(29 Jul 2015, 6:18 pm)Venturego Every time I've asked for a return ticket recently, I've been told by the driver they don't do return tickets anymore, as a buzzfare (unlimited travel within zones) is the same price.
Not sure if this is true now for all journeys, or maybe the ones I was taking on that day's travel. I now usually load up Key card with Buzzfares for my zones regularly travelled. (Purple/Green)
If travelling between Metrocentre & Newcastle City Centre (within one zone) I have been advised no return tickets are issued, and to purchase a buzzfare ticket

(12 Jul 2015, 7:07 pm)citaro5284 The bus full was removed because how would someone know what service had gone past especially if you had a red vehicle and that road was shared with a couple of services. Que a complaint for non operation.
Also, when VOSA are carrying out spot checks, a route number must be on display so they can check the timings with the registration. It would simply not be practical to have a bus full setup for every service, and probably not possible with the amount of memory that is in the DERIC's. Riverside's vehicles are close to the max now.
(29 Jul 2015, 7:05 pm)Tom They have the Newcastle Metrocentre day saver which is valid on all services between Newcastle and Metrocentre, in the Newcastle local zone and on the Q3 between Newcastle and Great Park for £3.50?

(29 Jul 2015, 10:28 pm)Diamond One more than likely that bus was a typo error i can confirm it is a 15 reg plate bus if it was a 16 reg plate one it won't be off the production line yet until next year

(29 Jul 2015, 10:35 pm)S813 FVK Did it really need confirming? It was quite obvious that it was supposed to read NK15.I agree everyone knew it was meant to be NK15 but he had to make it obvious.
Not relevant to above post but relevant to post above is responding to: People seem to get so hyped up over a typo. Second day in a row a typo has caused some sort 'outrage' if you would call it that.

The two final Optare Solos for Peterlee - 661 (NK15 GFJ) and 666 (NK15 EMJ) - were delivered to Go North East yesterday. As such; vinyl fitting has now commenced, with 653 (NK15 GDE) being the first to receive "indiGo" branding.
Heaven forbid if I've typed those letters in the registration in the wrong order... Cannot believe all the fuss over these simple typos recently - everyone makes them! :s
