In doing so, it would push the PVR up to 4, hence explaining the 4 different colours the Volvos are getting (complementing the 4 malls at the Metrocentre)

(28 Jul 2021, 7:45 am)omnicity4659 It does appear that the plate "BU54 MCE" has been purchased for 5504, as it's no longer available on the DVLA Personalised Registrations website.
With the X66 being every 10 mins according to the branding, an extension out to Asda might be happening...?

(28 Jul 2021, 9:43 am)Train8261 What the difference between the 1A/1B (apart from the running times) do they follow the same route cause If they do. Wouldn't it be easier to run the 1A/1B as one full service and renumber it back to the 1

(28 Jul 2021, 11:14 am)Adrian I can't see GNE commercially serving the car parks again to be honest. Whenever I used the S1 or the X66 extension, I was generally the only one on the bus. Same with the old ASDA free bus that ran years ago.
There's alternatives on Hollinside, Marconi Way and Scotswood View, if anyone doesn't fancy the walk from the main centre.

(28 Jul 2021, 12:16 pm)Ambassador Ikea sold 12.4 billion euros worth of home ware and furniture last year.
Tho l'd imagine an uber/cab more cost effective than a bus if there's more than one of you shopping (or even Ikea's home delivery service).

It seems to me like they've been rolling out the changes gradually by area rather than having one big timetable change.
I don't remember it being like that in the past, but then again I can't even remember what I had for breakfast!
