(20 Oct 2015, 2:02 pm)Dan Lothian Buses show "Route Diverted" on the destination display (as below), and also have other variations such as "Part Route":

So it's a similar system, but I believe theirs is manual rather than automatic.

Is that like the picture of 9119 you showed us?

Looking at the fleet list on here, only 5287 (NK08 CFX) is to be branded.... so 8/9 has been done.

(5288 is still down as blue, but we know that'll be changed soon)

Yes, I think they're the final two to be branded and would have been done last night.

As they're now done and dusted, I believe any branding on the "Venture" branded minibuses which won't be relevant come the end of the month (references to Castleside, Stanley to Consett, connections to Metrocentre etc) is planned to be removed (and possible replaced) tonight.

I've been out and about most of the day and only just got back in the house, so didn't get time to update the fleet lists/news before going to work or during my lunch break!

Any idea when the Omnidekka's will get branded?


Also will we finally see the cadets branded "Black Cats" after all the branding is done for the upcoming changes?  Angel Angel

Wouldn't be surprised, its being so long since they announced it, nothing has happened....

They need to change the 33/33A timetables in the shops to "Go North East" if it has.

I dont think passengers will care about the fact that there is a bus displaying the black cats livery on the front of the leaflets. The chances are it will be changed when there are service revisions in that area affecting that servce.

Were on 6007 (Big'un thinks) on the X1 earlier. Horrible grating noise from the back, possibly to the left, whenever it braked or went around a bend or over a bump.

Could of been worse, you of been a "Tinned Sardine" on the X1 I got on this evening coming home from work, had to be 80 to 90 Passengers on board upon leaving Gateshead Interchange, either way we were at full capacity, which I have never before witnessed on the X1 before.

This was, thankfully, a moderately full mid afternoon bus. I spent the journey trying not to fall off the first seat up the step at the back.

That sounds more like a Saturday morning X9 loading!
