Two X9/X10 boards were no-shows whilst I was trying to get photos on Teesside earlier, took me 90 minutes to get some photos of them (got 6045 during this 90 minute wait).

Aye. They look good haring along the A19.

Even better that they're not in a layby with their hazards on. Might actually dare to start traveling on that service again.

Ok, spoke to osoon.

Again, maybe GNE should have allowed a bit more time for (i) receiving and (ii) testing the buses before launching the service last week.  Surely two no shows on a 30 min headway can't be promoting the brand image that GNE are aiming for!

Possibly.
That was my initial thought, until RBZ mentioned the breakdown.

No brand name really, just X9/X10. I think the body design looks much better in this livery than in some others, incl the Streetdeck demonstrator,

Driver on 6046 said 4 are off the road already at Eldon Square, so guessing that there’s just one running as 2 haven’t entered service yet, not good PR for GNE

Okay, I have no clue what happened with that 11:00 X10 from Newcastle then, attached is the area I was waiting for the B5's to appear in, it's possible another route was taken to Norton (possibly A1027 then High Street) but every time I've ever done the X10 it's gone past the area I've highlighted and was unaware of any other potential routes into Norton.[Image: fe8a96f3616e27ea04868647a47b7e96.jpg]
