I have a feeling it may be Peterlee, if only because citaro5284 said they were doing some runs on the 237.

During the bridge work diversions the ALDI 'shuttle' service was somewhat depleted - it is an excellent means of avoiding climbing through Hexham to the bus station carrying shopping.

A very unhealthy sounding MPD 554, Has entered service at Riverside in Debranded NTL green.
Its also on the 88/88A which is pretty unusual for a first day in service at a depot.


Could see Peterlee gaining a MPD, Though id fear it would stray onto different routes than it should.
Though out of Washington and Deptford, Id say Deptford would gain it as most routes around the area are operated by them.

(18 Jul 2016, 4:39 pm)Jimmi wrote Judging by the hours the 168 runs (starts around 07:05 and finishes around 6pm), I'm guessing it will be standalone, unless it will go onto the evening 237 possibly?

There's obviously a reason timetables and fare changes aren't going on the site. Goodness knows what that reason is.
Without bringing up a debate that has already been discussed elsewhere on the forum, it needs sorting asap.

At least I know what will be on the Q3 now, on another note will it retain WiFi?
