Indeed in regards to Brightechs, regularly used to see Lynxs and B10Bs at Stockton running about with '58' stuck onto the front of the display glass cos their Brightech wasn't working. Never seen a MAN, Plaxton-bodied Volvo B10M or Olympian with that.

I have just seen this pic of an early Enviro300 on route 100. It will be brilliant if this is their regular route!

Great! These are different from other more moden Enviro300s. It also means these and the still rare MAN-Enviro200s will therefore intersect at the MetroCentre. I shall therefore do this connection either on my Tyne & Wear local day (Thursday or Friday) or Sunday.

Yes, they do meet up. The 6/7 are each every 30 minutes (combined to a service every 15 minutes to Freeman Hospital from the MetroCentre) while the 100 is about every 7 to 10 minutes.

24105, 24107, 24108, 24109, 24111, 24112, 24113, 24114, 24115

Can now add 24104 onto the list of ones it wasn't.
