(27 Nov 2013, 5:10 pm)Ely1992 Is it just me or does the X40 not justify having bendy buses, Everytime i pass one, it has about 3 people on it.

I was at the NHS offices doing some consultancy work today and I know there's a joint complaint going in about the reliability of the X40 from numerous businesses around the site. It's apparently far far worse than Arriva ever were

It probably doesn't, but I believe the contract was won on the soul basis that Go North East could operate it with articulated vehicles.

Contractual requirement. It may not justify it, but if that's what the customer is paying for that's what they get.

More than likely 6021/24/34/35 to Gateshead to replace 3811/19/20/27 then 6037/38/40/41 to Stanley to replace 3813/14/21/22, then 3803/3859 can replace 3815/16 at Percy Main with the arrival of two Northern Geminis.

6020: Deptford to Stanley
6021: Crook to Gateshead
6024: Crook to Gateshead
6034: Crook to Gateshead

6040: Crook to Stanley
6041: Crook to Stanley

3815/3816 withdrawn from Percy Main
3811/19/20/27 withdrawn from Gateshead
3813/14/21/22/23 withdrawn from Stanley

6021, 6024, 6035 & 6037 are the best of the 7 crook have so will probably end up at gateshead. Not forgetting crook also have 6038 for use on the spennymoor to fram college duplicate, which i'm led to believe will remain at crook.

Crook will probably get a scania from deptford as a spare single deck.
