Back then my dream job was to become a bus driver... however never got that far.
Anyway, reason for my input is to say I've just caught site of a new decker going thru Prudhoe at around 5pm, on the 10 service to Hexham. Wish I had been a few seconds earlier at coming out of the shop and I would of got a great view, however unfortunately it was well along the road by the time I noticed. Well I presume it was a new double decker it had all the new livery from what I could see.
Also not certain but im sure a a new decker was following me up A69 earlier today towards Hexham, I presume it was being delivered to Hexham, again it was a little way back to be certain and I could only see from my rear view mirror.
Cheers.
Yup, highly likely. By 2pm or so, the B9s replaced the majority of the vehicles on the 10/10A service. Only those that were down at Hexham when the replacement process was in place may not have been replaced.
Again, also likely. I was told they're all ready, so it would only seem right for those that didn't make it out in service to be delivered to their rightful depots.
