(19 Feb 2017, 4:26 pm)Michael Has 4980 gone to Saltmeadows so it can get the new livery?

(19 Feb 2017, 4:33 pm)S813 FVK And if not, I can't see it not getting done while it is there like most of the Omnidekkas at Stanley.

(19 Feb 2017, 4:18 pm)AIG20 Apparently the bus tried to get through before the barriers went down but failed...

The barrier ended up on top of the front end of the bus!

(19 Feb 2017, 8:46 pm)Dan All four baby Solos now are, and all four have had Hanover destinations fitted, so are reasonably close to entering service.

I think it's 708 which has also been re-trimmed. Another has had its seats removed prior to being re-trimmed.

Diamond 5290 has now been withdrawn from service and is in storage at Saltmeadows Road prior to being refurbished at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn.

(19 Feb 2017, 8:47 pm)Tom Looks very smart - can you tell us where they are going? Going to guess one is for the 168, and the rest will be for Percy Main?

(19 Feb 2017, 8:56 pm)Michael If they do, they'll go on the W service (can't remember which one they got) and the 333.

At least 1 or 2 Solo's from the 353 will probables join the indigo brand with the other one moving else where.

(19 Feb 2017, 9:05 pm)Tom W1/W1A it was with a PVR of 2, but the 333 will need something bigger than the baby Solos.
 
Hopefully they will refurbish the older Solos sometime to match the spec of the newer Solos. But yeah I think 637/638/639 will all transfer to Percy Main with 637/638 on the indiGo and 639 on the 333.

(19 Feb 2017, 9:06 pm)Michael Is 5284 still on schedule to arrive back next week?, if so, will others follow or is that tye only one due back?

Oh right, my bad, maybe i should of read back about what was needed to be allocated to the 333.

Has the Indigo North Tyne got a spare?

(19 Feb 2017, 9:16 pm)Dan 5284 is still due to return next week, yes. Probably won't be back out in service next week though.

I believe that the indiGo North Tyne network currently has two branded spare Solos - two of the older former Nexus branded examples which don't have the same features as the new indiGo North Tyne Solos.

(20 Feb 2017, 1:55 pm)Michael 549 has broke down right on the roundabout in front of the Stadium of Light

(20 Feb 2017, 3:19 pm)Tom If it was on the X36 looks like 3081 has replaced it

(20 Feb 2017, 3:27 pm)Michael Ye it was on the X36, missed that part out!.
