(08 Apr 2016, 9:18 pm)Michael That's true but the Eclipse's are quite good buses, although the 19 could be getting the Citaro's, we'll just have to wait and see what happens on the weekend of the changes.

Sorry to spoil fun but I'm sure Dan said the silver mercs are staying for the 61, but wouldn't surprise me if the cascades of the prince bishop go on it

He did say that, at the minute the Eclipse's are planned to go on the 19.

Doesn't mean it can't be changed so the Citaros go on the 19 and the Eclipses go on the 61.

Plans have changed before, just like when the Washington local services were getting the Versa's but then it was changed so the 88/88A got them instead.

I can't remember which services at Washington it was for the Versa's as they've changed a few times since then and its been a while. (It could be W5/W6 etc)

I thought it was when they were branded as Washington Street Shuttle.

Yeah it was, but there was only enough for the 82 back then.

Oh well, i was close haha


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - biglugs@yahoo.com - 08 Apr 2016

Whose going to run the 57 shuttle on Sunday?


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Dan - 09 Apr 2016

Service 19 will be operated by the Volvo B7RLEs, and I think the extra runs at peak times will be operated by a Volvo B7RLE if available to provide a consistent spec (at present these are often Volvo B10BLEs).

There are no plans (yet) to remove the Mercs off the 61.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Ryan99 - 09 Apr 2016

All of the indiGo East Durham minibuses have had the Next Stop Announcements programmed for a while now.

I'd never heard of this place up Benton to be honest. Do you know if it's used quite often by operators?

Its right next to The Range if you are ever over that way. Doesn't answer your question but thought it would still be useful (although you can easily find this info out on google).

Mainly truck and van to be honest.


Their site down at the team valley generally had a few buses in.

Very rarely by my previous observations bar the odd Sprinter minibus. But on this occasion it was well used with the two from GNE, one from Lowdons of Sunniside (CE52 UWP), one from Green Mountain Travel (NJ63 XSB) and one unknown operator (NJ14 PUU)  Smile .
