The 21 seems to be having similar problems. Two Durham bound and a Chester bound all pulled in to Gateshead together, followed by another Durham bound, some 5 mins later.

Oh and I can't see the Wireless SSID being broadcast on 6049 for info.


Are the snide comments necessary?

(20 Feb 2015, 12:26 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Possibly congestion in Newcastle City Centre. I haven't been out today, so I can't comment on what it's like there. But I have seen exactly this happen before.

(20 Feb 2015, 12:27 pm)aureolin wrote News to me. I've been there for the best part of two hours, and everything is flowing nicely. Usual at the Percy Street lights, but nothing out of the ordinary.

(20 Feb 2015, 12:32 pm)aureolin wrote I understand the concept of traffic congestion, but you're clutching at straws! I was curious to know if anyone had any factual information as to what's causing the delays.

On another note, is 6049 being tracked via AVL? Just struck me, as the social media team gave me an (accurate) ETA, rather than the usual "have you managed to travel yet?"

(20 Feb 2015, 2:14 pm)Robert wrote Yes. I think so. I don't see why he needs to make a special reply saying what he has done. I don't know what he expects to get from it...

(20 Feb 2015, 2:20 pm)Dan wrote Just ignore it?

(20 Feb 2015, 4:02 pm)Racer_Experience wrote i got a feeling 4970 is getting branded right now can you confirm this Dan got all but that one

(20 Feb 2015, 4:06 pm)Dan wrote I'm not sure about that, Bazza, as I haven't been in Sunderland since 7am this morning.

I have been told that 8324 has returned to Deptford following repaint,

(20 Feb 2015, 4:14 pm)Racer_Experience wrote probs be out soon more than likely either tomorrow or next few days probs Monday as Sunday services happen on Sundays and the PVR of all services decreases eg lets just say 88 uses 9 buses they would probs use 5 on a Sunday as 88 only runs 

(20 Feb 2015, 4:28 pm)Michael wrote Really?, wow thanks for the info! 

(20 Feb 2015, 4:35 pm)Tom wrote To be fair, I don't think there is any need for that?

I can understand when he is posting irrelevant information, but he is only saying that the PVR on Sundays decreases? If anyone else was saying that I doubt they would get a sarcastic reply back?

(20 Feb 2015, 4:37 pm)Michael wrote Its a joke.... why can't people be happy!

(20 Feb 2015, 4:41 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Anyway.......(before this divides the forum like Newcastle vs Sunderland! ) - any idea which Mercs over at Deptford are still VOR? Was it 5303 that was mentioned to be off for a bit, any improvements?

(20 Feb 2015, 4:42 pm)Tom wrote Not sure, think I'm going to head over that way tomorrow, so I'll let you know what ones I see/don't see. 
Seems to have been a lot of Solars on the 35/36 lately though...
