(15 Sep 2015, 1:14 pm)GX03 SVC Bazza, you've posted the fleet news in a thread called "Fleet News", which is merely a suggestion thread, about 10 minutes ago. Michael posted here 50 minutes ago.

If you think copying and pasting is a tut tut, don't do it yourself.

(15 Sep 2015, 1:45 pm)LeeCalder Bazza, why do you think he posts it to annoy you? He is posting it because he is able to. There is no rule saying you can't post it this week because Bazza wants to.

(15 Sep 2015, 1:47 pm)Diamond One Does it almost every week I've let admins know to solve a solution between all of us in regards to fleet news

(15 Sep 2015, 1:49 pm)Tom Yeah of course, Michael's main aim is to annoy you - I'm sure he has more important things to worry about than annoying you! 

Anyway, great to see more proper B10s coming to Percy Main, hopefully it'll get rid of the crap dual door ones (5154, 5156, 5159 etc.)

(15 Sep 2015, 1:51 pm)Diamond One Fleet news only the rest am fine with anyhow back on subject I agree with us on them dual doors I've lost flavour on the 9 now since they came on hopefully more non dual doored ones eg 4917

(15 Sep 2015, 1:52 pm)Tom 4910 and 4911 are great, the best ones we have now.

No doubt they'll mostly be on the 9 anyway, with the B7s on the 17 as usual.

4910 is the best out of the two nice and comfy I can see the pair of them being on 9 about 4 is needed from Percy Main while 3 from Deptford but also I can see some eg 4916 on 17/17A they need a vehicle like that

Yeah the Northern Omnicities are normally covering for Coaster/Cobalt Connect omnicities that's why I guess.

Should put the B7s on there, but I guess they don't want to risk it after what happened in Percy Main with 3874. Shouldn't really be an issue though if the driver paid attention to the low bridge.

The odd ominicity usually creeps up on 9 I usually have a nice ride on them when I travel to Sunderland I thought the bus that was involved in the accident was 3870 I'm sure somebody said a while back I used to like 3874 during its Deptford days lovely ride the 3 spares 3801, 3873 and 3874 usually they would end up on the morrisons 9 used to enjoy them rides better than the darts in them days lovely and belter views

Aye it might have been 3870, I think you're right.

The 9 is great when it's a double decker, especially through the tunnel. Shame there is no Lolynes left at Percy Main now - apart from 3866/3867, and I think 3859 is still hanging on.

Only thing 9 gets now is presidents and 2 lolynes the DFDS Seaways ones usually happens on a morning before 9:30 then once the school Rush/work rush comes in they throw on single deckers if DFDS ones are on they pull them back to Percy Main til the DFDS Seaways runs are about to begin or they may stay on 9 for the rest of the day has happened more than once

X85 heading towards Hexham was running 20+ minutes late through Corbridge around 3pm, however the X84 heading towards Newcastle appeared soon after - probably on time (had they employed the 'spare' as the X85 bus I saw would have become the X84?).

Apparently there are roadworks on the main road into Newcastle with temporary traffic lights causing significant delays (according to a passenger).
