(13 Jun 2015, 9:16 am)Tom I've never had any issues with them, pretty good, often gets into Hexham early too.

The 688 might well be a Cadet.

688 is a TEN B9 today - while 3941 is on the 10.

X84/X85 appear to be running on time at the moment.

Only 5401 has them working I think. I know it was definitely working last week when I was on it. I recall Dan telling me it was the one citaro5284 and him were working on at Stanley.

I nearly fell through a seat on a Pacer when I was with my brother. I wouldn't be able to get a refund because it wouldn't be their fault that I fell through a badly maintained seat.  Wink

Go North East still need to remove the Soccer bus from the tabs for branded services, same as the Great Park, since technically the "Great Park" brand isn't on any vehicles......

Even though there's no vehicles branded "Soccerbus", the name is still carried on in marketing and suchlike. There was only one vehicle branded in the later years anyway, but the PVR was greater than that.

Great Park will be removed next month.

I didn't see you. I got off 6093 and was at the zebra crossing when 8334 came round the Royal Oak corner. I would have came and said hello otherwise.
