Me, no never RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - Dan - 13 Oct 2015 (12 Oct 2015, 10:37 pm)LeeCalder Me, no never You're not one to complain, Lee... Of course not! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - omnicity4659 - 13 Oct 2015 (12 Oct 2015, 5:02 pm)mb134 Not sure how accurate this is, but I've heard there was some issues with the journey on the Bedlington Station school run this morning (bus was late/didn't turn up, didn't fully understand what they were saying), do you know anything about this? I can't see anything happening here that would cause disruption to the 434. Does the 448 start at the 'original' Nisa in Guide Post? Parked cars are a problem around there. There hasn't been a school bus there for years, why are people relying on it now?

Does the 448 start at the 'original' Nisa in Guide Post? Parked cars are a problem around there. There hasn't been a school bus there for years, why are people relying on it now? I believe that it used to be Premier operated? There definitely has been a school bus there, I see it most days depending upon where I am.

There definitely has been a school bus there, I see it most days depending upon where I am. Arriva used to operate that route or similar, I don't really follow the independents that don't have normal bus services hence why I didn't know.

When it becomes a legal, oh boi, there be problems. As a result they are now in talks about a new destination blind system, like what Edinburgh use. Not done with winding handles, still with the buttom system and it just turns at sets itself, winding handle provided for a backup. Its only talks its not confirmed i must stress. Carn't see it happening myself, cost too much.

Carn't see it happening myself, cost too much. Load of bollocks - it's not even in talks, and if it was, I'd be one of the first to find out about it. We're rolling out a new system which involves profiling the driver's console, removing the need to change switch settings on the destination display itself, ready for the DDA regulations coming into fruition from 1 January 2016. 5154 and 5157 would not load Profile 10 (which is what the dual-door Volvo B10BLEs are on) when they were updated last Saturday, so they're on Profile 9 temporarily (which is what the Scania OmniDekkas are on) until Hanover fix the issue with the driver consoles on those two vehicles. As such, the front display looks a bit obscure and the back display does not work (as the OmniDekkas have LEDs on the rear rather than flipdot).

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - B10man - 13 Oct 2015 Are a gne manager or something? Seem to know a lot about selling buses, and destination displays. As i said its talks, i believe there was only a few high up managers on about it from what i heard. That last bit went way over my head, i don't know what your profile 9 and 0 are, i don't know what flipdots are, i don't know what a hanover is, hangover yeah but hanover lost on me. I was simply trying to "discuss" under the Discussion thread something about buses which i thought a bus spotters forum was about. Discussing bus spotting and stuff that goes with it. Thought it might get a discussion going about pros and cons of thier possiable idea. As i said was only a discussion.

Well, all I can say is there is no talks about changing destination suppliers....I do not know where you have heard it from, but we have a meeting on Friday with Hanover about using them more. Dan maybe not be a Manager, but I am!

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - G-CPTN - 13 Oct 2015 I thought that Dan managed the destination board programmes? Doesn't that make him a manager? If not, perhaps it should . . . RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2015 - Michael - 14 Oct 2015 4924/4925 have now received modifications at Thornton Brothers, Ashington, so they are now DDA-compliant. This leaves 7 of single doors left to be done.
