Have to say that short wheelbase ex-Saltwell Park streetlite in corp livery looks extremely smart. Without any advertisements on, it was absolutely gleaming the other night under the city's white LED streetlights passing along Market St. With the Theatre Royal behind it it would have made for a stunning pic if I'd been quick enough.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the short wheelbase streetlites get repainted.

I'm assuming the interworking at hownsgill will change to make sure all the correct buses interwork (unless that's why they are all Green)
Noticed the X30 stops at Stanley despite going on to Consett?

In fact, it's considerably slower and stops at many more stops than its X5 incarnation did.

(12 Jan 2020, 10:15 pm)Andreos1 Yup.
Think I've mentioned doing the Metro and 4, to connect with the last X1 at the Galleries. Done that a few times over the years.
Mind, it wouldnt have been any of use last night. According to GNE twitter feed, they cancelled the last through X1 with 10mins to go last night.
There was one 30mins later, but that was of no use to anyone needing to get beyond the Galleries.

For me, the main selling point of the smart mirrors is not being knocked out by the wing mirrors as the bus is pulling up to the stop!
