(23 Oct 2023, 11:12 pm)Unber43 It was 9 when the 39B got first introduced. 

Now I think its 7 or 8, not including the two 33s


It’s 8 now, so the 7 Graphites plus 672 should be allocated to the 39/A/B.

Deptford’s three spare minibuses are currently 2x Peterlee Purple and 1x Little Pinks.

It’s a short-term measure. Eventually, they will be in fleet livery.

According to bustimes and the GNE app, 6116 is on the Tyne Valley Tens. This is untrue as I checked it yesterday as it passes where I live and it was 6081, someone has the wrong number on the ticket machine.

5804 and 5805 both on the 29. Presume the 29 is running from Riverside temporarily?

To be expected I guess I think passengers will happily get in a Ford fiesta if it has 21 on the front of it at this stage

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

Do you seriously expect allocations to be spot on? Considering it's the first day after 5 weeks, I think the most important thing is regaining the trust of customers not being petty over what bus is working what route.

No I don't... infact it was sarcasm and I'm not being petty, most importantly I don't use Go North East so i really couldn't give a shite, what turns up etc.

5388 on the 21. The load that got on it at Eldon Square could have been carried by a taxi, on arguably the flagship GNE route - a sign of what the strike has done to customer confidence perhaps?

I've seen it twice today and it's almost running like a dupe with a double deck alongside it which has had a healthy load.

More likely the ever present regulation issues with the Angel which are constantly exacerbated by Durham Road, the A1 and the Birtley Cycle Lane construction

Do agree that some services do seem lighter than normal but that could also be a wider economy piece!

Just seen a B9 flying up Peth Bank on the X5/X15, on diversion, Due to a crash in Lanchester.
