If we were in Japan, any repairs or replacement would have more than likely happened well before now.

I'm sure the 62/63 users will appreciate it aswell while they're sitting in queues along Chillingham Road and all the rest of the Byker / Walker services are ground to a halt over Byker Bridge.
Just clueless planning by clueless councillors but anything for their little trophy routes along the Coast Road in recent years.
Nexus / NECA / Transport North East / whatever name it is this week really need some adults with a transport background in the room. People take the piss out of the likes of Roger French but he'd do a much better job than the rubbish like Tobyn we've got up here who seems to be rewarded of failure by promotions.
If certain individuals with a transport background (despite all their experience) got hold of Nexus, I dread to think what would happen!
Just look at what those individuals have done to some of the operators and routes across the region.
Experience counts for nothing when incompetence dominates and influences their decision making.
