(26 Mar 2016, 4:30 pm)Dan Exactly what we need - more ticketing options in Durham that drivers won't be able to remember!
How many alx max buses are on the 900 and which one has the urban 90 seating?

Here's the vehicles, big lugs http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...#pid157869
(26 Mar 2016, 8:40 pm)palatine3833 'Some drivers' you mean :p - we don't all struggle to remember the options. Some of us even know the fares off by heart, sad as it may seem.

(26 Mar 2016, 8:54 pm)Adrian I commend you or any other driver that can remember every single product offering. Especially when driving something like the X12, and having to contend with Teesside and Tyneside's tickets too.
A point I've brought up previously is that there's no need to be so many ticket offerings. If the customers don't understand them, then there's little benefit to having them, and it's perhaps time for commercial to have a bit of a think about it.

The others on Metros are 7423 (not been out yet afaik?), 7424 and 7426.
(26 Mar 2016, 11:39 pm)GX03 SVC But why has it got urban90s...freshly refurbished too...?

Do you know that for sure, or is it speculation?

A guess
These vehicles had a retrim while at Arriva London, and I've also heard about the vehicle being released by Thorntons early so the Metro replacement contract could be covered.
