(28 Nov 2016, 6:11 pm)Michael There's only 4 Wear tee Xprees Citaro's.

(28 Nov 2016, 6:48 pm)thetravelman Which depot operates the 11 service on an Evening and Sundays between Metro Centre and Lobley Hill - Is this Riverside?

During these times the route looks split to only run Metro Centre to Lobley Hill and also Whitley Bay to Wallsend Metro, leaving the middle section between Wallsend and Lobley Hill without service.

If Riverside do operate this part of the route at an evening or on a Sunday, do they have a branded vehicle or is it allocated a corporate livery vehicle?

(28 Nov 2016, 6:49 pm)Tom Usually a Green Arrow on a Sunday but not sure about evenings.

(28 Nov 2016, 2:35 pm)RBZ 5459 It'll be all the Scanias that are listed as Euro 5 on the fleet list which will have had that particular Eminox work done. Physically, it's anything that has the small extra grill next to the engine/radiator grill on the N/S. Think 4949 is the exception to this as it received a brand new Euro 5 engine after its fire.

Some of the other more elderly ones have been up'd to just to Euro 4 in the past, but that will just be the simpler mod/traps GNE have done on their terms without funding.

(28 Nov 2016, 1:52 pm)Chris Maybe the radio is linked somehow to the panic alarm?

(28 Nov 2016, 7:56 pm)Andreos1 Sorry, missed this earlier. 
It may do. I have no idea if it is.

Would it work in areas where reception/signal is poor? Just as an example, the dip at Leazes Bowl has a terrible effect on the radios and that isn't too far from control. It isn't too exposed fortunately, unlike some of the far flung reaches of the A19.

(28 Nov 2016, 7:04 pm)South Tyne Lad The DC9 Engine fitted to the L94UBs isn't available in Euro 5 format, So the new engine will have arrived in its standard Euro 2/3 Configuration ( Euro 3 on these models ) before receiving the Eminox Mods once inside the Engine bay.

It did receive the extra grill as found on the others, Aswell as a additional small grill underneath the main grill, Which extends all the way down to the bottom of the body.

(28 Nov 2016, 11:06 pm)Ryan99 Dunno if said but 5333-6 will be all repainted into new livery and remain at deptford to release 4961-4 to Percy paint to get the last few b10s gone.

(28 Nov 2016, 11:37 pm)Ambassador Citaros must be one of the few single deck buses from the GNE fleet not to be on the 28s/728/709/733. At least I can't remember even a rare odd working!

(28 Nov 2016, 11:49 pm)Michael Ye, don't think it'll happen anytime soon too, Chester have no Citaro's so i don't think they'll get any because of Depot standisation.

(29 Nov 2016, 8:41 am)Michael I take it someone isn't happy with the X7 changes...


RE X7 NOW NOT SERVING WINGATE AREAS, WHY NOT REROUTE X9 TO COVER THIS AS YOU HAVE TWO SERVICES JUST GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A19. KEEP X10 AS FAST EXPRESS TO BORO, AND X9 AS THE SLOWER STAND ALONE EXPRESS. ANYONE GOING END TO END WILL KNOW THE X10 WILL BE QUICKEST,AND ALL THOSE PASENGERS THAT ARE BEING DISGARDED NOW x7 IS WITHDRAWING FROM WINGATE, WILL HAVE GOOD REASON TO CONTINUE USING GNE CONNECTION TO BOROUGH.
