Why does the X10 keep going down Marsh House Avenue in billingham on the evening and subday morning whats the point it doesnt stop there and noticed it going down Melrose Avenue???

I heard a driver says it goes down there at schooltimez to avoid traffic going other way down Wolviston Road but other then that I have no idea

Was on the A19 and saw the driver turn the passenger lights off again, whenever Ive been on the X10 its sometime happened and other times not, is this something that is actually allowed to happen, as I quite like it.

They can turn the nearside lights off (to reduce glare on the windscreen).

I was going to say, that's normally all I'd need to do to be fine even on a dark road, pulling the sun shade down helps with reflections too.

First thing I do when driving on a night is dim the offside saloon lights and turn the nearside ones off,

I know the X10 (and the suggested return of the X9) have been discussed to death elsewhere, but thought I'd try to keep it to the relevant thread. 

Saw an X10 heading north this morning. Wouldn't have long left Peterlee and displayed 'Bus Full'.

I appreciate they can't predict loading and whether or not a specific board will be more popular than anticipated, but I hope they reacted and sorted out relevant dupes across the day.

The X9 should be brought back - or at least increase the X10 half-houry NCL > Peterlee.

GNE don't have enough 'suitable' vehicles at the moment for an increase too.

6965 made it onto the X10 today if Bustimes is to be belived. 

Its clear that the MMCs can't manage a full day on the X10 now without a fault.

surely, as a business, with a busy service, they HAVE to do something to improve the current situation.

To be fair they can't do the Consett expresses neither. 

It's hard to say whether it's vehicle related though or engineering; Riverside, Consett and Washington have been a shambles for months now, as an understatement.
