Who would have thought it?

Really 8320-28 & 8339-46 are probably going to be branded, I know the 57 is with deckers, but what if it goes back to every 15 mins, are they going to be able to find double the amount of deckers.

They’re absolutely right, GNE go on about not having the funds to run services so we’re gonna slash your service and leave you stranded with 1 bph but will do paint job after paintjob? Atp i couldn’t care less if I’ve got a red kite ranger on the 60 or a quay city on the 12 as long as my bus turns up…

Sunderland and District needs scrapped. Blonde cherry violet gone
The 20 60 and 61 didn’t even make it. Do the right thing go north east and put all routes in corporate colours

(11 Sep 2022, 10:40 am)Drifter60 wrote I think the 39 only has the streetlites to help capacity with the recent temporary decrease to half hourly whereas it was every 15 mins. The graphite solos and XLINES Mercs are just temporarily withdrawn, aren’t they? Presumably when the next changes come in and if the 39 goes back to its every 15 minutes frequency, the solos will return.

(11 Sep 2022, 10:36 am)Unber43 wrote I think they'll be sent to Percy Main for the 41/41A and QuayCitys to Riverside for spares or maybe the 49.

I also wouldn't rule out the X20 not returning and the 20/20A moving to every 10 mins. With earlier 20A introduced Monday-Saturday.

Aswell the 57 going to every 20 mins. Theres nothing worse than a frequency reduction.

(11 Sep 2022, 11:43 am)Jack Gill wrote Wasn't the 57 always every 20 minutes anyways, but was then moved to every 15 to combine with another route along somewhere?
