Kinda related...the Nexus digital screens on Durham Road don't seem to able to cope with X21 and 21 on evenings and Sunday's.
They either show X21 or both X21 and 21 at the same time. I did raise this with Nexus but was told it's based on the info the operator provides which seems to be a cop out. Common sense not prevailing....well it's nexus

(12 Jun 2016, 10:30 pm)NK53 TKT A similar issue occurs at the Haymarket, passengers look at the destination on the board and it may say the number 51, this is much slower than the 308 or 309 for example. Sometimes however the numbers can be misleading. The 308 is faster than all the MAX buses Newcastle to Blyth

(12 Jun 2016, 10:39 pm)Kuyoyo BIB: No it's not - 308 is timed for 1 hour Blyth-Newcastle, 5 minutes slower than the X7/X9/X11 and 7 minutes slower than the X10. The only one it is quicker than is the X8 (1 hour 8 minutes). 308 actually takes 1 hour 3 minutes Blyth to Newcastle.

Prob get there even quicker as the driver will want to go home, or there's no passengers.
