Could be 4935/61/3

The 88 transferred to Riverside on Saturday Night along with 4935 and the Versas, Hence why I'm asking what Scania is on today.

4961 and 4963 are still at Washington

4935 is allocated to the running board which is scheduled to be a Scania L94 - departures from South Shields as follows:
  • 1028 #88A
  • 1234 #88
  • 1458 #88A
  • 1725 #88
4964 and 8328 have also been allocated today, as Riverside are still awaiting 8295 and 8297 from Washington.
Why aren't these allocations ever public until they've been released by contributors or yourself?

I'm not sure what you mean?

How would Go North East communicate service allocations to enthusiasts, and perhaps more importantly, who would do this? I think the setup we have on the forum is quite nice - those with access to inside information answering questions within reason, as it keeps a nice relationship between enthusiasts and the company.
Thanks.
been wondering for a while now, at sunniside front street how there was a 97 520am run, whereas no timetable for the 97 actually states it stops there.
Here's the board: http://liners.nexus.org.uk/21011.pdf

Read timetable small print. Oops.

On the current 97 timetable it does say that journey starts from Sunniside.

D - This journey starts from Sunniside Front Street at 0520, and continues to Newcastle Central Station arriving at 0545.
Yeah I just noticed as you were posting. It never made any sense to me, but I guess it's an early link to station/town for sunniside.

Yeah, wasn't refering as wide as that, more just thinking hypothetically. Simple example being, if I knew say an X71 was consett bound at peak time with a solo, there's no chance of me getting a seat, so I could take an alternative service to not end up standing for 40 minutes. I guess there are also downsides to this
My ears are hurting after 5209 passed me. It is however making everyone stop and look at the fast cats branding!
6007 is now in the new Redarrows livery.

I saw that earlier, but forgot to post it.
Wonder what the next route will get WIFI fitted? (Not including the Streetlites for the 20/20A)

Having said that (thanks for supporting my very small 'campaign') I reckon the Blaydon Racers with it's buses due a mid life refurbishment
