I'm off to light a candle for the users of the Ten.

(18 Mar 2017, 10:23 pm)Adrian What about blind or visually impaired bus users? Do they look out the window or ask the driver? The ignorance towards the benefits of NSA technology never ceases to amaze me.
Not to mention that this is a commercial organisation wanting to reach out to those users, without having legislation stuffed in their face first!

(18 Mar 2017, 9:55 pm)Andreos1 To get to Peterlee from Easington Lane, there's the country roads that work towards Shotton, or the way the X35 (which has seen decker allocations) goes towards Easington Village, down the A182. The A19 has a junction with the A182 at Easington Village - and this is where I would have thought the decker would have joined the A19.Bus may have broken down facing South and was easier for the recovery driver to tow it out of the area to the South rather then cause major disruption by trying to get around the roundabout at Easington Lane.
The only low-bridge down there, was at South Hetton (Plesspool) and before it was demolished, had a high enough clearance for deckers to get under.

(19 Mar 2017, 3:51 pm)Andreos1 Yeah, that's what I guessed when STL said he spotted it at South Hetton.
It's the Peterlee thing that puzzled me.

(19 Mar 2017, 4:02 pm)South Tyne Lad I was mistaken, I meant the junction at Hall Walks where the A182 has a junction with the A19 heading North, I thought it was on the outskirts of Peterlee but is actually Easington Village upon checking!
Another thing I forgot to note was the said B9TL which broke down was 6003.

On 5214: "Go North East will introduce an improved 30-minute frequency to service 13 on Monday to Saturday daytimes, and it will interwork with services 14 and X25"

(19 Mar 2017, 4:32 pm)Dan It's only really the morning/evening peak-time journeys on service 14 which will interwork with the X25. During the day, it's service 13 which will interwork with service X25.
The main off-peak daytime journeys on service 14 will interwork with service X22, but at peak times, these will also interwork with service 13.
An example running board for the new 13/14/X25 interworking pattern is as follows:
- 07:47 #14 (Langley Park - Durham), arr 08:28
- 08:33 #13 (Durham - Langley Park), arr 08:59
- 09:04 #X25 (Langley Park - Newcastle), arr 10:18
- 10:25 #X25 (Newcastle - Langley Park), arr 11:34
- 11:39 #13 (Langley Park - Durham), arr 12:01
- 12:03 #13 (Durham - Langley Park), arr 12:29
- 12:34 #X25 (Langley Park - Newcastle), arr 13:48
- 13:55 #X25 (Newcastle - Langley Park), arr 15:04

It was sent to Volvo on Crowther Industrial Estate in Washington on 02/02/2017, and deemed uneconomical to repair about a week later. It has been at Saltmeadows Road in storage whilst awaiting disposal since 13/02/2017.
