But it didn't seem to track on it way back to Newcastle. Wondering if it was a tracking issue or it broke down and East Yorkshire had to send a replacement up

n.b. you'll need to be a member of the 'North East Bus Enthusiasts' facebook group to view the photo, but Lee might be feeling generous and share it here too

(27 Jun 2021, 8:33 pm)ne14ne1 wrote Seeing it arrive into Newcastle with ‘The Gate via St Mary’s Place’ or ‘Newcastle’ on the screen, you’d assume it (X10 in this case) had came from Whitby/Scarborough and would be going back there. That’s what the route branding says. So no, the destination screen wouldn’t help in that case.

It’s only when the service number is included in the branding that is isn’t as confusing when they’re allocated to other services as the branding can then act as an advert for that vehicles usual route.

I actually quite like the simplicity of it
