(25 Mar 2016, 7:23 pm)G-CPTN wrote Newbrough is the distant turning point from Hexham for the 683, so it has to pass through Fourstones on the outward journey (and on the return).

Where is Bridge End?

The one in Hexham is either on the north side of the Tyne - unless it refers to Whetstone Bridge by the High School (or Warden).

The 683 route does go via Hexham 'East End' (though only on the return to Hexham) - it does a loop from Hexham Bus Station to the East End back to Hexham Bus Station then heads off towards Newbrough.

Bridge End is by the Boat Inn.  Where the road crosses the R South Tyne.

Any updates on the repaints?

Add 5245 to that also - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ed-public/

Leaving only 5246 to be Repainted out of the Cobalt Connect Omnicities, if it hasn't been done already.

It won't be allocated until early hours man!

Ya never know, it could be allocated to the same board as last week thought i would ask just in case...

Dan when i seen 5155 today you could just tell it was on a 40 as it still hasnt been reupdated.

Do you mean the blinds showing Wallsend regardless of what way they are going? The 40 and 41 always show Wallsend for some reason.

Thursday it left deptford at 6:45.

No but its been mentioned before that the top line is cut off a bit and the number is too. Dan says it just needs reupdated

(28 Mar 2016, 9:32 pm)dannygee wrote No but its been mentioned before that the top line is cut off a bit and the number is too. Dan says it just needs reupdated

Ah ok can't see it being around for much longer anyway

But the driver chooses the destination. I know during weekdays and saturdays the 40 is every 15 mins and 41 every 30 through howdon and 15 through battle hill. So every 2nd bus should display hadrian park. On a evening and sunday they just run every 30mins so it should be Wallsend - wallsend.

For example it is

For the 40

40-Wallsend - Wallsend
40- wallsend- hadrian pk
40-wallsend- wallsend
40- wallsend to hadrian

For the 41

41-wallsend- wallsend
41-hadrian pk -wallsend
41- wallsend - wallsend
41 hadrian pk to wallsend.

Sure dan or citaro can comfirm what driver should display etc

I'm sure when I first started this forum a year ago, There was posts about 5155 being withdrawn, Its been a year since then.

Might have been 5165 as that was withdrawn a year or so ago - Was it the one everybody hated?

All of PM were supposed to be getting withdrawn but then got dda compliant and stayed. They should be going very soon?

Ah right I guess Wallsend is ok as it is a circular to be fair but I think passengers can get confused with the destinations.

Ah yes it was haha, Yeah it was 5165 I remember now, I didn't have a problem with it but everyone else seemed to hate it for some reason.

Probably when cascades become available from other depots.

Yes, when the Scania's from the Prince Bishops come free, they should be replace the duel door B10's and the Cadets.

It was horrible haha! Made dodgy noises all the time and those red seats were rock hard. More or less every time I got the 17 I had that.

Yeah 5165 was the bus everyone disliked.

Would quite like Omnis on the 17 but not sure where they'll come from so it'll probs be Solars. Not too bad I guess

As long as 4968 doesn't end up at Percy Main then you'll enjoy the Solars.
