[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 810033, member: 199791"] Well, if you're in the Arriva region (my condolences if you are), then no, you won't see them, they're owned by Go North East, and are used on routes around the toon... O-Ha Actually just looking up the X9/X10 route brings us vaguely on topic, cos that's the [I]Tyne Tees Express[/I], courtesy of Go North East, who like naming their routes, and having all the colours of the rainbow for their fleet colours... :-rofl2 I like GNE, they're a bit nice to deal with than Arriva, back in the day when United were still the main operator south of Durham, they were better, then the cream & turquoise nightmare muscled it's way in and the drivers they hired were very obnoxious and unprofessional, and still are today from the few I've been on since returning to Co. Durham, and still using the same buses they took over when they bought out United (well, aside from the Leyland Nationals, unless they're hiding those somewhere)... :confused: [/QUOTE]
