(28 May 2015, 8:32 pm)Robert wrote I can see why you said slightly. Can't see any difference myself.

(28 May 2015, 8:34 pm)danpick wrote Think it's because it now has a GNE front bumper instead of Northern.

(28 May 2015, 9:12 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Yes, I saw it on Monday exiting the Haymarket on the 309/310, citaro5284.

(28 May 2015, 9:04 pm)Sidthebusbabe wrote Yes, I think so. It reminded of the Stagecoach 'Homesense' bus, just on a smaller scale

(29 May 2015, 7:12 am)I JGuyParkRoyal wrote Considering the challenges of the 74 route with issues such as narrow roads with passing places, narrow bridge and tight corners around Darras Hall, I don't think its fair to say the driver was clueless. The areas around Matfen and Stamfordham certainly requires a clued up driver

A new blind or an error?

(29 May 2015, 4:35 pm)Dan wrote I thought the terminal point for service 39 was still set as "Doxford Park", and it was the terminal point for service 33 which was set as "Doxford Inter" (as below). I could be wrong though, as I've seen so many destination displays recently!

3982 PJ02 PZH Go North East Northern East Lancs Vyking on the 33 to Doxford International by North East Malarkey, on Flickr

It says "Inter" because "International" does not fit while remaining at that size. Either way, they'll be changed on Sunday for the changes at Deptford. The top line will show "Doxford Park", and the second line will show "International via x, y z", "Shops via x, y, z" etc. All colour route number backgrounds will additionally be removed in favour of plain white Arial route numbers, as per the 56 at present. The via points will match the main calling points given on Go North East's website / service timetable.
