Percy Main need extra branded buses for the route due to constant breakdowns.

Is it the Citaro's that are breaking down? The bendy ones on the 58 are really unreliable, although saying that, the 'rigid' that used to be on the 58 were very reliable.

Mainly the Omnicities so I'm told.

I rode route 73 on July 25th and wondered who was running it. Now I know, and had the honour of riding an operator on its last legs as it were.

It was both Connect and Go North East, they each ran one bus.

All changes pencilled in for October 28th as quite clearly stated in the consultations.

The changes that are to take place on the 28th October are only for the Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton and Sunderland areas, as well as the 15/15A, 'Diamond' and 143.
