RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - Malarkey - 23 Mar 2015
(23 Mar 2015, 12:10 pm)Dan Transbus MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 561 (NK53 TLF) was returned to Deptford this morning, after having additionally been re-trimmed. Hexham's former "Tynedale Links" branded 557 (NK53 TKV) arrived at Saltmeadows this morning in its place for the same treatment.
Stanley's former "Red Kite" branded Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB) is, as we speak, in the process of being prepared for its repaint, ahead of new vehicles arriving for the "Red Kite" services in the coming weeks and its consequent cascade to another service.
There have been no new arrivals today.
Is 557 being repainted also or just retrimmed, wonder if this could New Buses for the Tynedale Links Network.

Doubt it.
Unless GNE have got buses going to be transferred to the Tynedale Links - possibly the silver Mercs...

Repainted into a fresh plain yellow base livery for the AD122 and additionally re-trimmed - to match 561 which is going to transfer to Hexham from Deptford until September.

Ta Dan, just updating my own Personal Fleetlist so I know what I need to Photograph etc as it been a while since I have done so, 6023 has returned to Service at Percy Main, just seen a Photo of it on Facebook.

Like the rest of them when there done.
Are there not going on the FAB57 route?, the FAB57 buses looking really worn these days, GNE rep already stated that the FAB57 will not be getting new buses for that route, so assume it will be hand me down buses.

They don't just look worn. They're sounding rough and feel rough too.
Have done for a while now.

thought the PVR for AD122 was only one as 524 was used last year and now am stuck with it on 27X Sob Sob Sob Sob hopefully they will get rid of 524 soon last tuesday while getting a new iphone the bus failed to start almost 20 times on the last run

No - the PVR was two last year.
524 and a "Tynedale Links" branded MPD were used last year. 535 transferred to Hexham from Peterlee to cover for the "Tynedale Links" branded vehicle and was often found on service 74. The reason 535 wasn't used was because the bus had to be fitted with LEDs, and 535 only had flipdots.

The prodhue shuttle isn't currently running due to an electrical fault. . Engineers on the way. (from the GNE fb page)

I was browsing the internet this morning and came across this site:
http://chasingnewpaint.blogspot.co.uk/
It has a picture of the GNE streetlite in Lime colour (its on a rear shot of the bus) and probably the red streetlites either side of the lime one, probably for the red kites are normal red spares?
also couple of pictures of ANE streetlites with max and sapphire spec (pictures are only rear shots of the bus).
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - omnicity4659 - 24 Mar 2015
Ooooh, nice find there cbma06!
Cue Marcus falling in love with the Lime-coloured one

Nice find mate.
Have to admit i was wrong about the streetlites being in lime being horrid... they look quite good.
They also look nice is red, these will probables be for the Lime as chester-le-street and Stanley are both getting a spare.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - Dan - 24 Mar 2015
Although we'd already covered the information regarding new arrivals, confirmation has today been posted on Go North East's fleet news:
"Four new Wright Streetlite DF Micro Hybrids have been received for service X66 to the Metrocentre - 5391: NK15 EMV, 5392: NK15 EMX, 5393: NK15 ENC and 5394: NK15 ENE. They are painted in the same blue as Connections 4. Volvo B12B 7093: K3 VOY has been returned to National Express work at Chester le Street."
Riverside's former "Crusader" branded Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5330 (BJ10 VUP) has arrived at Saltmeadows Road for its freshen up repaint.
Slightly less interesting but also worth noting is that Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3963 (NK06 JXD) and Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 5161 (T811 CBW) have both had the issue with regards to the route number appearing on the wrong side of the screen fixed.

The three Streetlites pictured in the link cbma06 posted earlier arrived later in the day after 5391 (NK15 EMV) this morning, which is why they were not included in Go North East's fleet news this morning.
The fleet number to registration allocation for these are as follows:
- 5397 (NK15 ENJ)
- 5401 (NK15 ENO)
- 5409 (NK15 ENY)
5397 is green and to be allocated to Stanley Depot. 5401 and 5409 are the two corporate liveried spares - the former will be allocated to Stanley and the latter will be allocated to Chester-le-Street.

Least the spare won't be so many fleet numbers on for each depot...
