It wouldn't make sense to dedicate the route branding of the 11 service to the Metrocentre - it's one hell of a route, with much more to offer than links to the Metrocentre!

I'm not sure.

I believe the 58 is being reduced to every 12 minutes so I wonder if the Versas will be used on the 42?

Surprised as i always thought the 58 was one of their busiest services.....then again, they dropped the 56 down to every 12 minutes.

My grandma lives on the route and she had a letter through the door or something about it, then I checked the facebook page and it was on there.

She is not pleased that about it as the 11 provides a way faster link than the 10 to Newcastle.  Wonder how the 10 will cope as when I get it there it's busy enough!

With 6084, they do. If any of the Tyne Tees Xpress Volvo B9TLs are VOR, 6084 should be allocated to the X9/X10 as preference (with a B7 Gemini filling the void on TEN).

Maybe the Cobalt Clipper frequency is being reduced so one of them B9s will move to the TEN?

I'd imagine the 10A extension will only need 1 bus anyway
