Just passed 6029 going through Springwell Village on what is most likely the X1 with 'Not In Service' on its headboard and the bus is full of passengers. Looks like either an issue or the driver has changed the headboard rather early which may confuse potential passengers that wish to board it as there's a couple of more stops before the galleries.

Makes sense doing that to make up lost time , wish the 10B I got yesterday had done that, it was running nearly 20 mins late by the time it went to Prudhoe Interchange and came back. Probably not possible on those though due to the route it serves.

Sitting downstairs on a castles express for the first time.
Much quieter and quicker accelerating onto the A1 than the demonstrator was. What's different, then?
Edit, valso noticed the announcements need some tweaking in Durham. The stop's already been passed by the time Emma gets around to telling you what it is.
(09 Apr 2016, 1:24 pm)citaro5284 So it is working fine. The problem issue is that it is staying on all the time, but if it has changed back to the 6, then it is OK.

(10 Apr 2016, 9:19 am)jordan_Angel I think it is because the demonstrator was a Volvo B9TL Wright streetdeck where as the castles express is a Wright streetdeck chassis and Wright streetdeck body?
9105. On the 57 shuttle today
Edit 5390 has replaced it as 9105 has no blind

Crusade and keep connected...
The "Crusader" branded Mercedes Citaros at Riverside Depot are currently in the process of having free customer Wi-Fi installed. The examples commissioned today include 5312, 5317, 5318, 5319, 5329 and 5330. I believe the remainder will be installed over the coming days.
The red spare Mercedes Citaro, 5332, has also had free customer Wi-Fi installed. This should be the preferred spare vehicle for the Crusader 27, in the event that a branded vehicle is unavailable, to provide a consistent specification.

Crusader doesnt need wifi, instead it needs newer buses e.g off 21 Angle and NSA.
