again. Not the first Citaro on fire.

(10 Apr 2018, 9:54 am)RBZ 5459 After any fire incident you would expect that if there is an identifiable fault it would be steadily checked on like for like vehicles. My thoughts on hearing of the fire were to do with to the new fan and exhaust mods the Mercs have received. It was noted yesterday that allocations of Mercs was a bit mixed, so whatever the possible cause(s), perhaps they were being checked. You would expect the company to have a vigorous approach to such incidents, especially when stuff like this finds it difficult to avoid the Press.

(10 Apr 2018, 5:43 pm)S830OFT I have it's very modern, the seats are comfy. Some passengers told the driver when they first saw it they thought it was a coach.

(10 Apr 2018, 1:05 pm)Dan I've kept very quiet about this over the past few days, but all I'll say on the matter is that it's pointless enthusiasts speculating on the causes of these fires or pointing fingers at specific departments in the company (which I've seen quite a bit of on Social Media recently). This will achieve nothing - it's probably best left to the professionals to investigate and put measures in place to avoid a repeat occurrence, while being thankful that nobody has been hurt in these incidents to date. A fire incident is treated very seriously, not only by the bus operator, but by the traffic commissioner too.

(11 Apr 2018, 10:19 am)Dan The Next Stop Announcements were enabled on the Tyne Valley Ten and Citylink around a month ago, in line with the service changes which took place last month. They were also changed on the Coaster buses, for the new route around Gateshead, and changed on the Red Arrows/Connections4 buses, to remove traces of simplygo.com and to include new graphics. They were also enabled for the first time on the Tynedale Links 680 and Tynedale Express X84/X85 - the announcements will also work on the X84/X85 if a Volvo B9 is allocated.
A handful of buses, mainly those on the Tyne Valley Ten, would not take the load. These have problematic units which require repair from Hanover.

I got the Coaster 1 to Wallsend today. Good to see it has next stop announcements now. A mix of double and single deck buses on the 1 today. I was on 6065. I was pleased I got a proper Coaster livery bus. It was a nice ride actually. Omnidekkas were on the 11.
I got the Stagecoach 22 back as that is cheaper for me than getting the 1 back. I paid £6.50 in bus fares today.
Is there any reason why the NSAs have started playing up? On 5304 on X85 now and it starts saying the ‘Sit back and relax’ message only for it to cut off after a few seconds then repeat it fully a second time round. 6309 yesterday on the X10 was doing the same
