What other routes are every 15 minutes though? I was thinking the 39 with the Lambton Worm versas but you already said it would be allocated Solars. Can't think of any other route that's every 15 minutes and requires 4 buses. |

Only other service every 15 minutes is the 700 but i doubt they would lose the Hybrids and the "Sunderland Connect" brand especially when its funded by a few companies. As Tom, said the PVR for the 39 is 7 so 3 more would needed and i don't see them coming off the 34/34A.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

The 17 maybe could be changed as the reliability is a bit crap, but the 1, 309/310 etc. all seem to be running fine as they are. |

Can't think of any other route that's every 15 minutes and requires 4 buses. Service 61 runs every 15 minutes...though obviously they'd be a Versa short! They could pinch 8328 from Riverside or just do a South Tyne and have an L94. Of course, this would free up the 5 Citaro's which could be used on the X84/5, 67/9, 9, 19 or 28. They could utilise the extra citaro from the 35/36 send all 6 to Stanley for the X30/31 and use the 7 Omnicities on the 11/96 (but that might be taking it a bit far) |

Think it should be the red ones (5211 to 5217) branded "Black Cats" for the 39, with the livery as shown on the Cadets before that plan was scrapped. Furthermore I think the 17/17A will gain various corporate livery spare Wright Solars, I would go with 4974 to 4976 & 4989 to 4992. As for the Blue Solars, no idea where they could go, 11/96 maybe. |

Ah yes I forgot about the Black Cats brand! I think the 17 will be branded though. What could you brand the 11/96? Totally different routes |

A quick question, if I wanted to observe what was running on the 794 on an afternoon, what route does it take, does it pass through Gateshead Town Centre?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016
Question I've been meaning to ask for a while.... Why was 3941 deemed Not suitable for service 434/448? I know it was sent from Riverside to Percy Main to upgrade the service and improve reliability, but what was the problem?
I know the 434 doesn't seem to carry many passengers but I think it's the scholars service where the large amount of passengers are, otherwise I would think a minibus would be more than suitable. |

I know it was sent from Riverside to Percy Main to upgrade the service and improve reliability, but what was the problem?I think it's because it is a full height Volvo B7 and some of the branches of the tree are too thick and could lead to a fatal accident and if I am not mistaken the is a bridge that is just able to fit east lance lolyn under. but lately the 434 has been operated by the X-WRG variety or 5166 or wright solars, also I do agree with thetravelman that 434 should be operated by minibus as the passenger numbers are quite low |
