Well apparently getting rid of them lolynes is a priority as they are not reliable enough. Less reliable than them merc citaros and thats says something. Lolynes are num 1 for breakdown all time, followed closely by mercs. Mercs are not going anywhere they, still fairly new.

No - we refer to buses for disposal as "scrappers" and "runners" to distinguish whether we can remove parts from a vehicle (such as destination screens) or not. All vehicles being sold on as "runners" must have a working destination screen, but it can be flipdot even if the vehicle previously had LEDs.

It was operated by Volvo Olympians in 2011 though.
For all the Voly lovers...

What will be used on the extra Q3 journeys on the rugby world cup days for the extra evening services?
From the GNE site:
Extra Quaylink buses
We’ll be running extra journeys on the Q3 service between Haymarket Bus Station and St Peter’s Basin for rugby fans parking at the former Spillers site on Newcastle Quayside. Our Q3 will run every 15 minutes during the day as usual, but will run every 15 minutes into the evening on matchdays too. A temporary bus stop will be located on the Spillers site or customers can board at the existing stop at Spillers Quay, next to the Cycle Hub.
Normal Q3 timetable: http://www.simplygo.com/download/publication/70732.74/q3-times-from-26-july-2015/

It's unlikely to be a "Quaylink" branded vehicle as the first green one gets back to the depot on weekdays at 18:34, while the first purple gets back to the depot on weekdays at 18:22.
If possible, I'd imagine that Riverside will allocate two of the red Optare Versas (5389, 5390 or 8328). However, if these are already covering for branded vehicles on the "Quaylink" services (or seeing allocation to service X66 on Saturday), this will not be possible.

Well, Well, Well....
I have been told by a Go North East employee that the two new OmniDekka's are actually going to Crook for the X21.
And that they actually have no intention of buying ANY new buses at all.

I don't know where this 'no new buses' crap is coming from, as if you follow the new buses for GNE registrations from when they start to get delivered- 12, 63, 15... 66 (September 2016)...?
Nothing has been confirmed yet, and what's to say that he's talking pure rubbish...?
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - Michael - 28 Sep 2015
GNE were quick to remove the AD122 from their site... normally takes a few days after the service is withdrawn/canceled....

I think the Pronto renewal will mainly depend upon the quality contracts and if they don't go ahead, then I can see B9s from somewhere ending up on the Pronto not necessarily the Red Arrows lot though.
