Fleet News: 04/01/2016
There have been no changes to the fleet this week.

(04 Jan 2016, 1:03 pm)R852 PRG 8250 and 8251 have been withdrawn, they aren't used as driver training vehicles, unlike 8242-8248. They'll be sold when a buyer is found, or alternatively sent for scrap.
I believe they are/were being used for engineering training purposes.

A Gold Merc on the 36, arriving in to Houghton about 10mins back may need looking at.
Sounds like a belt has slipped or needs tightening. Sounding very rough indeed.

(04 Jan 2016, 1:21 pm)R852 PRG 8249 possibly? Believe that and one other Cadet caught fire while they were based at Washington, I think both were sold for scrap, most likely to Alpha.
Only one was scrapped as 8250 is still here.

As noted on our news page on the links below, "Tynedale Links" branded Transbus MPD 556 and "Loop" branded Scania L94 5219 have arrived at Saltmeadows Road for repaint.

On the topic, 3886s rear destination still isnt working properly. Appreciate the fact it isnt a priority with it not having to meed DDA standards just but thought id say anyway.

Not a huge issue either, as it's just programmed as a route number only display instead of the size used on the back of an OmniCity. Would meet DDA/PSVAR requirements regardless, as the rear only needs to be a route number only display.

It has the route number and destination on both rows but both bunched up to the right so it is bearly readable.

Returned to service following repaint on Saturday - so you were still pretty quick off the mark getting a photo.

Nothing wrong with a refresh, keeping the fleet smart and tidy, is there?
If you ask me; it's about time we saw quality being treated as a primary focus, amongst bus operators in the North East.
