(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.

I would say it was considering it is two routes combined into one...

(23 Nov 2015, 1:33 pm)G-CPTN I spoke with a TEN driver yesterday.
He started his duty at Hexham and said that he would do a couple of 10A/10B runs before returning to Hexham.

Was this during the day, afternoon or early evening or evening?

Monday To Saturday:
- Hexham 10 = PVR 6
- Riverside 10A/10B = PVR 8

Evenings:
- Hexham / Riverside 10/10A/10B = PVR 6

Sunday Daytime:
- Hexham 10 = PVR 3
- Riverside 10A = PVR 4
- Riverside 10B = PVR 2

(23 Nov 2015, 4:33 pm)DaveyBowyer Was this during the day, afternoon or early evening or evening?

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).

Drivers who finish at Hexham without a bus to return to the depot, walk to the depot at Hexham.

The shift you are referring to comes off at the MetroCentre for a break, with a Riverside driver taking over.  The Hexham driver then relieves a Riverside driver, to do the 10As.

Thank-you - it's always interesting to learn how the shifts are structured - the reason why I was asking the driver how many trips he had ahead of him.

The low winter sun made it quite an arduous task, but I managed to get one or two shots in the shade on Silksworth Lane. I'll try and upload these later.

If I remember rightly, the last time I took photos of this diversion, there was a dusting of snow on the grass near the Premier Road/Silksworth Lane roundabout.
