Yeah, normally don't expect horns and beeps as they tend to be unexpected. But I don't mind them.

Really no need but sure thing.

I've been here way too much aswell.

Hello!!!

Omg so sorry i didnt see this comment. Anyways, I did try to get most of them but some here are already discontinued (335,351,359.) But since ive done this video three times im not doing it again unless absolutely wanted by over 10k people.

@@FusionZenFlame No worries. But I just want to quickly ask what your thoughts are about the idea of the routes I've mentioned (5, 9, 24, and 26) being routes for South Tyne Rockets.

@@thomashughes4977 that would be cool. But I've gone over with another friend of mine what some standard GNE routes should be branded as. I can run you down through some of them in my next reply if you want???

@@FusionZenFlame Yes, please. I'd love to hear them

@thomashughes4977 Ok. Rough ideas here I'll just name routes and assign them to brands then give a little info after... ----------------------------------------------------------- Tyne Valley 10/10a/10b - I would make the 12 join this, as it runs along scotwoods road and goes to blaydon. Yes it may not fit well, but it does run along the Tyne a bit. ----------------------------------------------------------- I completely Agree with what you said on 5,24,26,9. You could also add the 35 to that. ----------------------------------------------------------- Country Ranger 8, 78. This one seems very broad with where you can go with this. ----------------------------------------------------------- I would personally add the 6 (goes to Stanley the longest way possible) the 25 (goes everywhere), 28 and 29 to this brand... Most of them do fit alongside each other considering most of these go through the countryside on most of their route. Extra note: 28,29 could have their own separate brand. I considered Beamish Explorer but maybe a colour with Beamish makes a little more sense. Red Kite Ranger 47. Personally this is a hot TAKE but. I'm more of a fan of X lines buses. I would personally bring back the X47. But just make it go direct Metrocentre to Central station. With it skipping some stops between Blackhall mill and Consett so it doesn't seem like the original route. ----------------------------------------------------------- 51/52/93/94 - Really bad take. I would merge all 4 of these route to one brand, cause they do technically run together in one vehicles full day run.... ----------------------------------------------------------- 57, once suggested this could join with 58 to be east Gateshead rider since this one literally does the same thing. This might annoy some other buspotters lol. ----------------------------------------------------------- 49/49a/96 could all merge into one brand, haven't decided on what. These all run together aswell.... You could even suggest adding 67 and 69 to this somehow. This wasn't my idea. I just found it a little logical. ----------------------------------------------------------- North Tyne Rockets, this whole brand has fell apart but. I would add the 317 to this, which I suggested when GNE first took over this back from stagecoach. I'm surprised it's unbranded. Also a time where I suggested getting rid of the Coaster 1 brand but that can stay. I always wanted to hear "This is the North Tyne Rockets 317 service to Whitley bay/Wallsend...." ----------------------------------------------------------- Anyways that's all I can think of right now. Lemme know your thoughts.

I was there for quite awhile to be fair, and I did see some other bus people whilst I was there.

Come and say hi next time you see me around😂

Highlighted in the video title and the description.

@@FusionZenFlame OK thanks

Yeah I know, I think it is cool tbh!

@@FusionZenFlame fr they should make one for 57 maybe the red one should be 57

That actually doesn't seem that bad of an idea.

I normally hate the 354 now cause it's basically a slower version of the 307. I use the 307 on a daily basis.

@@FusionZenFlame Since GNE gained the 354 back in September 2023 from Arriva where it was 54, The Reliability of the route has been way higher than it was under arriva. When it was arriva, there was frequent cancellations.

​@@CamsTransportNever knew about that... When all the rockets were Arriva I only ever used the 51 as the 351 to this day is one of my local routes...

Half the time it's a mix between the red normal one, the coaster and the North Tyne rockets buses on the 4 rocket routes. They like to mix them up...

Your lucky to even get staff interaction at times! 😂 I barely get any most times....

Why

The route takes way too long to get to the metrocentre cause of course it covers an old route.... If it went direct to Metrocentre from Gateshead I could literally use it from near my home...

What if I need to go from Percy main to Metrocentre

@@lindsaynapier5510 Oh yeah that's a bit awkward.

@@lindsaynapier5510 Metro to Gateshead and change onto X66.... Or Metro to Monument and get either 6,10,10a, 10b, 47 or X45 from either Eldon square or Newgate street.

I knew you would comment eventually. 😂 Anyways I'll be heading to many stations over the next couple of weeks. Edit - If you would want to know it will be a few stations around Tyne And Wear and some in County Durham.

Want to Trainspot somewhere again sometime?

Date of filming/ When the video was filmed.

Bombardier M5000 I think is the actual tram model

Thanks! :D

I've ridden both the X30/X31 on their whole route.

@@FusionZenFlame i did the whole 307 today i dont really like the cobalt & coast buses very little leg room streetdecks are the best

@@RyanLowe2022 yeah

11:00

Edit and 50 Marsden bay!

Well the 5a, I only tried the once to get and it was successful. The 24 and 307 were easy ones since I get them often. I mean considering the 307 is one of my local routes there was no way I was gonna miss that one😂

@@FusionZenFlame haha

Apparently that is what someone said to me. They are apparently switching some of the brand colours around😂😂😂 Even though I wish the X21 had the blue ones. I'm still happy the X20 get the doubles they deserve.

@Kingeta Whatever they are doing, I hope they made the right choices with any vehicle switches in general.

@Kingeta yeah that makes sense, only problem is i dont think they actually have enough green streetdecks cos they gave so many to manchester

@Kingeta still, doesn’t seem to be enough as there’s a lot of ex london B9s on it

I wonder If the xlines x5/15 will get new buses

Yes, for just about every stop as well. Although for newer routes sometimes they will need to be added first.

Hahahaha

Hiiiii

Thank you!

Thanks Man! :D

Im not giving my hopes up though.

Already back in service. It ended up being 5 not 12

Yeah, that route is just awkward to do full stop.
