(10 Nov 2018, 1:41 pm)park5354 5377-84 need repainting. Different shades of orange have been used on touch ups, some had every 10 mins on them, but frequency was reduced to 12 mins, and only the 0 was removed on some or 10 on others leaving a gap in branding, I think only one had 12 applied.I don't think anyone should really be against making vehicles look smart. A year is a long time for a vehicle to look scruffy for. If it was painted green arrows then it would mean one less epare vehicle or having to then brand the euro 4 into corp on top of that... which then means more money on paint.
Really cannot see the point of repainting 4949 from poppy to corporate, since it will be withdrawn in 1 year. Should have been left as poppy and allocated to Green Arrow as replacement for 4944, or repainted as a Green Arrow.

(10 Nov 2018, 1:22 pm)Michael Drifter, Saltwell Park and Connections 4 brands, still look brand new, so i think they'll wait another year before those go in for repaint now.
Venture was also redone last year too.
Only 2 routes which need doing are the FAB 56 and Cobalt Clipper.... Cobalt Clipper would look decent in Black and Silver branding.

We're sorry, but the X5 from Hartlepool at 15:32 is not operating due to a vehicle defect. The service will start on time from Hart Station. For customers in Hartlepool, the following service X5 will be operating on time

Do limited stop services from Gateshead to Eldon Square have a set route or does the driver have the option to go either way (either via John Dobson Street or Blackett Street)
Also the same for non stop services from Newcastle to Metrocentre, are they free to go either via Askew Road West and Team Street or via Derwentwater Road and Clockmill Road, or do some routes officially go one way and some the other?
(11 Nov 2018, 10:44 am)Dan Of the two, 6167 is closer. Think it was being re-trimmed on Friday.One of them had no seats at all. Just the skeleton casing.

I already pay to park at work thank you...... almost £20 per week!
If there was a direct bus to where I work I may consider change my mode of transport but it at least 2 buses for me.... and the cost of the 3 mile journey 380 each way ( single tickets)!!!

5482 has now been repainted and that the 7 Ex BlueStar Citaros done
(12 Nov 2018, 8:13 pm)Andreos1 I knicked this off the article.
I wonder what sort of statistical evidence exists to show how a decrease in bus fares can increase patronage?
Then couple it up with the direct buses you mention...

(13 Nov 2018, 9:40 am)Rob44 to be fare you cant have a direct bus to everywhere.... but the price of using the bus has risen dramatically in my view When you are trying to get people to leave the car there needs to be a major compensation for have to wait in the cold for the bus, get on and find its full of out of control kids then when you get off you find your connecting bus has just left. For me me that would be no more and 3 quid per day, ideally less tbh!
