(11 Jan 2015, 3:10 pm)Malarkey I wear Glasses when I am watching TV etc at Home but other than that I never wear them, I would think if I did wear them whilst out and about I may see an improvement in what I can read from a Distance.

That may well be the case as I do not need to wear mine for driving etc but I wear them all the time and it definitely helps

The customers on the TTX make such an ordeal on Twitter of the X9/X10 - you'd think they were on the bloody Titanic!

I think both are classed as public transport.

(31 Dec 2014, 4:46 pm)Dan It's the 58 and X66 which share 5389 and 5390.
On Saturdays when the PVR of the X66 increases to 5, one of those should be allocated (when they aren't required for the Citylink).

If/when the "Prince Bishops" services receive investment, twenty branded vehicles would be ordered and two or three corporate liveried spares of the same specification would also be ordered.

What was the routes that were scheduled to get double decker's at the same time as Red Arrows and Tyne Tees Express, but then didn't receive them?

Usually a red Versa acts as an additional vehicle for X66 on Saturdays.

Presuming you were told this today, that's old news now! Tongue

Chances are he is just speculating. When I have passed conversation with a driver, they have often said after explaining I was an enthusiast - that we often know stuff weeks in advance, before they find out.

EDIT: Just come back to me whilst posting, when the OmniCities started to arrive at Chester for the 50, one driver said he got a shock when he saw one in the depot, he hadn't been expecting it at all.

All the bendies should be gone by Sunday/Monday. (Citaro confirmed this) replaced with rigid  (is that the right word?) buses.

X40 will be replaced by Q3 in July, rumoured atm to run every 20 mins but interworking with the Q2 which will be reduced to every 20 mins. (Not confirmed but rumoured)

I'm expecting streetlites on the Lime... looking forward to seen what they get.

X66 will get new buses.

As for the rest no idea.


As for deliverys... Citaro comfirmed that these would arrive between March and May.

Nothing has yet to be confirmed Bazza in regards to Orders and will likely not be until New Vehicles start arriving at Saltmeadows, but it is expected that both the Lime Services and the X66 will receive New Buses, everything else you have been told about minus 5332 going into BR Livery is pure speculation from the Engineers, I would take this information with a pinch of salt.

I'd love to see Citaros on the Lime, but can't see it happening, so I reckon Streetlites.

Not sure about the 45/46 getting Streetlites though. I think it will be:

B5HL's for the Crusader - Mercs to 45/46/X70/X71, then Omnicities to 17 and possibly 67/69.
Streetlites for the Toon Link - B10BLE's withdrawn, B7RLE's to 95/96.
Streetlites to Lime - B10BLE's withdrawn.
Streelites to X66 .
Solos to North Tyne Links - MPDs withdrawn.
