This is the same service numbering as used by TGM Classic but for some reason the Durham County Council timetable uses the 701 etc numbering. I guess that DCC and Scarlet Band need to agree how the numbering should be allocated. My proposal would be to stick with the 8** numbering.
Ive been in touch with Scarlet Band, and there said that DCC changed the bus service numbers at the last minute, but Scarlet band wasn't told about the change of service numbers, supposed to be recitfyed in a few days time of using the 700 number series.
A good result, the Scarlet Band bus is displaying service 701 on its destination board this morning. DCC still have some work to do as the illuminated sign showing next bus on top of the bus shelters still shows 811 as does the paper timetable inside the bus shelter (based on Red Lion bus shelter).
