Anyone know/have an idea why a Green Arrow example was chosen to run the service? I was surprised to see it at Haymarket Bus Station, never thought a different bus would be on. Every Saturday I checked and it was the same buses, yesterday I didn't check and had given up hope of seeing a different bus after months of hoping to see a few different buses on.

Just for curiosity sake, would the driver have possibly let me off along Ponteland Road yesterday? My ticket was valid for the journey, but the first stop was Ponteland Main Street, where I wouldn't have been able to go.

The NHS Hopper contract service will run from Percy Main now instead of Riverside, as Percy Main are better placed for driving staff. As such 5499 and 5500 have transferred to Percy Main.

The 96 now interworks with the 49 (due to the temporary frequency reduction on the 97) and as such there is a surplus of Green Arrow E200s - hence being allocated to the X75 yesterday.
