Blyth... where do I start?
Blyth depot are great at ensuring that there is always a bus on the route, what annoys me is the amount of times branded buses are on different routes.

Generic branding for the X7/8/9/10/11 would have been the best option as any MAX bus can freely be allocated onto any of the specified routes.

Services 1 and 2 are definitely in need of an upgrade but with a shortage of suitable vehicles currently on the market it would have to be Wright Streetlites or Enviro 200's unless someone can get some Temsa's. The routes are easily identifiable from a non-enthusiast that there needs to be something done. Darts are just like Pacer trains - a quick fix/problem solver when originally built/required but a burden today.

And onto the 308...
My top suggestion would be to remove the 308 branding and replace it (if at all) with a generic hybrid slogan. These B5LH's are always seen on other routes and even rarely escape onto services 1 and 2.

The X30 in my eyes is currently fine how it is currently running albeit with some delays. Whatever bus is available is put on which is not that such of an issue.
