Services 6,X30/1, X70/1 due new buses soon?! - At last! - possibly.. perhaps..?
These are long routes and could be very busy if Fares, Timetables and Quality were improved.
Fares outside Tyne & Wear i.e to Stanley & Consett rocket outside Nexus Tyne & Wear zone area, yet are shorter in distance to some areas / destinations in, for example, Sunderland / Durham border areas (extreme boundaries of Tyne & Wear, which also benefit from linked fares with Metro (to Airport etc..)
Get this right and I believe revenues will rise while giving customers a better service.

Wonder when the roadworks on norham road start if the 310 will follow the normal eiversion set by council for all traffic or they could go down bottom of norham road then up tyne tunnel trading estate to cobalt south and GNE could put a shuttle bus on from formica to cobalt south as it is happening for nearly a year.

6131 has return black/branded. Noting that it will be the only decker in that brand to have a full set of blue seats since 6133/43 remain in their respective branding for now.

Rumour -
Hexham scanias are transferring to Deptford and the Tynedale Express is getting mercs. Is this one true? (Hope so!)
TENs are apparently getting repainted green for 'Tyne Valley Ten'. Now I am aware that GNE 'leaked' the name in a timetable published on the website but does this count for the whole TEN brand?
