Aye I loved it, got back in the house at 6 this morning!

89 buses at Riverside updated with a profile change on the destination controllers, new firmware downloaded to any vehicle I was updating that had a DERIC's , new destination programme uploaded for the Quaylink changes, then Citylinks and Quaylinks also had to be updated with the new media for the Next Stop Systems, which on some vehicles means taking down interior panels....defo enjoyed it Big Grin

I wonder if he reads it properly or just skim reads it. The last time the news was posted, he mention dmsomething as if it had just happened but was, infact, in the appropriate news article.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015 - Michael - 26 Jul 2015

Also Quaylink, Orbit and Great Park Changes start today!

Wonder how many people use the "I didn't see any information about the services were changing today" excuse on their Facebook page

Also Gateshead Interchange stand changes..... want to bet NEXUS haven't updated the bus stops!

By your quick (Nobody else has mentioned it, just saying) Tongue

I think Dan will want to get some photos of the changes. Unfortunately for Bazza, that might delay the news. Oh no!

Just got to Seaburn, and from what I've seen so far, it's exactly the same as yesterday for shuttles.

With it being a Sunday, a few Fab56 B9s might get thrown into the mix.

Great spot! You'll have to ask him on the photo, but I doubt he would photoshop it. Possibly a mistake by GNE?


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015 - S813 FVK - 26 Jul 2015

Interesting how when i notice it, somebody (Tommy) miraculously posts a comment on the said photo asking the question. Suggests that if i hadn't noticed it, nobody else would have.

He hasn't really explained it properly either  Rolleyes

Glad you had fun. I enjoyed my night in my warm bed too  Tongue

Oh dear...apparently im being rude by giving him information which he apparently already knew. I think my 'rudeness' was well justified considering that he didn't even use his own eyes and instead got somebody else to do the dirty work and notice for him...if he is like that on here, god knows what he is like off the virtual world. 

Somebody needs to put him in his place i guess and, well, some of you msy know that i can get very honest when i want to be  Wink

At least we can admire the lovely white Arial route number on that bus, if nothing else...

Would have to be some very good photoshopping... No it's a genuine image which, as we have learned, has unintentionally exploited a major error on Go North East's side. I just use the NEB fleet list, a virtuous resource, to confirm the information I put in photo descriptions.
