Correct allocation as it does a 56 duplicate to Wrekenton then drops onto the X66.

(06 Oct 2021, 2:22 pm)Train8261 What did the NSA say by any chance. Did it mention a name
apparently someone claims that the route triggers a new name at 2 stops only. you would have to ride the whole 50 from Durham to Shields and Back.
apparently its called 'The City Coaster'
there probably lying but no proof of it saying or not saying it so far

What’s the situation with A Line doing trips on GNE services?

I’ve been around the region over the last few days and keep seeing the A Line ex-GNE Renown in the afternoon, seems to be generally either on the 27 or on the 10, unless there is more than one?

They cover at least one Riverside duty per day to assist during the current driver shortage, usually around their Nexus contracted services, or after them on an evening.

Maintained specification for the service in the absence of the missing Solo SR though which is the most important thing.

A question, why is there always loads of school deckers parked in Consett Bus Station during the day, even on Saturdays?

Drivers use them as taxis between the Depot and the Bus Station and sit spare in case of breakdowns.
