Back when i was a young laddy, I remember getting on the 12 from Walker, and from time to time the bus would be branded for the Metrocentre inside and out, obviously off route, Although currently the 12 runs from Byker depot, where as the 100 runs from Slatyford.

At some point has the 100 been ran from the Byker depot, or was the 12 run from Slatyford at some point.

I also remember getting on a old stripes bus Alx200 with shields branding on the side for the 18, Was this a loan at the time, I remember it was almost certainly a Alx200 because of the seating inside and how small it was.

Baring in mind this was years and years ago, if anyone has any knowledge It would be appreciated.
