Seen one of the Cobalt & Coast' B9's looking lost of the A693 at Stanley this morning displaying 'route learning' 

Any ideas what it was doing?

Quite alot of frequent service changes going on atm with GNE it seems, all being 2 months apart from each other

Has 5241 been withdrawn as its parked in Riverside next to 5234 with its front panel removed?

With talk about the 78 going back to Consett depot in exchange for the Chester locals and Cathedral buses... with the 8 apparently remaining at Chester Le Street, splitting it from the 78, wonder how the timetable will work out?, hopefully not many time changes on the 8.

Not sure if this was mentioned but:

Just a few queries regarding the NSA, is there a reason why the Cobalt B9s have both LCD and LED display upstairs?
Also, would it be possible to add a clock to the LCD displays? There seems to be plenty of room left over and it would be rather handy to know the time!

Just seen X9/X10 streetdeck being towed on A1231. It was parked near Vantec. Couldn't get the number though. I presume it was going to Newcastle.

Having Scania Omnicities run around on the X30 on an evening seems completely counterproductive to trying to create a premium brand.

Appreciate it may only be a couple of journeys but diluting your own premium brand for me is a no no.

Its the same as Sunday, and not having the X-Lines buses out on the route they are supposed to work on.

I'm hoping once the rest of the Xlines buses arrive this may change around with interworkings.

For me its a of a slap in the face for some customers. and for me doesn't make me want to not drive and get the bus into Newcastle if I know on the way home I'm going to have to sit on a bus with less features and the suspension of an old roller coster. 

If its a premium service, keep it premium 7 days a week for all customers - Not just the 9-5 Mon-Fri lot. 

I know there's many counter arguments for this, saving money, less customers etc, but some of these points stand.

Really hope this changes in the future.
