Service 99 was branded Showstopper and used the Lolynes (after service 9 was sent back to North Shields)/

The 99 doesn't require anything bigger than a MPD, going to be honest and say i don't know how its still running!

It's was full on the airshow 547 was allocated and it was so full 10 got left behind.
So the 99 should remain running as it provides links to the hospital from silksworth.
But I agree normal days require mpds but last year solars and renowns were constantly used but I suppose deptford allocate anything to the 99 in most cases

Only needs a bigger vehicle for the Airshow.

The 99 doesn't interwork with any thing it used to do the school contracts during its lolyne days but now no interworking happens

Ye, the airshow weekend can get busy, only those days require bigger buses.
The 99 has some good links but its a shame it doesn't get the passengers.

From what I see is this
Silksworth people just get the 2 to the hospital
Barnes the 18 picks up the passengers
Palion every one would take the 11 or 18
Casletown people use the 35/36
Downhill people take the 4 or x36
Southwick people take the 18
Seaburn the economic services compete against this
I agree there but the 1519 from seaburn on school days is always jam packed that's why last year renowns namely 4842 were allocated

99 was simply started out by Redby then Go North East took the contract along with some vehicles its a pointless service in my opinion nobody uses it any more if anything it would probs be withdrawn i do not know how it is still running after last time it was changed it only carries fresh air a driver and a few passengers the only time it does get packed it Airshow Weekend and it is hardly ever used if that during the rest of the year and in-between days

Downhill only have the x36 and the 35 down the road if the 99 is took away the x36 should be increased in frequency.
On a another note 8319 blind needs repairing

Do you see every part of every journey like? If the service wasn't providing positive figures, it would have been long withdrawn by now. The service is actually a vital lifeline to people in the North Sunderland estates linking them to Sunderland Royal Hospital.

For the ad122 since 559 has moved or will move to deptford it leaves 558 to be allocated to the ad122
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2016 - G-CPTN - 25 Feb 2016
The AD122 Hadrian's Wall Country Bus returns on Friday 25 March, running daily until Sunday 25 September 2016.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2016 - Rapidsnap - 25 Feb 2016
I believe the Nexus Bus Solo SRs from Deptford are going to Hexham for the AD122.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2016 - Coppercap40 - 25 Feb 2016
I heard the same as Gary about the Hadrian's Wall service getting 2 from Deptford

That is correct.
This year, the AD122 will additionally feature Next Stop Announcements. The first bus - 636 - was fitted with TFT monitors and speakers earlier today.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2016 - S813 FVK - 25 Feb 2016
Now that possibly explains why Deptford are gaining 559?

When I see it the bus is usually empty yet some parts of the day it's usually iffy one minute gets passengers next it's quiet as a stone

Will 635/6 being getting repainted or remaining in NexusBus livery then?

Will the buses have a logo for the AD122, like MPD's did last year?
Its good they'll have stop announcements.
I bet the passengers of the 238 will be happy they'll be getting MPD's, heard a few people complain that you can only get one pushchair or wheel chair on at the same.

Yes, they will be repainted and branded.
I would expect more 'extravagant' branding than last year.

Will they go yellow and blue like the new MPD's?
I would hope so, last years was terrible with just the logo.
