When they pass they sound like there gonna break down. At least give them Scania Decker's Or Citaros. Something different than the solos. The solos would work better on services that they are required on. Like shuttle services or something else

The 11 used to do well when it went to the Metrocentre, and personally i thought it suited 'Blue Arrow' better than 'Little Coaster', i also remember when the R19 (19) used to be every 15 mins,what i dont get though is the 42/42A ran perfectly fine,even with the 22/22X, the 22/22X were extended to the Cobalt in October 2015, the 42 was renumbered from 80 and the 42A is what was the short 42's and were extended to Kingston Park to replace the 353,so for 4/5 years it wasnt really a problem,but tbh none of it really matters, the North Tyneside network will never be sorted,not unless they want to roll back 20 years
