I've always thought the Solars on X84/85 were specifically express buses as they were on X20/X50 Sunderland - Durham - South Shields, later OK1 then TynedaleXpress. Would be wasted on 57, which is predicted to be mid blue Citaros off Diamond???

(21 Oct 2015, 7:29 pm)NK53 TKT Just wondering if there is any possibility of 5293-5297 going to Hexham for the X84/X85 and the Solars going to Riverside for the 57?

New Northern 6
Just passed along A692 Pickering Nook to Crookgate Bank Top via Hobson Hotel and noticed Durham County Council have posted New Timetables including Service 6 from Sunday (replacing 44 Diamond),although Service 6 will route via Lintz and Burnopfield, only rejoing A692 at Pack Horse (Bottom og Crookgate Bank) Missing out this section via Hobson.
Burnopfield stop on GNE Timetable reads "Burnopfield Post Office" (which no longer exists - as nearest P.O. is at Leazes, so will cause confusion to some,- Leazes is often referred to as part of Burnopfield) Durham County Council refer to this stop as "Front Street" Burnopfield. (Used to be Old Co-op Buildings) but as new Co-op Foodstore is located in the Old Travellers Rest in Leazes end of Burnopfield any reference to Co-op would also be confusing.

Just had reply to my mail to Durham County Council re. New Service 6
Quote from Durham County Council mail:
......... My colleague who was putting the poster out at the bus stop called to advise us of the error this morning.
There was a discrepancy in whether the service 6 serves the Bank Top stops and Go North East have confirmed it is only the 836 school service which stops there.
We are currently changing 600 bus stop posters for Sunday’s bus service revisions, once we have an interval in this workload we will be amending the posters to the correct information.
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention

@Dan/Citaro5284 - 5246's front destination is playing up again, yesterday it was flickering and was showing a blue/white square and an Arial '1'.
EDIT: already reported
(22 Oct 2015, 11:17 am)Chris Yeah, IIRC these Solars have high backed seats?
