Nice to see a 4 pot heap of ***** doing the rounds on the X10 on the A19 judging by the video, whilst a few people are probably well spread out enjoying a double seat from the Harry Clasper or Dunston Monument.....with more than double the off peak capacity pre Nov 2019.

GNE need to address this ASAP! Martijn said on the video "right bus for right route". Fair enough excuses back then for the eventual Sept 2021 and Jul 2022 changes.....but not now when changes could be made to address the Ellison Road bridge issue and allocate the Enviros to work where actually needed!

No wonder GNE's engineering is in trouble if Riverside are needing to throw anything they can find on the X10 (with not enough cover / rotation).....and Consett are having to pull out an E200MMC or StreetLite to cover the X30/X31/X32 or X70/X71/X73 also bearing in mind still not enough 'newer' vehicles to cover the X45!
