(23 Nov 2015, 1:21 pm)Jimmi But that would just make a complete mockery of route branding, what would the TEN and 47 use in place of the branded B9's. The evening and Sunday X10 route isn't really much different to the daytime route except it runs via Peterlee and Billingham in place of the X9, think it serves all the same stops that the daytime X10 route except the Northbound A19 slip road stop.

He started his duty at Hexham and said that he would do a couple of 10A/10B runs before returning to Hexham.

(23 Nov 2015, 4:58 pm)G-CPTN 14:23 departure from Hexham.
I presume that the vehicle was Hexham-based (though maybe not)
The driver arrived by car and parked in the bus station.
I didn't see where the 'retiring' driver went (I didn't notice another car).
There was a B9TL parked-up (not unusual) so the driver could have used it to get to the depot.
Of course the driver that I spoke to could have swapped to a Riverside vehicle in Newcastle (he did mention the MetroCentre as one of his trips, but I overlooked this as I didn't understand how that could be).
