No, 5170 only went for repaint yesterday.

Compared to the old X40 brand, there was hardly any mention of 'Great Park', so more Great Park vinyls have been added - all vehicles due to be re-branded this week. 8310 due to re-gain a 'Quaylink' sticker below windscreen too.

(12 Nov 2015, 10:28 pm)BJ10VUS wrote On a weekday morning, some journeys on the 6, 10, 10A and 10B operate via Centrelink, rather than operating via the Redheugh Bridge. I'm not sure whether the 43/44/44A used to do this before prior to the October changes, however?
The following journeys serve the The Close (Copthorne Hotel), operating Monday to Friday only, with no journeys on Saturday or Sunday.
6 - 0808, 0833, 0903
10 - 0703, 0724, 0754, 0815, 0825, 0900
10A - 0735, 0805, 0835
10B - 0715, 0745, 0848, 0912

(13 Nov 2015, 2:19 pm)Adrian wrote I think something may be happening in the Newcastle City Centre. I'm on the 4 (5361), which is following directly behind another (5366). Folk waiting at Heworth were saying they got the Metro, because they'd waited half hour for an X1, and nothing had turned up.
Edit: There's just been an "all services back to normal" message over the radio, for Newcastle services.
