When the 39 and the 2/2a are meant to run every 7 8 mins combined. Do they heck.

Informed GNE but what good will it do? Now sitting for 17 mins for next bus.

(11 Nov 2016, 4:04 pm)S813 FVK wrote Was stood next to 6122 for a bit tonight and it looked to me as if the vehicle had been fully repainted. I'm guessing the red bits where the branding had been was repainted to cover up the marks as opposed to the full bus though.

Also since their only 5 bus stop instead 6 they could use old 88/88A stand because it still has bus stop marking on it.

There is indeed markings there but I'm sure the length of the stand was reduced to fit the new crossing in so the stand mightn't be able to fit a full size bus in there anymore.

Saw an X9 following an X10 heading north earlier tonight. 
Prior to that, this morning I saw an unidentified branded B9 NIS on the A1 heading south. It had a driver at the wheel, rather than a fitter.
It came on at the Angel and continued south.

(11 Nov 2016, 10:11 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Does it? How longs that been happening?

Well that used to be the case when the 5 used the same stand as the 11.

(11 Nov 2016, 10:13 pm)Ds1197 wrote Since the Sunday timetable changes the 5 and 9 towards Sunderland swapped stands

(11 Nov 2016, 10:19 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Ah right

Cant see the point of it tbh, 88/88As regularly run late and Driver Changes also occur in the Bus Station too, So if the 88/88A is late and having a driver change, Its going to bugger the 5.  

Old system of 2 terminators on one stand and two passing services on the other worked fine, Apart from the odd delay to one service or two.
