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.

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?

Indeed, there is a new 'LOOP' branding applied to 5220.
