The Omnicity's don't have any " Air Conditioning" of the sort, Only the Cold Fan which blows Humid Air from outside around the vehicle, Thus can barely be felt.
Citaro's do indeed have Air Conditioning, Something which is Luxury in buses.

The 5 is rather less busy, and most of the day a Solo would cope on there. Probably gets busy passing Boldon School when the kids come out though.
5 Get's busy on the 2 trips that fit around School finishing times, Apart from that, During the daytime its decent with quite a few passes heading into Jarrow/Shields for shopping, Evening's are pretty much Dead to the point I don't get how it can be justified to run even the current Hourly Service.
