The "every day" part on 3941 (under "every hour") seems to clash quite badly too - unless it's just bad lighting in the few pictures online?

As much as I like this livery style, on the lighter colours like on the Geminis, they should have used a colour font that contrasted more with the background as the white is difficult to read.
On the plus side, least 3942 doesn't look like it's dragging its rear end around now.

(07 Sep 2021, 9:07 pm)Dan Metrocentre Shuttle is for X66yes good promotion anyways, but especially since Stagecoach 100 is still suspended due to shortage of drivers. At this rate people will get soo used to using GNE they maybe might not go back to Stagecoach, unless they are connecting from stagecoach as it'll be cheaper.
Metrocentre Express is for X22
(Because that’s what they are…!)
And there will be some increased promotion of the ‘Metrocentre Link’ on all the services which provide a service approx up to every 5 min between Newcastle and Metrocentre (6, 10/A/B, 47, X45/6).

Despite the frankly, revolting, mustard brown smeared panels on the interior of 3941, it felt like a massive upgrade from the awful omnideckers that used to be regular on the X22, when I caught it, last week.

Had 3941 on the X21 today and I must say it was a lovely ride. Suspension is nice and smooth, it was relatively rattle free, and sound of the engine was quite relaxing.
I did notice it's got speakers in the ceiling but no NSA system, what's the story behind that?

When new for the X10, the buses also used to play either Metro FM or TFM.

(22 Feb 2022, 1:27 pm)Omega54 I don't think so why paint 2 buses create timetables for a service which lasted 2 months.Well there is that... But it tended to be the patter they used when a vaguely useful new service was introduced and then withdrawn a few months later.
