(28 Jun 2021, 6:21 am)Dan But it shouldn’t have. Planning to fail if you say that you’ve got to put the route number on the livery of every bus ‘just in case’ it goes on the wrong route.

Call it planning to fail or call it having the foresight to plan for all eventualities. A route number wouldn’t take up much room.
I wasn’t talking about this Seasider coach alone. We all know branded buses end up on other routes from time to time, or on early morning services or on Sundays. It happens. Just a suggestion.

I'm guessing the 'livery' was an internally designed quickie?

I actually quite like the simplicity of it

Weren't people slagging off ANE for having Whitby and Scarborough plastered on the side of their X93 allocation?

Anyone who boards a bus solely on the colour of it, without asking the driver, looking at the front (or side, or back) probably deserves to end up in Middlesbrough

Apparently in early 2020 when 7609 was at Blyth GNE passengers were trying to board it thinking ot was  a 309 everytime it was on the 308, won't be surprised if the same happened when it returned in late 2020 with 7610.

(27 Jun 2021, 8:40 pm)Dan 7128 is branded for a service which runs daily, and is the only one of its type to be branded for it. It shouldn’t appear on other routes.

At the moment it runs daily but would it not be going back to being a weekend and bank holiday service in the autumn? Or will it not run at all during the autumn and winter months?

Due to extra popularity of our X11 Scarborough Seasider service today we’re sending an extra vehicle for customers waiting from The Galleries onwards. Please look out for a gold double decker coach provided by our friends
@jhcoaches that’s now on its way. Apologies for the delay.


X11 popular again today!

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

X11 being duped by 7152 from the Galleries this morning, running about 70 mins behind.
Good that they've managed to get a dupe out, but quite surprised it's required, given its not exactly a sunny day!

They should just have one based at Washington Depot or Galleries with a driver just incase. As ngl if the bus was 70 mins behind that would have ruined my day.

Also surprised it's that busy on a weekday as it seems like it's only normally a Saturday when they have to duplicate it.

I'd have given up by that point and gone somewhere else.
Not a chance I'm going to hang around the Galleries for 70mins.

Lessons learned I hope.

I tend to agree. It'll be close to 13.00 by the time it gets there, and it's time to come home at 17.45.

Good that the dupe has been deployed, but it really needs to be quicker.

A cheaper fix, could be looking at how many tickets have been pre-purchased and getting a bod down to the Galleries to check how many people are waiting for the X11. 
Communicate the numbers of heads back to control and take it from there.
