Yes 5808 was involved in a accident a few days ago

All you get is 'Next Stop' but then silence. They seem to start working again once you get onto Gosforth High Street.I noticed that between St Peter's and Haymaket too with all stops exept the Quayside Guild Hall & Haymarket

They aren’t.

I was in Eldon Square recently and their was 2 Quay-Cities parked up, there has got to be a better place to park them up other than Eldon Square for upto 5 hours.
Parking Spaces in Eldon Square are already bad enough with Arriva.

Will the Q3 take a different route along the quayside with the junior great North run on tomorrow? If so what route will it take?

Is that not what the parking spaces are there for?

There isn't that many and Arriva often share the spaces so it isn't that feasible to be parking buses up that long (if you get what I mean)

The one I was on earlier had working visual announcements but no audio announcements. Just said ‘Next stop.’ and ‘This is.’
No stop names and no route name/number/destination announcement.

The brand names used on these things is basically irrelevant. There's so much silver and black, that's all you see at the roadside, up close and at a distance.
The yellow stripe stands out in the daylight, but I'm guessing the short shelf life of QuayCity and the general shit show that GNE's approach to branding these last few years means that won't be meaningful for 99% of punters.
The neon certainly stands out, but what use that actually is, is not clear, given the ongoing ambiguity of what these colours signify, be that a route or a power source.
The whole thing seems daft at a time when I thought GNE was getting back to corporate or network level branding.
But I guess if its really true that X-lines = rapid long distance then Red/Gold/Silver X1Q1 VoltraKiteRider is an issue for 2030 or beyond.
