I had my first ride on a Bluebird on the R4 today and it was a nice clean bus, canny drivers and they even have the radio on! Can't fault them to be honest.

I was pleasantly surprised by the ride quality actually, and for a Streetlite, there's barely a rattle out of it. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet had this.

I wonder how many passengers are affected by BuzzFares no longer being valid on the 68 (and 83A, 937 and 93A)?
(31 May 2016, 5:15 pm)Adrian wrote I do think that Nexus need to do more around secured services no longer accepting Buzzfare, Megarider, etc. Perhaps having an arrangement similar to what the Arriva 82/83s had for the entire route, along with through-ticketing connecting to/from the 4.
(31 May 2016, 5:23 pm)Dan wrote I wonder if that's why they've reduced the single fare? Assuming that's the ticket you bought earlier, anyway!
(31 May 2016, 5:30 pm)Tom wrote Is it still £3.30 from the Galleries on GNE too?
(31 May 2016, 5:33 pm)Adrian wrote Yeah. I think the £2.85 fare to Ayton or Lambton on the 50 from Chester-le-Street may apply, but it's £3.30 through to the Galleries.
On the 8 it's £2.85 as far as Glebe, and then the next fare stage is £3.30, which takes you to the Galleries and as far as the A1231 sliproad.

(22 Jun 2016, 8:03 pm)ifm001 wrote If it's terminating at Fulwell Grange you must be requiring to use that last couple of minutes of route from Seaburn Metro to Gladstone St. This is served every 10 mins by SNE services 23 isn't it, so why do you need to leave 15 mins early. Fair enough the bus should not be stopping short of its route but there are other options available to you. Apologies if I sound harsh but as a manager responsible for ensuring my staff can have adequate transport to and from work I would not authorise you to leave early for your reason.
