Years... Flickr search "go north east 4937 smoke" and you'll see a photo of it from 2013 in Fab56 branding.

(28 Mar 2015, 7:38 pm)Michael 4855 has being debranded, its currently on the 8A, crossing the A19 bridge towards Washington.

Not all over. That vehicle has lacked front and rear branding for a while now. I saw it today still branded on the sides

Sorry ignore my last post.. my eyes were playing tricks ...

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - Davie - 28 Mar 2015

Does anyone know if the current Go north east spare vehicles which are supposed to be allocated to service X66 (mainly 4944, 4949, 4964 and 4966) will get transfered to another depot or will they stay at Riverside when the new Streetlites are in service?

Riverside keeps all 4 Solars, and 5332 is transferred to Washington as a spare for the 4.

I wonder how long it'll last before it's on the 82/82A/85 and 86

Quite a while I would imagine if 5332 did transfer to Washington, quite rare to see a Solar on any of the above Services.

Apparently there was one on the other day (Thursday I think)

What I think will happen is the current Red kite Omnicities will go onto the Loop allowing the 8 solars to replace 8 renowns

Yeah. moving the Solars onto the toon link will maintain a consistent age throughout. There will still be More than 8 renowns in the fleet after their withdrawal.

I think a few solars may transfer to Percy Main to replace some dual door renowns

Reminder that the GNE changes started today..........................

Still think the ToonLink will get the Omnicities....with the 47 keeping the Wright Eclipse's

I think the best option would be to send the Eclipses to Percy Main for the 9, and 5247-5249 and 5274 could go to Riverside to make a consistent allocation on the Toon Link.

Then again, maybe the Toon Link will get new deckers?

I've never ever being on the Eclipses.... Do you think the 9 should be branded?

Although it would be nice to see a full Omnicity allocation on the Toonlink.


We still don't know what/if deckers have being ordered.... so anything could happen... although it would be nice for Citaro give some more hints... Tongue (jking)

Citaro said that 4 Deckers will be joining the fleet which is coincidentally the PVR of the 47.

The Eclipses are pretty similar to Solars, but I think they are a bit better. I don't think the 9 will get branded, because then the Deptford ones would have to be branded too. Although it could happen - I liked the ''Cross Tyne'' branding on the SPDs.

To be honest, apart from peak times I'm not sure the Toon Link justifies deckers.

I really liked that brand, they should bring it back.
