Just love it when bus drivers leave a stop two minutes early.

When the 39 and the 2/2a are meant to run every 7 8 mins combined. Do they heck.

Informed GNE but what good will it do? Now sitting for 17 mins for next bus.

The only times that matter are timing stops. Any other stop tine is just a guide. Bold stops on the GNE timetable. If it left a timing stop early, complain, else don't as the driver isn't at fault.

(11 Nov 2016, 2:09 pm)Ds1197 Does Jarrow Bus Station have any overlay bays?

I dont know if it changed since last but the only overy Jarrow are next to nhs buildingand under the bridge.

Also since their only 5 bus stop instead 6 they could use old 88/88A stand because it still has bus stop marking on it.

Was stood next to 6122 for a bit tonight and it looked to me as if the vehicle had been fully repainted. I'm guessing the red bits where the branding had been was repainted to cover up the marks as opposed to the full bus though.

There's still a layover bay across from the Hospital ( Was the temporary 5 stand while the Bus Station was remodelled ) that can be used if needed.

There is indeed markings there but I'm sure the length of the stand was reduced to fit the new crossing in so the stand mightn't be able to fit a full size bus in there anymore.

Yes - 698 was given an internal valet at Riverside then sent to Deptford afterwards.

700 should be given an internal valet on Monday then sent to Deptford afterwards similarly.

699 should be ready to be given an internal valet by the middle of next week, and again, sent to Deptford after that.

Have there been issues with the X9/10 today?

Saw an X9 following an X10 heading north earlier tonight. 
Prior to that, this morning I saw an unidentified branded B9 NIS on the A1 heading south. It had a driver at the wheel, rather than a fitter.
It came on at the Angel and continued south.

The NIS branded one I saw was heading south at about 1130 this morning.
The two heading north was at about 1630 (that Purple Versa you saw went above me at Doxford Park) just before I saw the pair.
