I think the major bug bear for me is the town services in Darlington all have Darlington in the larger font rather than Town Centre. I believe the fonts are outdated, the numbers should be in Arial, like GNE, the Sapphire services should be different to differentiate them from normal services. But that's just my personal opinion.

(11 Oct 2015, 8:28 am)buss14 wrote it has been noted not on hear but facebook that one of the ex london DLA buses from ashington will transfer to blyth to allow 7458 to be withdrawn. the ex DLA  will not be needed at ashington because of the dismiss of the 34.

(11 Oct 2015, 8:59 am)GX03 SVC wrote No, Ashington aren't transferring any buses, as there is still a vehicle shortage and I can't see it happening anyway. 7458 at Blyth is only temporary as all the Xs are getting MAX'd.

(12 Oct 2015, 5:46 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Temsas are all getting tested and taxed at present. Just waiting on seats I understand. Don't forget that 1404/5 are also taking priority given they need to be ready for two weeks time.

(13 Oct 2015, 7:45 am)GX03 SVC wrote As stated before;
2x Wright Gemini / Volvo B7TLs 7410/7411 refurbished at Thorntons for MAX services at Blyth
4x Wright Gemini / Volvo B7TLs [possibly] 7412/7413/7414/7415 refurbished at Arriva London's Enfield depot for MAX X20 at Ashington.

(13 Oct 2015, 7:58 am)Kuyoyo wrote Nothing has been started yet that both 7410/1 are for Blyth. Only one of them is destined for Blyth. Given the X20 has a PVR of 4, I'd expect whichever one of these two doesn't end up at Blyth will end up at Ashington as the X20 spare rather than stretching the already low MAX spares at Ashington.
