I've been holding on to these suggestions for a while but i think these might gain a few passengers. 
Also, I originally designed these timetables for a fictional independent I was going create.

So as discussed in the thread regarding fleet allocation changes to the X9/X10, it looks like 6352-55 are going to be allocated on the X9/X10. Furthermore, it's still unknown whether or not the frequency will change meaning that the X9 gets dropped and only the X10 runs covering both routes. If the latter does happen, a suggested re-shuffle (although requiring repaints) would no doubt bring some stability to the network and actually deliver reliability improvements as well as still providing spares too for Euro 6. The suggestion would depend whether or not the Consett Evening & Sunday interworking patterns could be altered and by the looks of it unless I've missed anything out, it appears they could.

Here's the official thread for all future upcoming service changes that may or may not happen in the next 300 years or so.

A thread for every upcoming service changes.

Apparently 2 400MMC's are in the base livery for the X9 and X10 due to the Coaches not being a reliable recovery to the services.
May not be true but this is being rumoured

Been tracking on 42D a few days now.

Demonstrator LX71AOS has been spotted at Stockton depot. Comments on the Facebook post on the "Busesnortheast" page indicate it'll be on the 15s after Christmas.

Posting with permission of Dan - thank you.

I run 5 quizzes a week and need help! I'm compiling a family fortunes style round. I would love it if you could spare one minute of your time and filling in the survey.

You have to register - and you will then be sent a link to the quiz. You never know you might find quizzes on the subject that you enjoy or even put a quiz on yourself.

Thus sure us legit - it was even mentioned on GMB by Anne off the chase.

Caetano H2.City Gold demonstrator FJ70GYD was spotted on Portrack Lane, Stockton earlier (having seen previous use with Stagecoach Highlands among others)

Anybody know who is using it?
