(20 Jul 2015, 9:15 pm)thetravelman Thanks guys - I was busy typing up my last reply and submitted it before seeing your comments.
Is it just my lack of Knowledge or is there a lack of choice of buses on the market at the moment and what is New on the market seems to be more geared up for London and its green targets!

Black Road will be closed between Hedgeley Road and Auckland Road from Monday 27th July to allow for essential maintenance and strengthening works on Black Road Metro bridge.
During these works, Service 88 will be unable to serve Albert Road, Victoria Road East or Black Road and will instead operate between Jarrow Bus Station and Auckland Road via the route of Service 88A, i.e Ellison Street, Western Road, Blackett Street and High Lane in each direction.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works which are outside of our control.
Maybe the 88 can use double deckers as the 88A route has no low bridge.
(20 Jul 2015, 8:54 pm)thetravelman Ah, right... I see.... so as this service has proved & established itself since 2011, it is obviously now viable for GNE to invest in and receive New buses.
Where as previously it only received second hand vehicles, whilst GNE assessed its demand and profitability.
If the Streetdeck Demo, is not going to be well liked or even suitable for the job....
Obviously GNE could consider an order for the E400 - which seems to be well liked at the mo.
Are you still able to to purchase new - Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 - since they seem to be up to the job and well liked.

Don't know if anybody else has noticed but i quite like this destination:
5303 Go North East Service 35A (2) by Diamond One, on Flickr
Clearly advertises that it has a guaranteed connection with service X35 (same bus operates through).

Found a similar one for the AD122 (although no mention of the fleet number):

(21 Jul 2015, 10:34 am)R852 PRG Your idea of royalty must be different to mine. I bet something from the chip shop for Christmas dinner is standard, I reckon you've got so many bus services because most of the cars up there are stolen or burnt out in the middle of fields; and I also imagine the pigeon is your equivalent of the swan; an animal that is legally protected!

(21 Jul 2015, 10:48 am)S813 FVK We have a decent market, unlike Chester-le-Street. We have an ASDA, unlike Chester-le-Street. We can even afford to have a bus station, unlike Chester-le-Street. What's not to like!

(21 Jul 2015, 10:55 am)R852 PRG I admit the market has lost it's purpose over the years... You might have an ASDA; but do you have a Tesco, Morrisons, Iceland or Aldi? We did have a bus station... Roughly where Tesco is now.
