Did I see 'See It Do It Sunderland' on the side of the HST they have called Spirit of Sunderland?

I see a Scania double deck has now being produced with MMC bodywork.....hopefully GNE might get this as a demo.

Do the X30 and X31 actually interwork? I saw 5241 doing 3 consecutive journeys yesterday morning and all three were on service X30.

I wonder if NE1/Alive after 5 (or whatever it is called these days), decide to get involved?
In a similar vein to the way the radio stations all jumped on the bandwagon.

Just need 'the original' Radio Newcastle livery back!

What services won't be using their correct allocation on Boxing Day?

I think Dan said the 47? 

Some reason the 47 came to my head.

I think service 47 will be operated by Stanley depot, opposed to Riverside.

Yes - Dan said that one of the only services not to use its normal allocation will be the 47 as it will be operated out of Stanley as opposed to Riverside. I think Northern Omnidekkas were said to be operating the service at some point?

Any other 'wrong brand' allocations will merely be double-deck vehicles covering on services which are expected to see high passenger numbers.

During the day, services X30 and X31 do not interwork.

However, on a night, vehicles which have operated service X31 during the day end up operating service X30.
