I think it runs Monday - Friday only. If you want a photograph of it, the hospital will be your best bet.

Daytime 701 allocated diesel Connect 628. Night time is a Hybrid.

If 628 is unavailable, an MPD.

Wonder if there's a chance of the 701 running all day when the renewal of the contract comes up, which should be next year.

The new loop branding:

Better than the last version.

[S813 FVK]

Better than the last version.

I think a few disagreements are heading your way haha.

I think it does look quite tidy and i'm sure its going to be one of those that looks better once its been around for a few weeks.

[JP6004]

Better than the last version.

I agree. But does look a bit plain. I wonder if the loops are going to be different colours like the previous version...

Of course, people are bound to have varying opinions on the new livery design. We'll no doubt hear the usual moans about branding covering windows, too!

I understand there will be different coloured variations of the loop design, as per the previous design.

It's a vast improvement in my opinion, especially now that we have an actual loop on the bus.

I hope so, least it will bring discussion to the forum!

Low Fell is a convoy lovers dream at the moment. Stood outside the Co-Op and there's a Coaster, Nexus 29, a training cadet, an X12 and 5 (yes five!!) Angels battling through the roadworks,

Around 12ish. I walked past as 1001 arrived. 8311 picked up the passengers but a plane red Gemini was parked up outside the Law Courts and a Cadet was also there. 

I've got a very grainy photo!

NSA screens aren't working on 6307 but the sound is. Can take a clip of it if Dan or citaro need it

The new loop branding:

Is that a figure of 8 or the topography of Gateshead?

6126 is going around with 'Bus Reversing'on the blind, it's becoming a regular occurrence.

Can I see the picture?
EDIT:What direction was the bus pointing in?

[Ambassador]

Facing towards Tyne Bridge. Not sure on how to upload the photo, I'm not into photography!
