Another single ticket anomaly is the 10 and 11 in Sunderland. If you get on an 11 on Holmeside, you can't buy a ticket through to Fordfield Road (the ticket would run out at Phoenix Road where the turning circle is, and before the £2 fare I remember the ticket machine throwing an error if you selected £2.70 on Holmeside), but if you got on at the Willow Pond, you can go through (assuming the bus is, too)

It's the same in the Grangetown direction.

Seems a bit messed up, guess if you wanted to travel further you just got charged to Phoenix Road then just stayed on?

(I don't know the route so assuming this isn't some form of wacky journey doubling back on yourself for the sake of it)

I remember when they were allocated on the 16 Bus Station-Ecton Brook, they were 4 year old at the time, really good performers, i think just as i left they were being replaced, or capacity increased with ALX400's, was August 2010

School trip/private hire and it broke down.
Haven't been able to get it back out. 

Heard it could be there until at least the 6 weeks holidays.
