(19 Jan 2016, 4:51 pm)R852 PRG Got a question. Why is that Olympians are parked up in Stanley and Consett bus stations, yet low-floor vehicles can be clearly seen in the depot? Surely it would be better to have a President or something in case a vehicle breakdown occurs and one has to go into service to keep the service to timetable? All I can really think of is that the drivers like the Olympians, and take them out as a means of commuting from the depot to either bus station, if there is no set vehicle allocation for a staff shuttle?

(19 Jan 2016, 5:59 pm)wise owl All buses are allocated a board number, some go back to the depot and sit for a while before coming back out as shuttles. Board changes can only be authorised by consett/Stanley supervisors or engineering/Lds at depot, drivers dont pick & choose.

Actually the 9 doesn't stop anywhere near the Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate. Only services 1 which passes the south end, and the 19 which goes through it are the only routes in the area. Of course vehicles heading out of service back to Percy Main depot also pass through this location.

(19 Jan 2016, 6:12 pm)Andreos1 It goes along the A193, before reaching the bottom of Norham Road.My bad! Sorry for the confusion.
The A193, crosses over the A19, just where the start of the toll booths are for the tunnel.
The Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate entrance, is between the A19 and Norham Road.
If it was the 9, it was lost!

This might sound daft but could happen who thinks Go North East should consider ordering some EcoSeti vehicles either Volvo or MCV been on a similar one and it is much better than a Streetdeck i notice a few services that need but if GNE get a demonstrator with a view to purchase similar vehicles who knows who thinks its a good idea?
