(02 Jan 2015, 2:07 pm)Malarkey On the X88 to The MetroCentre, and the Driver has decided to go through Springwell via Wrekenton has just turned Right heading towards Q.E. Hospital.Looks like he is taking the X1 Route to Gateshead and will head along Askew Road, but I could be wrong.
(02 Jan 2015, 2:07 pm)Drifter60 Well I've got a family friend who's a hairdresser in North Sunderland, somewhere on Newcastle Road. She's at work today. Unsure why others aren't! A lot of people are back today, as it a normal day.Just gone past mine again and it isn't, so there must be more than the two I know of!

The future of the QuayLink bus service has been secured thanks to Go North East, the region’s largest bus company.

Just come across a McDonald's voucher on the back of my 6057 ticket, looks like Go North East are re-introducing these on tickets again. Haven't had one in a while.
(02 Jan 2015, 11:25 am)Dan I'm don't know the reason, but it's a normal working day for office-based Go North East employees, so I'm unsure why it isn't for the buses...
In my area there are quite a few local businesses - hair dressers, chip shops, nail bars etc. I was going to get my hair cut today ahead of the new school term, but I discovered about 10 minutes ago that none of these local businesses are open today. Can only assume that it'll be the case in other areas too, and hence a lower demand for the early morning journeys which are provided on Monday - Friday and not Saturdays..?

(02 Jan 2015, 5:19 pm)tyresmoke Oh dear more #purplesolars !
On the upside of 4945 being repainted may mean less #missingpurplesolars on the 20/20A over the next few weeks.

(02 Jan 2015, 5:33 pm)Dan 4945 wouldn't have had to step in today - a full "Prince Bishops" branded allocation on 20/20A and I am not aware of any replacements having taken place.
You're going to look at it being incredibly rare to ever have a full branded allocation on the road from January 25th though - covering a PVR of 20 with no branded spares...

(02 Jan 2015, 5:37 pm)Jimmi Good to hear that there was a full PB allocation today.
Yeah it will probably see more red spares appearing but the long journey may make it less noticeable than it is now.
