GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions
(27 Apr 2023, 11:49 am)westy3738 The bendys were in use on the 10B long before the Arriva takeover, that was when this service was High Spen/Rockwood Hill to Newcastle (via Scotswood Road).Was the Q3 a thing back then, as the Q3 is mostly the old X40/40A
Not long after the Arriva switch, the number used for short workings via Scotswood Road into Newcastle was turned into 604, again using bendies on certain journeys.
When the 604 turned into the 11, bendies were again used on peak time AM journeys, however they started on the main road at Low Prudhoe, rather than the interchange . Subsequently the journeys were renumbered 11A, when the main 11 service went to Blackhall Mill, using Citaro bendies.
Once the X66 Streetlites arrived, various journeys were operated on other routes prior to going onto the X66 later in the day, including a 12 (Winlaton to Newcastle), M6 (Lanchester to MetroCentre), even an X30/Q3/Q3 at one point.
