Ah its abit early to confirm every move.
Least we know where the Cobolt Omni's/Citaro's are going and the FAB 56 Scania's will be spread across the fleet to replace the reamining SPD's along with the Scania's from the Whey aye five-0.
I was hoping to get Omnicity's at Deptford =(

Once the decker's are in service on the 309/310, not sure when that will be as it looks like the FAB 56 decker's will be arriving first... maybe January?

Is the 15 operated by Consett on Sundays using venture MPD's? As its Stanley during the week.

Indeed it is.
RE: Go North East - Latest - BJ10VUS - 27 Nov 2013
Only one bus is required though - it runs about every hour and 10 minutes.

And the interworking V1/V8s have a PVR of 3, totalling up to a PVR of 4 on Sundays.

Was reiterating the aforementioned PVR to confirm it was indeed correct.

I wouldn't be too sure on Gateshead getting rid of all their Volvo Olympians. They have a contract for a Jewish School that stipulates that the buses mustn't carry no adverts (inside & outside) whatsoever. And currently they've got 2 Volvo Olympians for this duty. I know 3827 is one of them. I cannot remember the other one.

If memory serves, the one I photographed on that scholar when it was first starting operation was 3820.
Who's to say that GNE will even have that contract in two months time, however? Scholars are known to change quite often. It could be a three month contract for all we know.

Formerly operated by Caris Coaches who have had it for about 2 years? It's not a Nexus contract...
RE: Go North East - Latest - Rapidsnap - 27 Nov 2013
It's a private contract seperate to the Nexus Scholar services. They've got it until at least the summer. Also it be the only service operating on New Years Day as the Jewish School is open that day.
RE: Go North East - Latest - Dan - 27 Nov 2013
Still reluctant to believe that Gateshead will retain two Olympians for this contract.
Would it not be more appropriate to remove advertisements from the Presidents, which are to take a back seat role (scholars/spares only) rather than retain Olympians which were actually due to be withdrawn this year (assuming 15 year age limit)? A fresh lick of paint when they come off Pronto duties and you're sorted.
