(11 Aug 2015, 2:58 pm)S813 FVK 5231 is at Saltmeadows: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dansnortheastbusphotos/20462295386/in/dateposted/

Looks like it is being sanded down for a repaint. No sign of 5284 today either but then again, quite a few Diamond Mercs are off the road but we won't go into why. I often feel that the tension rises when we have to go through all of this stuff.

Minor accident damage - but tidying most of the bodywork up.

Side note: deleting any 'duplicate post' comments, they posted it at more or less the same time.

(10 Aug 2015, 3:57 pm)aureolin Oh and 6061 NSAs have been turned right down, to the point they're whispering. Certainly the case upstairs.

In addition, the screen upstairs seems to be indented about 2 inches in from the left, cropping the right hand side. I've noticed this on a few now mind.

I checked the audio on 6061 this morning, volume reset. 

Hanover informed about the screens.

A citaro would look great in green...

Yes, something similar to the Highwayman green would be nice Tongue


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - S813 FVK - 11 Aug 2015

Highly doubt the Citaros will be going on the highwayman. Just a Diamond brand refresh is what im thinking.

I think we'll see the Citaro's move on to the 97 later in the year when changes occur, as i think the Highwayman changes will go ahead...also think well see a completely new brand for the 97... with rest of the services being "Go North East".

Any spare Citaro's to other depots.

I like the highwayman but deffo think the brand needs to be pumped up a bit

You might be right with new brand. 

I opt for SHEILA with the tagline SHEILA be coming round the mountain....... Big Grin

You did but yesterday you said something completely different which was that you think that they will go onto the Highwayman:

Using that post alone, it is quite clear that you are hinting that again by referencing the colour green.
