Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2013
Had a thought about the next stop systems when I was on the Connections 4 earlier. Would it not be a good idea to indicate which BuzzFare zone you're in when the stops are listed on the screen? Or more importantly, to indicate when the BuzzFare zone border is the next stop?

Does anyone know if 58 bendi 5349 is one of the dead ones at Sunderland Road.

(03 Nov 2013, 6:09 pm)CatsFast101 It's like you've completely read my mind I though exactly the same. Something along the lines of 'The next stop is Shiney Row Wheatcheaf. Red Zone Buzzfare Passenger should alight here' and similarly with the 60 announcements something along the lines 'The next stop is Ryhope Hospitals. Sunderland Day or Weekly Saver passengers should alight here or pay appropriate fare from this point'.

(03 Nov 2013, 6:51 pm)Dan Liked the idea when I first glanced over the post, but reading into it... Surely a passenger needs to know the zonal structure when buying their ticket, rather than when alighting?
If I'm on the 56 and buy a Red Zone, I should know where the boundary is when purchasing the Red Zone...

(03 Nov 2013, 7:03 pm)CatsFast101 You should yes, but I've lost count the amount of times on a 202/X35 someone has bought a red zone ticket and went past the boundary into South Hetton.

(04 Nov 2013, 7:20 am)Dan It would seem Saltmeadows must be pushed for space... At leadt four "Drifter" branded Streetlites have now arrived at the contrastingly larger sized Deptford depot.

(03 Nov 2013, 7:07 pm)CatsFast101 Strange. As it been to Saltmeadows recently for repairs? Does anyone know. I can only assume that interior branding is been axed and 5305 has had it removed while its been at Saltmeadows as a rule of thumb to kind of 'do it while its there' or Deptford have begun removing it starting randomly with 5305. I can't see 5305 been took off laser duties.

East Durham broken down, Colliery Inn, Murton...it is 536 or 538...not the best picture
(04 Nov 2013, 7:44 am)Michael That's good we should see one of them out this week for the drivers.. tbh do they really need it?
They know how to pull away and stop,how to use the ticket machine and the lo-liner part of the bus...

(04 Nov 2013, 3:31 pm)BJ10VUS I understand where you're coming from, but despite not being a driver myself, I'm sure there's more to it than that.
