Yip, Solo back on the 39/A/B.
93/94 seem to have been retimed to fit with service 1 on Bensham Bank; also 51/52 and 93/94 look to split Windy Nook to Heworth. A quick look at the timetables suggests that it could be 2 separate inter working cycles.
Possibly, but I'm not sure it will be, can't see them wanting to have one of the 93/94 sitting around for 21 minutes as it's too tight to do anything else.
Both the 93/94 get into Gateshead at 18 minutes past and the 93 leaves at 19 minutes past and 1 minute layover isn't enough as it wouldn't even be on stand in time.
The 51/52 would work by themselves though but not sure what else the 93/94 could work with as there's nothing really unless they're wanting some new open top buses. Believe they'd save a PVR by merging them together and Dan has been hinting at services working with others recently. Who knows though, sure we'll find out soon enough though.
