Doesn't X66 require 3 vehicles during the normal timetable now the circular extension is gone and it's going down to every 10 mins?

(29 Aug 2021, 8:23 am)citaro5284 wrote Does it really make any difference thou - the consistency is that most vehicles have the road stripe surely?

When Peter Huntley was here, all the branded vehicles had a white curve on them from the front wheel arch - this is no different.

This would put me off using the X66 in particular. I know that the 100 has difficulty with capacity especially at peak times so both routes could do with an extra at peaks.

(29 Aug 2021, 1:33 pm)streetdeckfan wrote Even during non-peak times the X66 seems to basically run at capacity, at least whenever I've used it it has.

I personally think it should at least use deckers during peak times, every time I've used it for the past year or so it's gone via Askew Road so height wouldn't be an issue.

Is the X22 ran by Riverside or CLS? Maybe a reason for the similar branding between them could be to share vehicles?

Gives you a sneak peak of what the bus will look like

Branding name is Tyne Valley 10 with green at the front and blue at the back with a white and organ roadstrip

My general point was that although there’s gaps in repaints, which in turn gives this place nout to talk about, actually having bodies out driving the buses at the moment was probably more of a priority than getting them painted and liveried!
