Not sure if it's been mentioned, but just noticed Washington seem to have some new destinations (or at least the X1 and 4).
The via points have made a return and the X1 has 'Express Service' on a repeat and the 4 seems to just show that it goes via the Galleries now.

Service 5 has via Boldon & Jarrow
Service 50 has via Boldon & Washington then switches to Chester-le-Street

Or you could get just a red and get off last stop on North Hylton Road by Ferry boat lane and walk over the bridge and get on the opposite side going back. Only a short walk

(28 May 2019, 8:24 pm)Michael Thanks, we have to get the bus, its for a trip at work with the kids so we need to get close as we can so no walking over the bridge.
The footbridge is closed due to works at the moment. A natural diversion is in place but it is longer. Its making my cycle commute longer!

(28 May 2019, 3:00 pm)Rapidsnap I've been told off a driver the following...
The DFDS is not getting new buses.
Also there 3 open toppers expected from EYMS for the Toon Tour which is to be operated from Percy Main.

Family tickets might be cheaper, depending on the age of the kids.

(29 May 2019, 8:03 am)RBZ 5459 Suspect it will be them three that will be painted in the Toon Tour livery - keeping 6000 in corporate colours perhaps?
Be interesting where they'll slot in fleetnumber wise in relation to 6000 too.
Numbers 3997 / 3998 / 3999 are unused.

(29 May 2019, 2:47 pm)Dan There's just two further open-tops to come north - 6000 is the spare, the other two (for a PVR of 2) will be branded.
Bit of a pity that 6000 was numbered in the way it has been, with hindsight, now that it isn't going to be the only one of its type.
5998 & 5999?

I thought they'd stopped painting the front panel a different colour!

(30 May 2019, 3:02 pm)V514DFT Could re-use numbers,like 3993,3994,dont forget the original numbers for 3995,3996 were originally 61**,so they could easily re-number 6000
Might not necessarily be as easy as that.
3995/6 never actually saw use as 6134/5. As 6000 has, it might be stuck with that number now.

Plenty of vehicles have been renumbered in the past....
6008 - 6042 were originally numbered 91xx when they first came.
8186 - 8200 were renumbered to 486 - 500.
Dart 8000 (H802OPT) was originally numbered 4755.
Many ex OK Travel Vehicles carried 3 different numbers with GNE.
