1575 is parked in Durham Bus Station and 1578 is on the U1 again.
Does anyone have pictures of the branded 23 streetlites?

2834 has transferred from Darlington to Jesmond with 2503 moving the other wayWas wondering how long it would take for this to end up at Darlington.

About time we got some cheaper fares in Aycliffe!
Not bad. What ticket is that? I can't even see Newton Aycliffe on their zone maps.I think it may be an extension of the Darlington area, I'm not sure, I just saw a notice on the 5A this morning didn't get to read the whole thing though.
I'm quite lucky in the sense that the Durham District ticket covers the X2 all the way to Newcastle. So £63 a month.

4809 has just hit Stand I in Tubwell Row again. Right old mess!And they just fixed it as well!

I imagine there was already a bus on the stand and 4809 on the 2 has arrived and tried to pull in on an angle and has ended up smashing the stand (again!)
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! STOP SAYING THE STAND CHANGES LAST YEAR WERE A GOOD THING BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T, STOP SAYING A LOAD OF CRAP DARLINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL AND FLAMING DO SOMETHING!!! NOW!!!

I completely agree, someone WILL be killed eventually. We NEED a bus station back!How someone hasn't been killed or at least seriously hurt is nothing short of a miracle.

I wasn't keen on the "MAX" spec Omnis before - and I'm even less of a fan now! That green floor with the e-leather seating? Bad choice...
(18 Oct 2014, 8:18 pm)Dan wrote Arriva North East: 2806 / YK08ERZ by danielgrahamm, on FlickrIt shouldn't even be on the road in that state as far as I'm concerned. The front bumper looks like it's not secured correctly on the offside, and I'd suggest parts of that bodywork would be rough/sharp when it's not painted. Pretty sure this would be frowned upon by the DVSA.
..and finally - what on Earth happened here?
(18 Oct 2014, 8:22 pm)tyresmoke wrote I am guessing your MPD on the X14 would be one of the short workings, these interwork with the 57A and 33 town service in Morpeth... It's not an ideal arrangement as those short X14s do get full as shown here.
As for the MAX Scanias, I agree I was hoping they'd have sorted the floor but it seems they haven't. The existing green fabric suited them perfectly, the blues of the MAX scheme just doesn't work! Should look good on Pulsars though!
