was going to put this in it's own thread but since its technically Stagecoach I'll stick it here...

Why does Newcastle--Gateshead have such horrific City Sightseeing buses? Just about every town/city I've been too has a decent modern-ish bus yet come to Newcastle and we'll throw you on a H reg banger (and if your lucky Go Ahead will have put one of their luxurious yellow buses on if you got the bus from the ferry!)

They do seem to get decent usage but its a shame the quality of the stock is so bad
