Happy 1st Birthday to the Electric Yutong E10's on the 53 & 54!

New Thread

anyone know what happedn with 5394, I believe it crashed around the pittington area.

It seems to be vandalism seems to be a major issues.

57's have been hit, 2 60's have, 1 got fixed then got a rock through the window the day of return, 35's. 
Normally its Houghton which is the worst for it.

Seems to be on the rise.

Does anyone know if these still have the awful interior. And whether it has been retrimmed or repainted. 

And if 8347 will be retrimmed & repainted?

Anyone know if the X9/X10 will be changed to single decker buses due to this. Or if really any double deckers should be operating especially ones which don't go through built up areas e.g 16A.

It might be of interest to people on here that there was a Westminster Hall debate on 'Provision of Bus Services in the North East', moved by Liz Twist MP for Blaydon. You can view it online here: https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde...96f700099e

A massive opportunity to get people onto public transport, as they're going from two sites with a lot of parking, to one with I guess not a lot. Lots of local journeys will turn into more typical commuter journeys.
