, I think he means that the timetables that are on the X5 fast cats buses are the Wear Xpress timetable design.

I was more confused at your post than the timetable situation, it made no sense. 

But it could be confusing for people, hopefully Citaro's will move on soon.

Saw three X6s yesterday. Two new livery Citaros and a Solo.

Only 2 Solo's have entered service so far, so the allocation is 2 Solo's and 2 Citaro's.

692 arrived yesterday, not sure when 691 will arrive.

606 disgraced itself outside of work:

Off topic but go north east have had the following boards with 58 plates
15:00 35 from boldon to low moorsley 5326
15:30 35 from boldon to low moorsley 5325
16:00 35 from boldon to low moorsley 5327
I found this quite interesting

How were they doing for passenger numbers, out of curiousity?

Still no NSAs on TEN (6078).

They have been disabled until news ones are done

It seems to be taking a long time . . .

(06 Dec 2016, 4:24 pm)G-CPTN wrote It seems to be taking a long time . . .

It's not a 5 minute job though, it takes a long time, other services have yet to receive their stop announcements so it's not just the TEN services.

Do you know roughly when idigo north tyne will get theirs

Dan's the best person to ask.

When I was waiting for the 22 at Park Lane at 12:30-ish, there were a handful of people specifically waiting for the X6 and a couple of others ran over for it, so word has got out. That's hardly peak time of day, either.

5333 was a beautiful shade of muck (much like Bigun, when he got home from outdoor ed, today!)

Often thought coaches would be the best option for the X9/X10, having read previous points on suitable coaches and the recent addition of the Scalia Caetano double deck coaches which do don't require a lift having seats downstairs, maybe leave a row of seats out and these could be the answer over streetdekka/ADL decker.

I'm told 693 was on yesterday.

That's good, hopefully the numbers keep going up, the X6 is 18 minutes quicker to Hartlepool from Sunderland than the X5 so that might be attracting passengers.

(06 Dec 2016, 3:41 pm)big mac wrote How were they doing for passenger numbers, out of curiousity?

The first from Hartlepool on Monday had only one enthusiast on from Hartlepool.

The X6 that left park lane today at 10:26 had 16 passengers on.

You joking?! The deckers get packed! They tried coaches on the X9 originally.

I think we will see the Enviro 400 City on the services.... but that's a massive "think" haha.

Does anybody know the best place to get hold of the new Indigo east Durham paper timetables please

I'm on 693 now heading to Sunderland on X6
