Knowing you live in Washington, I (correctly) guessed you stood a chance of using services 4, 56 or X1 (ie one of the main services in the area) to go to work. All of these will be affected, especially the 56 and X1, as, until approximately 17:00, buses will run between Gateshead Interchange and Newcastle via Gateshead Interchange and Newcastle via Prince Consort Road, Askew Road, Redheugh Bridge and St. James’ Boulevard to Westmorland Road, Neville Street, Clayton Street West to Westgate Road (Carling Academy).
Well the dual-door Volvo B10BLEs aren't DDA-compliant so these either have to be modified to become DDA-compliant or alternative vehicles will have to be sourced...
Not straight away when changes happen though, i would imagine this will be done with new vehicles, which i doubt will start arriving the next month or so but hopefully before 1.1.16!
Unless they're getting 2nd hand vehicles, probables be from London....
We also have the OmniDekka's from Brighton heading up soon...
