(18 Nov 2013, 9:08 pm)Wellsey18 wrote MPD 568 is also at Percy main now in its green base colour, on the 17 tonight, am i the only one that thinks its stupid that some north Tyne links and centurion buses swap over. Like after 6/7 you usually find centurion B10's on north Tyne circuit, and north Tyne MPDS on the 17 longs (Churchill street-cramlington/benton Asda)
Tbh I think that's better. I'm not familiar with the area, however, but I'm assuming the buses that work daytime 17/40/41/80's then interwork using their usual allocation of North Tyne Links MPD's & Centurion B10BLE's? I personally think this is slightly better in my opinion as it means although half the vehicles will be incorrect branding half should be the correct branding. Example: 2A/2C/61 interworking on Sundays currently using th SimpliCity versas, however I'd much prefer them to using say 3 Silver Arrows Citaro's & 2 SimpliCity Versas. Rather than 28/34 interworking & 60/42 interworking who use the Waggonway vehicles (DAF's/Solars) & the Drifter vehicles (Versas/Streetlites). However I assume the two examples must be based on the service in question with the 60 and 28 been held in higher regard than the 42 and 34.
