Today I travelled on 6 buses, three of them were Versas (6, 12A and X85) for journeys Whickham to Metrocentre, Blaydon to Newcastle and Newcastle to Denton Burn. I like Versas. For Whickham I got the X31 and the journey was much better. As usual the 74 was an Optare Solo, and Solos are not the best.
Hopefully the 684 will get upgraded in the future.
One bus per hour is not a good level of service.
