I've just noticed they didn't update the Angel Night Bus logo on the timetable, it still says it's an electric hybrid.
I also wonder if now the timetable has the new livery, the tables on board will too. It still annoys me every time I sit at the race track table and don't see a Streetdeck on the Angel

(16 May 2019, 4:31 pm)Dan If I was deaf or blind, I'd hope that an audio/visual aid wouldn't be incorrect, which of course is the alternative if everything cannot be set up in time. Arriva North East tend to go for that option I have found, which I personally don't think is the best option for passengers who are visually impaired.
It is of course just a temporary solution... With over 50 buses transferring between depots this weekend, via points making a return to the destination displays, as well as timetables making a comeback (and lots of other things going on too), I'm sure you'll appreciate something has to give.

With corporate double deckers on the X5 today, is it right to assume the Citaros are getting repainted?
They must have been in a rush when making these new timetables, the 11, 55 and 57 have a misspelling (well a missing space) at the bottom of the second page

“Hundreds call for ‘essential’ Sunderland bus route to be saved as Go North East service set to be scrapped at weekend”
Some people aren’t happy about the 36 service being cancelled, it reports there are almost 600 signatures at time of the articles release.

(17 May 2019, 7:52 pm)Michael How many of those 600 people, use the 36 Monday to Saturday, or actually use the service at all?
I bet half of those signatures are from people who don't even use it...
I use the 36 but it all depends on what time i start and finish work, so some days i use it and some days i don't so i won't be signing it....
If a route isn't making a profit, it won't survive....
passenger numbers on the route are too low for it to be kept in its ‘current form’.

Not sure you've worked that one out correctly, Andreos.
The old secured section of the 238 which was taken on commercially on a trial basis, between Hall Lane and Barnwell, has been replaced by the resurrected 79 service which has been awarded to JH Coaches under tender. The re-routing of the 71 via Burnside Estate has nothing to do with the 238?
The 71 being routed via Burnside Estate makes up for the loss of the 36 in this area - so this still maintains four buses per hour (with the 35) between here and Houghton-le-Spring.
Those travelling between Fencehouses Front Street and Dairy Lane are few and far between I suspect, but anyone doing this journey can still do it by riding through Houghton-le-Spring on service 4 (which is more frequent than service 36 anyway). If people don't want to ride through, then they could always walk to Chilton Moor (hardly a massive distance) to catch services 35 or X20 which will serve both stops on Dairy Lane like the 20A and 36 do at the moment.

(18 May 2019, 8:43 am)Andreos1 Ah the old 'trial' basis line. They haven't used that one for a while. How long was this 'trial'? It seems its been a couple of years. That's a canny trial!
I appreciate the numbers travelling between the sections now not served by the 71 following the axing of the 36, may be small. However it certainly inconveniences those boarding in those areas and travelling beyond. They now need to change buses and potentially incur increased costs through higher fares.

(18 May 2019, 8:55 am)Michael H1 has gone the same, its now up for a contracted service, from 21/7/2019 because they aren't making any money on it, which i think we all knew it wouldn't.
H1 was began on 28th January 2018
