(13 Apr 2015, 8:16 pm)Stewy wrote Ah yeah there is that, and I should have thought of that with my bus to town earlier being 1514 on the 5A, and apparently according to the same late leading driver that got the driver to be familiarised were not due 5 were supposed to be getting 6/8 so maybe some more on order?

(13 Apr 2015, 8:22 pm)mb134 wrote Just a thought, but could it be for Sunday's, if the PVR is below 5? (Sorry if it isn't, no clue about most routes south of the Tyne PVR etc wise) 

Alternatively, I know that when a bus if off the road at Ashington, when it's fixed, it may return to service on a more local route first, the 35 for example, could it be a similar thing here?

(13 Apr 2015, 11:16 pm)Stewy wrote But wouldn't it be easier to put all the E400 on the 7 and keep sapphire pulsars as the spare one? Then that was all the Deckers will be used on the routes there for 

(15 Apr 2015, 8:29 pm)Jimmi wrote I continue to stand by my statement in saying the Durham service 64 needs bigger buses, saw a Enviro 200 arrive in Durham from Arnison Centre this afternoon and it was rammed with standees.

Single deckers cannot cope on a 10 minute frequency during term time with the school, New College and other passenger loads. More buses are needed from Framwellgate Moor from around 1515 not at 1630 when almost everyone has gone home.

(15 Apr 2015, 9:06 pm)aureolin wrote I think there was one on today too? One made it on to the 57 yesterday also. Belmont will happily stick anything on the 6, as there was a period not so long go that there was a Solo allocated almost daily. I'd like to think that Sapphire will change their ways, but I'll not hold my breath. 

(15 Apr 2015, 9:10 pm)Jimmi wrote Some 6 workings are double deckers for interworking with school runs I believe.

Although the 6 chucks up any form of single decker, the Darts regularly appeared on there too.

(15 Apr 2015, 9:13 pm)aureolin wrote Aye they are. It's not those I'm bothered about, it's more when you see stuff that shouldn't be on there. Belmont's allocations can tend to be quite shocking anyhow. I see it in action on a daily basis.
