What's allocated to certain routes
What's allocated to certain routes
So a question that's been on my mind for a while now. What is allocated to these routes
306 Newcastle to Whitley Bay
53 Cramlington to North Shields
57A Cramlington to Whitley Bay
57 Ashington to Whitley Bay
X8 Blyth to Newcastle
X7 Blyth to Newcastle
52 Newcastle to Cramlington/Ashington
54 Newcastle to Whitley Bay
Just wondering as I have never seen a set allocation to these routes. I know a while ago the 52/54 were allocated to Volvo B10BLE Alexander ALX300 so was the 53 as well
The 306 had the Max Brand Decker's and VDL but that's all I know

Yea. Its just confusing that Arriva even before all this stuff. Arriva can't seem to allocate buses. It's mad

Or the fact they don't trust the Omnicities to reach Carlisle and therefore kept on local routes like the 2 that were on the 306 the other day.

(22 Mar 2021, 3:36 pm)Andreos1 Railway bridge in Brotton on the current route.
I'm sure there would be ways and means to tweak the route to avoid the bridge though.

Avoids the low bridge, goes under what seems like a high enough bridge, and forms a loop via Coach Road.There's another low bridge in Marske however it's 14"3 so stuff like low height E400s would still be able to get under but not the likes of B9TLs.
Only cuts one stop but would likely add a minute or so to the trip.

Saltburn is 15"6
Marske is 14"3 as Jimmi said but for some reason the bridge doesn't actually have height signs on it, just signs leading up to it. Quite possible it maybe higher and has the height signs to deter trucks going that way, I have been under that bridge on a decker before. Alternatively if the bus is too high they can go via Longbeck.
