No prob's, its a normal allocation to see some/all of the E400's on the E's on a Sunday.
I'm surprised at how long it's taking to get these ADL Enviro400s out on the road!

Definitely, hopefully all by start of the school term?

Does anyone have an idea when they'll increase the X34 to every 20 minutes, i think they should trail the X34 on Sundays all year around!

Yes, that's right. Kuyoyo posted the information originally, and we posted a news article about this earlier:

Seems Stagecoach in Sunderland once again have the new style of timetables, they had them ages ago and then they went back to the old style but they've appeared again - example -

Edit: seems the 10/11 service doesn't exist - according to the site Tongue

Should bring out a small booklet with each division timetables in (Sunderland/Newcastle,South Shields,Hartlepool etc...).

the standard paper timetable is just to blah da blah, needs updating!.

Would be too costly. If one service gets time revisions for whatever reason, the whole booklet needs to be printed again. At least with separate timetables only timetables for that service will need replacing rather than the whole lot.

I prefer the Stagecoach timetable leaflets to both the Arriva and Go North East ones - at least the Stagecoach ones lists the route.

Newcastle & Teesside have guides too but haven't seen any for South Shields or Hartlepool - anyone know if they've produced these?

Certainly is a Hartlepool one

I got a Teesside one through the door but never seen them in the bus station!
A couple of Teesside's newest vehicles were involved in an incident in Middlesbrough Bus Station yesterday, with 27164 attempting and failing to squeeze around the nearside of 27166 at the roundabout. 27166 was stationary and sustained the worst of the damage as the offside rear of 27164 collided with the nearside rear of 27166, ripping off one of the panels. 27164 didn't appear to have sustained much/any damage.

New buses aren't having much luck lately.

A couple of minute variations on the 11 ATM, if its a success then times will change and a new registration will be submitted.

Damage can't have been that bad - 27166 was being used as a spare vehicle today

Quite a few done so far, 1 in Hartlepool, 3/4 in South Shields, 6/7/8 in Newcastle are a few I can think of that have been uploaded so far. Paper timetables will not be in this format by the way.
