(15 Dec 2018, 8:20 am)enviro7501 What are the chances of a Lowlander appearing on the X12?

More likely now as apparently the X12 has one decker board, although you would think this would be a MAX Decker but with Arriva anything shows up.

Whenever I've seen an alx400 on, it's always been late afternoon/early evening. Possibly leaving Newcastle just before or just after 5.
That's not to say it isn't on all day. I've never seen it at any other time.

I saw one on the 15:25 X12 from Durham the other afternoon but the same run yesterday was a Pulsar, so no idea. Think they remain on X12 all day.

Think the MAX Volvo B7TL's tend to get allocated over Lowlander's to keep the MAX specification features, so whilst Lowlander's are possible, MAX spec B7s are more likely.

All services will be operated from Jesmond Depot, with Blyth/Ashington drivers also having to come to Jesmond for buses. All breaks are at Haymarket, with all drivers being volunteers.

Still needs updating - still haven't had the time, although I am updating dribs and drabs of the GNE one at the moment. Once this is up to date I'll move onto ANE/SNE.

(18 Dec 2018, 8:01 pm)jimmoc is the fleet list up to date still or dose it need updating ???

There are so many things that needs updating
-1329-31, 2602/3, 7553-6 and 7628-37 aren't listed.
-1419/80-82 still says it's at Jesmond despite having moved to Belmont and are in process of X12 branding to be applied. 1497 is now at Blyth.
-1574-76 and 1578 still says it's at Belmont despite having moved to Jesmond.
-Some vehicles which have transferred to Yorkshire are still there (7618/19, 7626/27 and some solos).
-All the Volvo B10s are now withdrawn except for 4523 and the training buses.
-All the Max Geminis still say they're at Blyth/Ashington despite having moved to Jesmond (except for 7411 which has yet to transfer), and 7412 is still listed as Under Repair.
-7456 is still says it's at Ashington Reserve but it's now at Belmont.
-7469 is at Blyth, 7474/8 are at Belmont. I think 7475 is at Ashington since it has been sighted on the X21/X22.
-7489 is now a training bus, don't know what it has been renumbered to exactly.
-7609 and 7610 are still listed as MAX buses at Belmont, they're now at Redcar/Whitby with Whitby P&R Livery.
-7623 still listed as Under Repair, but I have seen it in service recently.

And here are some questions I have about the fleet list
-Are 1003 and 4015/22 still there? They could be withdrawn, but just making sure.

And there are many other things which I didn't include. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
