I'd love to have a go, but unfortunately us peasants who only have an All Zone ticket can't ride the X9/X10, even between Newcastle and Gateshead!

Two unusually sighted deckers today. 
10 branded B9 being given a lift home by Hogarths - but heading north, passing the Angel? X9/X10 breakdown?

At Herrington Burn, I spotted a 1 branded B5. Test drive from Volvo at Washington perhaps?

How can All Zones not be valid on the X9/X10?, they are in the zones! Does GNE think somehow the X9/X10 operate in outer space? Do they perhaps think people who use these services don't use any other GNE services? Or maybe...they are just a bit stupid? Interesting...

Because GNE don't consider the X9/X10 to be a standard service, it has it's own separate ticket and zone.

They have the special X9/X10 Local tickets which as far as I know are only valid on the X9/X10 and Dalton Park/Peterlee areas and cost the same as the All Zone ticket at £95 a month (or £7 a day, £25 a week), or the have the X9/X10 Plus ticket which is what the 3 Zone+ ticket used to be at £110 a month.

So for those of us that rarely used the X9/X10, we save £15 a month, but they also decided to remove the ability to travel on it between Newcastle and Gateshead, which to be totally honest isn't really an issue due to the amount of buses GNE run between them.

How much marketing budget did GNE have this year? They seem to be having launch events every other day!

(02 Dec 2019, 3:51 pm)streetdeckfan Just noticed that the X21 is no longer referred to as X-Lines on Google Maps, and the colour has now changed to red from blue and gold.
At least it now says that it terminates at Eldon Square rather than Haymarket!

Also, has anyone else having trouble getting on here today?

Parked on vor row at Consett. No sign of it being allocated to the X30 or any other route. No update on the streetdecks either in the last internal briefing. So can’t see them coming before January in all honesty.

Probably, pointless to go all the way back to Deptford/Park Lane for bait as you'll waste too much time of your break, mind I used Shields Interchange layover as easy access to the town.

I'm sure I read a while back that 6337 was supposed to be out before 6336 as it's of the same spec as the new ones (ie. has tables!)
Then again, there's been a few times I've been waiting for 6336 and it's been taken out of service so I wonder if there are mechanical issues with both the 64 plates

Due to go back today I believe.

In other news, 6033 has now left the fleet and is now with A&A Coach Travel with a 51 plate Solar expected to join them soon as well.
