(08 Feb 2016, 3:11 pm)stevemorrell yes unfortunatly i use to work at metroland & i was at chester for 3 months on National Express!
been at washington for 11 years and wouldnt dream of moving to any other depot!

the information about the 5's/50's has been confirmed and route learning will be starting next month!
there adding ayton into the 50 and will not be serving waterview park!
once the 50 arrives at South Shields we'l be changing to a 5 to Jarrow and back to Shields where we will resume back out as a 50 back towards washington!
its UNconfirmed but there talking about interducing a 82B which will go from birtley, not go through barley mow estate but once it get's to vigo bridge turn right & go through Rickleton!

Like the old 83 that they got rid of? Angel

Welcome Steve

With the 5/50s being confirmed, will that also confirm the transfer of the 88/88A to Riverside? And also will the Versas transfer with the 88?

I can't see them taking the Versa's of the 88/88A. 


More likely now:


The Omnicities moving from the 19 to the 5/50/50A.

The 5 B7RLE's to Percy Main for the 19.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

With the proposed changes to the 82/82A and what will be the 82B, this is obviously going to lead to a rise in the PVR.... What could be used?

Where would you actually go on the 19? As you live in the Jarrow area?
 
I'm fine with the OmniCitys on the route as they are rather comfortable for the long distance routes like the 19, I think we've gathered that a certain couple of members have a dislike to them. (yawn, yawn, yawn)

You're seriously going to use the 19 to go and use the 434 and the school service 448 that will leave you nowhere near a GNE route when it finishes in the afternoon?
