(28 Aug 2014, 3:23 am)Andreos Constantopolous Dunno if it is because it is still far too early, but I haven't got the foggiestThe McDonalds thing is fairly recent (it's happened at some point this month). I know Stagecoach has had that deal for donkeys on and off, but GNE have always had something red on the back of their tickets.
It has taken them a while, but they have got there in the end.
Sat there with the iPad and surfed away to my hearts content.
Quite fast, no lag and no dropping out.
On a different note, GNE have adverts/coupons for a £1.99 McDonalds meal on some of their tickets. I imagine more vehicles will see them introduced over the next week or so.
No idea how long the offer has been on, but haven't seen it mentioned on here previously.

Never bothered reading the small print but I think the one at the Wheatsheaf in Sunderland is a drive thru and I use them there all the time.

(27 Aug 2014, 4:49 am)Dan Yes, but we still need some at Deptford for services 99 and 238, until such a time comes whereby their loadings justify the use of a midi-sized vehicle.

(28 Aug 2014, 8:37 am)Acky81 Can't be that fussed as they gave away 547 to saltmeadows. 99 is coping ok with larger buses as I witnessed yesterday it was busy. I saw a solar on 238 at ryhope which begs the question how's that get round northlea at Seaham then I saw a solo nexus bus on 38 at lunchtime at tunstall bank est. bigger buses should be on the 38 not 238. Why this interworks is beyond me!!
Seeing a small 38 did remind me of the old 141 round TBE

No connectivity on 6051's wifi since I connected at Wrekenton, all the way to Deckham, by which time I'd gave up. Managed to connect fine, and accepted the terms when prompted. Tried to run a speed test which also reported network issues.

(28 Aug 2014, 4:54 pm)tyresmoke Used to have dates on the ticket rolls but now I notice they state 6 weeks from the issue of the ticket itself. They tend to appear every now and again at our depot but doesn't seem to be any pattern to it?
