(01 Jul 2016, 1:27 pm)Stuartphin1639 Just seen a X12 Branded Pulsar going down the A1 just before the A690 turn off heading in the south direction, is there a X12 that finishes at Newcastle around 2pm

(01 Jul 2016, 7:48 pm)LeeCalder It may have been to Jesmond for a chassis wash.

(02 Jul 2016, 7:31 pm)Adrian Severe congestion in the town about midday. No idea what the cause was, as I just avoided it instead.

A1 was a nightmare around the same time too. My X24 was 25 minutes late into the Metrocentre, and I'd gotten on it on time in Durham!

A selection of Durham buses have received rear adverts advertising stuff related to Arriva such as this one for WiFi on 1324. Saw one of these styled adverts on at least one of the standard liveried Pulsar's as well.

(03 Jul 2016, 4:07 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com A member on this forum but doesnt post anymore

(03 Jul 2016, 7:59 pm)MurdnunoC Would this person have inside knowledge (i.e. do they work for the company in some capacity?) or are they have likely to received the information from an unidentified third-party? 

Simply being a member of this forum, albeit one who doesn't post anymore, isn't exactly confirmation of this alleged service coming into fruition now does it?
