Many a time those seats are used out of neccesity, rather than choice. 

I tend to only sit at the back of the saloon in the winter, but many a time I regret it once the bus fills up and those seats are taken.
Not enough room for at least two pairs of legs.

I know the next stop is only around the corner so it makes sense - just wondering if the JDS stopping point was dropped at some point but the NSAs never updated?

(11 Mar 2019, 8:49 pm)BFK wrote When the road on John Dobson Street was narrowed to create the cycle lanes the Fab56 stopped using that stop.  Some of the buses next stop annoucements were updated and some not.  Those not due to faults when trying to update them.

This will be rolled out on repaints and new buses going forward. Cobalt route branding will be added to this one later.

Edit:

This is a route branded version (for Cobalts). Corporate colours will remain red and blue, but with similar style stripes to this.

(11 Mar 2019, 9:50 pm)L469 YVK wrote Now with the vinyls applied, that looks strikingly similar to the original 2007 livery used on the Ominicities. Will the black below the lower deck windows be used for route info / taglines?

(11 Mar 2019, 8:50 pm)ne14ne1 wrote Ah okay. 
Hopefully the faulty ones are replaced with the Cobalt's cast offs.

(11 Mar 2019, 10:36 pm)S813 FVK wrote 5243 unusually released back into service without being fitted with taglines. None available, needed back at Washington before having them applied or have they been dropped entirely?

No more repaints into the current fleet livery will be fitted with the taglines.

As already noted above; the corporate livery will be changing too, with all route brands being based off the new fleet livery which uses stripes instead of a swoosh. The new Cobalt gives a good view of how the fleet livery will look.

(12 Mar 2019, 10:34 am)Coppercap40 wrote If it is on the 54 the app does not show any buses on that route only 53, also the 26/27 only show from Newcastle to S Shields but not from S Shields to Newcastle, both have been like that for quite a while, thought they would have corrected both by now
