(30 Jan 2014, 10:57 pm)Adam Malarkey Got A Question for our GNE Representatives.

What unearth happened with The Crusader 27 Today or should I say Gateshead Depot Overall?

As I seen 5312 on the 27X - Then on the 27 itself I seen 2 Vykings - One of which was 3971 - President 6031 - Northern Solar 4966 and Loop Solar 5222 I think it was.

Furthermore I seen a Cadet on the 57 and 97, Whilst Highwayman Solar 4967 was doing 64A/95's as they Interwork don't they. And 5389/90 were both on the 53/54 also, and here's me thinking Deptford were Bad at Allocating Buses, Not that I mind a nice Odd Working, but Today was just a bit too kind.

(30 Jan 2014, 11:12 pm)CatsFast101 I'd like to hope all these odd workings are due to circumstances beyond depot control. The citaros on the 27 appear to be Off road/elsewhere quite a bit; most days someone is reporting something 'odd' on the 27! I can't imagine that 5312 was originally allocated to 27X, maybe breakdown cover? Maybe a similarly situation on 64/95's with regards to the highwayman solar.
The streetlites seem to be not coping. Always off route, one/two of deptfords solars may as well be put into drifter livery and the same situation for 5389/5390 might aswell be in Saltwell Park colours! But I'm hoping it's a few teething problems.

However deliberating allocating wrong branded buses are slightly annoying. Centurion gets on my nerves!

(30 Jan 2014, 11:22 pm)Adam Malarkey I seen 5312 at about 11:35 on Gateshead High Street heading to Hebburn, and then rest followed over the course of 30 Minutes before I headed over Blaydon/Winlaton way. As for the Streetlites, I'm not a fan of them and I think they are Underpowered, takes ages for them to gain any form of speed. I would think GNE aren't the only ones having teething problems, Pretty sure First have had a some Problems with theirs also.

(30 Jan 2014, 11:29 pm)Michael I dont like them either, look cheap and i agree they are underpowered, hopefully these can be sorted soon.

(31 Jan 2014, 8:18 am)Dan 8326 has broken down at Park Lane prior to performing the 0817am 61 to Murton.
A replacement bus is in the process of being arranged.

(31 Jan 2014, 8:38 am)CatsFast101 Does anyone know where 544 has been on recently? Today/Yesterday, thanks.

(30 Jan 2014, 10:11 pm)Dan You looked at all of the new stickers (No Smoking etc) on board buses purchased last year? All the same!

Imagine the same thing will be rolled out for internal branding...in time.

(31 Jan 2014, 12:42 pm)speedwheels22 Why is the 39 and 61 on simpil city brand thought the 39 was going to be every 10 minutes, I thought the simpil city brand was for buses that are every 10 minutes

(31 Jan 2014, 4:00 pm)G-CPTN There must be a few 10s sitting around as they originally operated a 20 minute frequency to/from Hexham - since reduced to 30 minutes.

(31 Jan 2014, 4:01 pm)Dan The only spares for the TEN are 3941/42, the two B7TL examples.

The change you spoke of also saw the introduction of service 10B.

(31 Jan 2014, 4:24 pm)Adam Malarkey 3 Esclipses were in Winlaton VOR Yesterday from what I could see, no idea whether the was some in the Workshop or not, as I could only see a Blaydon Racers Citaro, But there is the most likely reason for a B9 being on the Toonlinks Today.

(31 Jan 2014, 4:32 pm)eezypeazy I may be wrong, but I heard that every bus has had a new fuelling gismo fitted... something to do with how they'll refuel at Riverside...
