(06 Oct 2018, 10:14 am)Dan Yes, it should have already been withdrawn, so days most certainly numbered.
The end of the seasonal AD122 service ought to have led to the transfer of 635 to Washington to act as staff transport for the Metro Replacement contract. It wasn't ready for transfer (until yesterday), which is why 723 temporarily transferred instead. 635 is now at Washington, so 723 is back at Hexham as a result.
636 remains at Hexham to provide an extra vehicle while there are roadworks etc on routes operated by Hexham.

Why you have (probably) already bought your last car:

Interesting article. I wonder what effect in terms of the future threat to Bus companies like Go North East etc... If literally true, I see bus companies investing in this technology as their current business model will be decimated. Thoughts...?! Bus Manufacturers would also need to transform, or they will end up like the horse carriages manufacturers referred to in article.

(10 Oct 2018, 5:14 pm)Andreos1 It seems a number of operators are introducing on demand/app based services.There's also the experience on the road. I feel many will like their own vehicle which they can drive themselves. I still think autonomous cars and mass transport with autonomous vehicles will fall and drivable vehicles will remain to be the preference for the foreseeable future.
They've appeared in a a few areas across the country.
I do think it appeals to a certain demographic though. Just as uber does.
Can't see it taking off just yet. The nexus backed Dial-a-ride type services didn't really do much and they were targeted at the older generation.

Are GNR operating a shuttle bus around Bournmoor?
Haven't long seen a white Solo with the interior lights on, what appeared to be a passenger and 'shuttle bus' on the blinds (looked naff on the rear display mind).
Wasn't tracking, so didn't see where else it got to.
However, it did remind me of seeing a 701D tracking through Fencehouses and past Rainton Meadows.
I lost it when I boarded my bus.
