That's shit for the 50's, nothing worse having a bus every 30 mins
Update: X1s were running in 2s in both directions, and left the bus station together. One of the two 50s that turned up towards Durham was 'regulated'. I can only imagine that this was the intended 17.38 service from Durham.

For a company that is so against 'regulation', they don't half do it a lot Wink and yes I do understand why before someone points it out.
Highwayman Scania 5228 has had the front destination sorted to show coloured service number. Seems to be greener that 4932/3/47/8/9, but may be just cleaner glass.

And also asked for them to take a look at 3973's as well Big Grin

According to my fb feed, there had been a big crash at Concord outside the doctors.
Doesn't explain the x1 like

4938 had destination crammed into centre this morning after it had been done, so JJ had to do a quick reset back to full plain orange to get the bus out.

X1 was most likely running late due to the School Run and Traffic etc

Flip dot on side, not sure of rear.

hahaha is it, it's a viable excuse though for the X1 before 9am and after 3pm
There's roadworks outside Cardinal Hume School at the minute, meaning that there are constant lengthy tailbacks in either direction. This is affecting the X1, 56, 28, 68 and X25 quite badly.

I think as park5354 said, it has a flip dot on the side, but I think the rear is an LED display.
DAFs 4822/24/63/67 and SPD 8218 have all been sold to the scrapman.

God Speed Dear DAF's (thats if you don't overheat on the way to the scrapyard)
"Fab56" Solar 4934 has arrived at Saltmeadows Road depot prior to its repaint next week into "Northern" livery. Once 4934 has been repainted, it will be exchanged for "Drifter" Versa 8302, which, as we have already established, will be repainted into "Lambton Worm" livery.
The DAF,s and 8218 were seen stored at Hexham last month
