- 10 remains the same, PVR remains the same (6 B9TLs).
- 10a increased to every 15 minutes (30 evenings, still 30 on Sundays) but changed to single decks.
- 10b remains the same, PVR would remain the same (4 B9TLs).

This would then form a 7/8 minute frequency between Crawcrook and Newcastle allowing the TEN to rattle the 100. Don't know how the evening boards would work out though but that is one way which GNE could get one back on Stagecoach.

Would be interesting, never managed to get on one somehow

(30 Sep 2015, 6:39 pm)Michael wrote Mind, the omnidekka's would look smart in full black...

How have u not? :O

(30 Sep 2015, 6:43 pm)NK53 TKT wrote Well don't have a need to go to Stanley, when I have tried three times (twice on X30/X31 and once on the X70) either got a lolyne, omnicity or president)

(30 Sep 2015, 6:45 pm)Michael wrote Ohh i thought u meant the Omnicities! Sorry 

Hopefully when the changes happen the X30/X31 will be fully omnidekka.
