(28 Mar 2017, 6:51 pm)G-CPTN wrote 'Arriva' livery double decker on 685 through Corbridge towards Carlisle today - too far away to ID and I can't remember the time - middle of the day . . .
Of course, the 602 (which became the TEN) used to run DDs, but the 685 runs from Newcastle along A69 through Hexham to Carlisle.
I wonder if it was busy today?
It was mentioned recently that Arriva has converted one of the boards on service 685 from single-deck to double-deck (interworking with a scholars service).
I would hope that, if this is to become a permanent thing, Arriva will paint the 'decker in Cross Pennine livery. The recent joint re-branding of the service seems a little pointless, otherwise.
