Sadly didn't get to ride it as I wasn't on a outing today but hopefully will tomorrow.

I am in Malta until the 11th?

Make sure you double check the date, if you aren't sure!

Is 793 out today?

Timetables are up for the Q3 it seems now, or at least they are in Wallsend.

The bus stop on The Avenue needs to be properly reinstated. No road markings and cars blocking it.

Where's this?

Its an estate to the West of Wallsend where the 18 used to run. One of the access points is through a low metro bridge.

Good catch vehiclewise, just a shame its the same photo location as always.

Exactly, might try Prudhoe Station as a location, if it's going about on the 10B tomorrow, and somewhere like Folly if it's on the 10A.

I would expect it to be out tomorrow, but due to no vandal screen, will not be out late.

You wouldn't have any idea what 10 though?

You would've thought they'd have Vandal Screen's going by the southern end of the route it serves at EYMS

Aye STL, its a bit like parts of South Tyneside, where they have a rear gunner on the milk float

Unless things have improved since the late 80s, they simply don't send buses out late, there! (Fond memories of having to budget for a taxi home if staying out after 9pm)

5386 has been repainted to join the green Quaylinks

This is a canny diversion!


Go North East

X9 & X10 currently diverted due to an incident at Hastings Hill. These services are currently operating via Shiney Row.

Apparently 793 is on the 10A today

Typical for me as I don't know the 10A route

My friend sent me this, seems a Simplicity has gone in to the back of a car at Hastings Hill.

Looks like its 8319

793 taking a well earned break at Blackhall Mill today - https://www.flickr.com/photos/northeastb...642810921/

I think it was the 15:05 10A from Newcastle to Blackhall Mill arriving at 16:18 so it will be at Blaydon at 15:35. Not sure what it will do after that unless it hangs around for the 16:54 departure.

Yes that's correct managed to get a photo of it, next ones to get are the B&H OmniDekka's before they are repainted. Might try that tomorrow

793 was on the 10b this morning arriving into Prudhoe at approx 7:35am.

I'm out tomorrow, going to see more of South West Gateshead/Durham amongst others. Hopefully can catch at least a sight of the garish bus that's causing the fuss!

Does anyone know which renowns are to be withdrawn next.
The renowns left in service at the moment.
