It pees me off when my X21 is running late (per usual) and some Concessionary Pass holder goes upstairs. USE THE SEATS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR YOU! I PAY FARES, NOT YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL ....

(16 Mar 2015, 5:57 pm)Robert We aren't saying they don't. What we are saying is that it is maybe wrong to compare the 82 and X66 together just because the new buses won't be artics.

(16 Mar 2015, 6:00 pm)leestransportphotos I was just saying that they shove anything on the 82, a bit like the X66. I'm not comparing it in any other way

(16 Mar 2015, 6:04 pm)Tommy_1581 Erm... Probably because there is nowt branded to shove on the X66.

(16 Mar 2015, 6:04 pm)aureolin I don't think GNE would want a decker on those routes by choice, but I agree that it's taking the mick that it's still happening on a daily basis, almost two years later. I don't believe any of the Washington local routes interwork with scholars, so I'm not sure why it's still happening?

(16 Mar 2015, 3:06 pm)Dan 8293 was renowned for being rather unreliable. As has been mentioned, there was only two of these vehicles ever built, which made sourcing parts more difficult than usual resulting in longer periods off the road. Both 4845 and 8293 will be replaced by other vehicles when new vehicles enter service. Both vehicles are currently in storage at Saltmeadows Road pending disposal.

(16 Mar 2015, 5:29 pm)leestransportphotos I seriously can't believe Streetlites are being used on the X66! It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Don't GNE realise that during the school holidays those buses are going to be like sardines in a tinif you think thats bad try the old and current Soyuz Spacecraft that is cramped at anything on the inside the interior is so cramped it only holds 3 people
(16 Mar 2015, 5:41 pm)leestransportphotos Personally I just think it's a horrendous idea...... I can guarantee there will be 100's of complaints about them being to small. For years the X66 was a service kids used to love going on and looked forward to going on the 'bendy bus' it was GNE's 'signature' route but now it's just like the 82 for example! Shove anything on Ithey identified what vehicle to use as Dan previously quoted somewhere on the NEB Forum thus why a Citaro demonstrator and of course Go North East very own Drifter branded Streetlite 5375
(16 Mar 2015, 6:13 pm)leestransportphotos We could have a Solar on the 82

(16 Mar 2015, 6:12 pm)Dan Washington's spare vehicles on a Monday - Friday are made up as follows:
- 3x Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President
- 1x DAF SB120/Wright Cadet
- 2x Scania L94UB/Wright Solar
- 1x MPD
On a Saturday, all seven of Washington's Volvo B7TL/Plaxton Presidents are spare vehicles. This is why, on Saturdays especially, double deckers are commonly allocated to services 82/82A and 85/86, as there are so few spare minibuses or single deckers.
