But it doesn't seem like they've got a lot of contract work to do, they've only got the 82/30/31/701 for single deckers. They still have a few schools

LK09 EOD has been repainted red recently as last time I saw it was white

(24 Oct 2022, 6:41 pm)busmanT wrote Definitely red for service buses (although there seem to be a couple of different shades) and gold for coaches.
Seems a sensible move.

Just to be clear the 2 bus stops I am talking about is the ones on Hylton Rd between Clanny House and ALDI. Yes they are close together. But what business is it of the drivers if I got off the second one...? It is a bus stop and I have the right to use it.

For context I came back from York early in the morning and had to go straight to University, so still had my big bag with me as well as My legs have been hurting quite a bit.

I'm not sure whether I should complain due to the attitude (which had no reason for as he wasn't even late), the fact he was rude to other passengers or using every chance to use the horn. The 701 is 9-2 (roughly) so the day can't have been that bad to take it out on passengers by 1030.

Temsa MD9 OTP 392, OY19 NLL/M
Volvo B11RT/Plaxton Elite i YX15 OVF
Volvo B9R/Caetano Levante FJ60 HXY
Irizar i6 WSU 486 (not sure on previous reg)
Mercedes Benz Sprinter JH67 COM
Scania/Higher Touring JH18 COM (not sure on previous id's of these two either)

(11 Feb 2023, 10:44 pm)N391OTY wrote Jim Hughes out in force today on Metro replacements from Haymarket to Regent Centre and Four Lane Ends. Of particular note, I saw two yellow Scania Omnicity deckers, VNP 893 and YSV 815, also white decker TVE 804 with Tamar Coaches (Plymouth) fleetname on the front. Not sure but possibly Scania Omnidekka ?

(30 May 2023, 2:46 pm)Busu284 wrote Takes 30 minutes to Cramlington according to the timetable. Could use coaches tbh alongside deckers

(30 May 2023, 4:38 pm)Dan wrote They can't use coaches - the contract requires low-floor double-deck buses which are mincap84.
