(22 Aug 2015, 8:46 pm)R852 PRG A lot of scholars services operate in various areas because they can use it to interwork with other routes. For example, Chester-le-Street operate some scholars services in the Washington area. Although I think they run off other scholars services as opposed to mainstream routes. I'm not sure, I no longer use the scholars services at my school.

(22 Aug 2015, 9:14 pm)R852 PRG Chances are it may just go for scrap. Although the fates of withdrawn vehicles is unpredictable. I wasn't expecting to be told that 4854 had gone to the Tyne & Wear Fire Service to be used as a fire practice vehicle!
(22 Aug 2015, 3:16 pm)NK53 TKT Does anyone have a clue if the new 74 timetable has made any changes to reliability because on Friday nights the 16:08 from Hexham has arrived into Newcastle with me on before 18 minutes late. They chose to change earlier buses instead

(23 Aug 2015, 7:13 am)Text The change to the timetable was to allow the bus being used to take up an extra run on 687 Corbridge - Hexham. this in turn comes off a 686 (as it did previously)Thanks that does happen
GNE therefore changed the times to allow extra time for the bus to get it back to Hexham to take up a run on the 74.
Delays can occur anywhere whether it be on the 686 at Wylam where the bus often has to wait several minutes for a train, or, the ongoing works at Cowgate and build of traffic on the Central Motorway can cause the bus to lose time especially on a Friday.

(23 Aug 2015, 10:34 am)South Tyne Lad On weekdays, Stagecoach's X78 service run every 30 minutes with extras provided in the form of the X77 which I believe does a slightly different route round Darras Hall to the X78 and the X79 serves Northumbria Polices headquarters at Kirkly Hall instead of Darras Hall 2x a day so Stagecoach have the full market share.
Though on Sundays, there's only 1 X78 every 2 hours so it makes sense to run the same route on that day to run the same route and nick a few passengers from Stagecoach that would normally use Stagecoach on the Weekdays
