(23 May 2019, 10:18 pm)BusLoverMum Just occurred to me that I'm hoping that the re-painting of the whey aye five-O's isn't completed to soon, since my big five-O is in October. I at least expect a fleet of appropriately designed buses to come out and celebrate the occasion Big Grin

Is the new service 1A allocated to single deck vehicles only? Just done the new service from Gateshead to Metrocentre and I’ve seen 5201/06/5419 on it

No there’s been hybrids on but the 1A seems to get all the spares allocated, 5231/2 are also on
Also I don’t know what the problem is with the 1A but it is always late, the 11 never had that problem, and neither does the 1.

Might be in future but too much going on to fit them in at the moment.

The westbound 11 was always late by the time it got down Knightside Gardens, at least when I used it. Probably something to do with people double parking on corners along a bus route!

I haven't had a chance to ride the 1A as I've been stuck down in Bishop all week but I can't imagine it being any different

Yes I'd imagine a fair bit of red and blue paint will be used over coming weeks

Does this mean Percy Main getting some streetlites or just on loan from consent?

Was on the x21 this afternoon and the destination display said "Bishop Auckland via Durham". Does the display not say Tindale Crescent even though that's where that journey was terminating?

Thought it was from of the bus related sites I follow but no...... its a person in wallsend complaining about putting a bus with that name north on the tyne ..... they were very surprised the bus still had it windows in! Would hate to think what would happen if a bus called the magpie was sent from percey main to sunderland! LOL
