It seems as though service 16 is a success too, at around 12:30pm on Monday it came in from Castleside full from end to end. It emptied out at Stanley and then the next load of passengers got on, which made it fill up again. With this service being every 15 minutes, I was very surprised to see it get full as I never have before on the diamond services when they were heading towards Durham.
However, I never really saw the V7/V8 get busy at the MetroCentre at peak times. I saw it full in the morning coming from Stanley but never coming from the Metro.
Service 6 was an overall success. It almost filled an OmniDekka coming out of Stanley which I was surprised to see as I would imagine that if passengers would want to get to Newcastle quicker they would get the X30 or the V7/V8 for a quicker alternative to the MetroCentre.
X30/X31 got really busy too.
6019 has returned to Chester le Street and was out on the 34A this morning.

One of the 700 solos has had a crash in park lane I've just been informed by my buddy Paul
BTW, don't know if I didn't post it last night or not but if it got removed, I wasn't on about all of the changes, it was only a few in the past where reliability wasn't foreseen by operators. The changes made by all the big three in recent years have made a good effort to drive up reliability particularly the Stanley changes. It was a bit long too though because I quoted the original.

(28 Oct 2015, 12:42 pm)nk55 The metro radio bus (6133?) Wont be branded northern ( if that helps ), in the scheduled wrong workings a omnidekka runs an early am X31, but the only decker that will (without worry) go under the low bridge at dunston is the ommidekka ( marked as 13ft 11in ). If i remember correctly the bridge is 14ft 3in most deckers are 14ft 6in.
