Was on the 68 earlier and saw a notice behind the drivers cab about changes to the service from February 2nd. Supposedly, the 68 suffers from reliability issues, so the 12:33 service from Heworth will terminate at the QE Hospital instead of Wrekenton, therefore giving it a much longer layover period. All other services on the 68 will remain the same.

A thought about the two purple Versas. Could they be transferred to Riverside for the Orbit 51/52, to coincide with a possible extension to the routes? I remember Citaro saying they've been specifically selected, and of course the 8330-8338 batch are the current Orbits. I know a VOSA registration hasn't appeared for the services, but as I say it's just an idea.
