least theirs only 4 which should be done in the next couple of weeks.
Theirs also all the Citaro's from Cobalt Clipper and their last few Omnicity's.
Anything else?

Does anyone know where 8236 (The ''Key Mobile'' branded one) is likely to be?

By fleet allocation its currently based at Chester.
It hasn't being updated since 23.12.13 but don't think it has moved...if you need it i would hurry, it might only have a couple of weeks left in service,
If the date is correct by i think it was Dan, the Colbalt B9's will be in service on the 12.1.14.
There might be a few in service untill changes happen on the 26.1.14 to.

My best guess would be the 28/28A/34/34A.
Not sure though

I imagine the journey on the x70/71 on a decker, is much more enjoyable than the back of an Omnicity.
Not so sure about the seat by the door at the front of a Citaro mind...
Upstairs at the front on a decker on the X71 is great fun, apart from when the one I was on the other week clattered a tree branch and made such a crack - I thought the world was ending !
Sat downstairs when I was on the X71 the following week !!!

It used to get on the 71 on a regular basis, but haven't seen it for a while (mainly Loylnes these days) nor 8289.

Forgot about the 71. it might make the odd appearance on the 50/50A to.

The Lime every time I've seen it lately. For all of Chester's Darts.

So when X35's usual depart at :00 & :30, at peak times I'm sure they depart at 4:35, 17:10, 17:40 etc. so on these journeys the bus that arrives having worked the X35 to Sunderland can then go back out onto an X35 to Hartlepool as opposed to operating the X36 out to Newcastle. This would then allow an X36 to Newcastle at these times to continue onto Hylton Riverside after reaching Park Lane.
Quite possibly, if the B9's are out on Sunday which hasn't officially been confirmed yet.
If the X35 and the X36 are to interwork, why not just make it a through service:
X35: Newcastle - Gateshead - Heworth - Wardley - Downhill - Southwick - Monkwearmouth - Sunderland City Centre - Doxford International - Houghton-le-Spring - Hetton-le-Hole - Easington Lane - South Hetton - Easington Village - Peterlee - Hordon - Blackhall - Hartlepool

I imagine passengers will be able to do that, just as they can with the LOOP. They just havr to sit on the bus during layover period.

You want to pay the money to fit 9 buses with tachographs plus a few of the red spares as back-up? Unless you did advertise a through connection but have it as a split service to avoid the need for tachographs as per the X7.

I mean like the X7 (I think)
Sunderland 4 H'Pool
You never no, someone might get a shot of a new decker, and a solar together, been a great shot! More chance of winning the Euromillions but you never know.

The layover in Sunderland is just a bit too much to make the X35/X36 a through service
