Are the leaflet racks at Park Lane and Gateshead Interchange still a thing or are they still like they were when they were first introduced, where half the time it wouldn't be out, and the other half of the time they'd be mostly empty?

Anyone know what the best chances are of getting the Consett/Stanley and Washington bus guides are, has anyone ever seen them on the long distance buses from these areas or would they just be carried on the Venture/Little Pinks
