Still better than an Omnicity if you ask me. much prefer an ominicity over that bus RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - Davie - 05 Oct 2015 (05 Oct 2015, 5:53 pm)Diamond One wrote much prefer an ominicity over that busI have to disagree. The best bus I have ever had on the 9 was 6030 which says a lot.

With all types of buses there are good onces and bad onces. Dual door onces tend to be the worst onces. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - S813 FVK - 05 Oct 2015 4982 made an appearance on the X43 today: ![]() I have chose to post it in this thread rather than the one that would seem most relevant based on the fact that it may generate a bit more discussion causing the thread to go off topic. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - L469 YVK - 05 Oct 2015 Don't think the new 22 is going to be much of a threat to the 309 / X39 although it could affect the 1 judging by the times. However, judging by the loadings of the 310 tonight from North Shields towards Newcastle (both short runs to Norham Road and full runs to Newcastle), I think GNE will end up doing the following to fully protect themselves from the 22. Like what Arriva do to the 306 by cutting the full westbound route to every 30 minutes during Monday to Friday afternoons, I think they might end up doing that with the 310 and using the half hourly vehicles to provide more buses between Cobalt and Newcastle during peak times.
