I have to say that I don't think the flooring on the MAX Omnicity's looks too bad, it sort of blends in with the MAX colours I think, if you want to see a hideous MAX interior ride 1415/1416 the greeney bluey coloured seats with navy e-leather... ew!
Would love to ride the 59/X59 route but it's not possible because it only operates in one direction so I could get there but not back, although I think Arriva's Dalesbus offering covers much of this route which I plan to do in the summer and possibly other Dalesbus routes too! I actually came up with a plan using last years timetable when I was bored the other night but unfortunately I made the plan on my now dead Windows Phone so have now forgotten it.
Any ideas on the exact last date the Arriva 59/X59 will run? At some point I want to catch some of the services heading along Abbey Road that don't go down there normally such as the 72 and also the 16A to Newton Aycliffe.
Yeah it was certainly busy on that one so I can only imagine what it must be like on the ones from Framwellgate! Yeah I know what you mean with the seat backs... 4644 has green on it's seat backs!
The last day of the X59 will be May 8th but I am not sure who is running it beyond this date. It was down in the consultation to run college days only but I would assume it will be a closed contract, with Little White Bus running a connecting service from Askrigg down to Leyburn, demand responsive only on the return leg. Another route killed by council funding cuts and a shame as like I said it seemed to have a decent load on it.
As for Dalesbus, the majority of the summer 2015 timetables are now on the Dalesbus website, with several extra bits and pieces (Arriva Yorkshire will now run to Richmond all summer instead of just August for example) - I believe Stephensons are now running York Pullman's diagram this year though it appears Pullman are still running a Saturday service!
