The buses with one side completed have upper and lower branding plus the window branding.

Discussion of the indiGo Solo SRs had cropped up in a discussion between him and Jimmi in one of this photos from yesterday (https://flic.kr/p/wBpMmS). Jimmi said "Yep, I think all of the IndiGo Solo SR's have arrived now for GNE and yes they will be replacing the MPD's on the current East Durham routes."
Because he said 'i think', i thought i'd confirm that all 14 had arrived for Jimmi but also for Alex too - i also added that 653 had been BRANDED and then he seems to have got an idea that it has been repainted...

Were you not a bit freaked out for a second?

I was a bit freaked out when that comment appeared as it just came out of nowhere. No doubt I'll be having him lurking around me at the Shildon Rally next Sunday.

(30 Jul 2015, 10:25 am)Dan wrote Under a Quality Contracts Scheme, Nexus proposes that a journey between Birtley and Gateshead would cover three zones (A, B and C). In 2012, Nexus proposed that a single fare on one mode of transport would cost £2.50. An inflation calculator would suggest that £2.50 in 2012 is now worth £2.72. One would therefore suggest that the fare, under Quality Contracts, would either be £2.70, £2.75 or £2.80 (pretty damn close to the present fare of £2.80!)
