First day of the M1 to Metrocentre today was operated by LG02FFR - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gpr_bus_ph...089340255/
Interested to see whether it will be operating tomorrow or not! They could merge it with the S1 if it was running through the week also.

If PCL want this service to succeed, they need to sharpen up their ideas on publicity.

Always seems to be the way with PCL, changes given at very short notice and almost nowhere you can find out about them. I really think the M1 could be more successful if it was advertised better.
On another topic, does anyone know whats being used on the 15 / 16 now? Does it change on a regular basis? Its just I have seen darts, the convoy and the white solo on there over the past few months. Hopefully they stick with the solo as the darts are unreliable and the convoy just creates a bad impression.

Just to put everyone's mind to rest on this matter, there is now finally a public online timetable for the Sunday M1 journeys on Nexus' website: https://www.nexus.org.uk/sites/default/f...040617.pdf
Now shows up on Traveline as well although other sites including BusTimes still don't show the Sunday running on Sundays.

(29 Jun 2017, 8:25 am)RBZ 5459 Noticed it on Sunday when I checked the times to try and photo it at the Metrocentre. Second time I've been stood for the 1600 to reach it's journey end, second time it didn't appear for me. What an outfit operation....
This time I was at the Metrocentre Coach Park after last times Newcastle no show.
