(27 Nov 2013, 5:10 pm)Ely1992 Is it just me or does the X40 not justify having bendy buses, Everytime i pass one, it has about 3 people on it.
I was at the NHS offices doing some consultancy work today and I know there's a joint complaint going in about the reliability of the X40 from numerous businesses around the site. It's apparently far far worse than Arriva ever were

It probably doesn't, but I believe the contract was won on the soul basis that Go North East could operate it with articulated vehicles.

6021, 6024, 6035, 6037 are going to Gateshaed from Crook.... unsure of 6034, 6040, 6041

Contractual requirement. It may not justify it, but if that's what the customer is paying for that's what they get.

Customer could get a more reliable service without the solar fusions!

All of the ''Pronto'' presidents will be spread out between all depots, to replace ''Yellow Bus'' Olympians.

Percy Main will loose theirs due to the Cobolt deckers, maybe.
Really the only Depot which will have Olmpican's will be stanley, i think

More than likely 6021/24/34/35 to Gateshead to replace 3811/19/20/27 then 6037/38/40/41 to Stanley to replace 3813/14/21/22, then 3803/3859 can replace 3815/16 at Percy Main with the arrival of two Northern Geminis.

This will probably happen then:
3974: Deptford to Gateshead
6020: Deptford to Stanley
6021: Crook to Gateshead
6024: Crook to Gateshead
6034: Crook to Gateshead
6035: Crook to Stanley
6037: Crook to Stanley
6040: Crook to Stanley
6041: Crook to Stanley
3815/3816 withdrawn from Percy Main
3811/19/20/27 withdrawn from Gateshead
3813/14/21/22/23 withdrawn from Stanley
RE: Go North East - Latest - nk55 - 27 Nov 2013
6021, 6024, 6035 & 6037 are the best of the 7 crook have so will probably end up at gateshead. Not forgetting crook also have 6038 for use on the spennymoor to fram college duplicate, which i'm led to believe will remain at crook.
Crook will probably get a scania from deptford as a spare single deck.

Really looking forward to the new Solos on the Venture around Consett. Anyone know when they're going to be out and about?

I don't think the next set of reallocations has been finalised yet - this is just conjecture

I believe there are four operational Consett boards on Sundays, which includes the 15.
