(15 Apr 2019, 4:33 pm)Michael Does anyone know where the red zone boundary ends near Penshaw?
Is it after or before?
I can't find anything on exactly where it ends, the map of the zones is useless.
6301 was receiving assistance from an Alpha Recovery truck earlier today in Bishop Auckland bus station.

Certainly the way the boundaries are coloured can cause confusion. Take for example the orange zone encompassing Ashington/Blyth and Alston and Allenheads. On the face of it that may not sound too bad as there are no direct buses without having to change and travel via 2 other zones. However, as I witnessed last week, a couple with Blue and Orange attempted to travel to Corbridge without the intermediate zone (cherry) The driver politely explained they required a 3 zone plus and showed the couple a map when they became argumentative. On the south side of the Tyne Valley the cherry zone will only take you 5 miles from Stanley Burn to Stocksfield Rail station, but an orange zone will cover you from there to Hexham and onwards to Alston/Allenheads/Bellingham/Haltwhisitle and Birdsoswald. Maybe the West Northumberland and Cumbria zone needs a look at with a different colour.

(16 Apr 2019, 6:06 pm)Michael Can you confirm where the Solo Sr's will go after they've been fitted with the USB's?
(16 Apr 2019, 6:29 pm)Dan There may be a few surprises in store...

(16 Apr 2019, 6:47 pm)Michael That's not good.... have a feeling a downgrade for the X5 to Solo's, so its on the same buses as the X6/X7, but X5 has USB and moving to Peterlee?
X5 Citaro's to move Consett to replace 5481-5485, moving them back their previous role.... meaning the omnicities are in a open role until the Scania's can be withdrawn in June.
