It occurs to me that, when I am in the Gateshead/ Newcastle area, I may on the Sunday feel like riding routes that are on Sundays run by Go North East instead of another operator (or vice-versa). Do feel free to list some of the main examples here, thanks!

I think it is only the 32/32A (Newcastle - Heaton - Newcastle) operated jointly with Arriva!

Hope this helps.

Thanks W179, I can still ride this route. I think I have seen a pic of an 03-reg MAN on this route operated by Stagecoach. It will be a blessing in disguise not to have to ride too many Sunday routes, because I plan to ride Grand Central between Sunderland and Northallerton on the Sunday to keep the other days free for plenty of other buses.

No problem!

The 32/32a are usually operated by R-reg DartSLF's, that is actually a rare working.

'Northern' branded Cadet NK54NKT was on the M3 today.

Noticed that at least one of the solars have received their new loop branding. Unsure of the fleet number of the vehicle. The branding is a pink and white circular swirl pattern. Didnt manage to catch a photo of it

Also noticed that bendy 5341 has received a new style branding to the rear in support of the Olympics.

Not sure if the other X66 bendies also have this added?
