(06 Mar 2017, 8:19 am)Jamie M Dan, when will rear-end fixes to the omnidekks resume?

(06 Mar 2017, 8:42 am)Dan I think some heating modifications may be prioritised on the OmniDekkas - similar to what is being done on all Scania L94s in the fleet at the moment, with the bulk of the work being undertaken at Chester-le-Street Depot.

(08 Mar 2017, 8:56 am)Pulsar Go North East Trialed a B8RLE back in 2015, fleet number 9108.

Doubt they will trial one again and they will probably just continue to buy streetlites.

(08 Mar 2017, 10:14 am)Venturego As the B8RLE is a Volvo product (with Wright bodywork) and not a mainline or part of the Wrightbus range, maybe it does not fit with the new relationship GNE have with Wright bus
Wonder why GNE haven't trialed the Volvo 7900 Hybrid:

Interesting video in link (Lothian / Volvo partnership) :

Seems to be a good all rounder for city, rural and long distance performance, economy and endurance.

(08 Mar 2017, 4:40 pm)dannygee What can we expect on the 901s on sunday. Do the buses have to be cooperate livery or could the put a livery bus on for reliabilty than the older buses in the fleet. Also the b9s have two bays for pushchairs but b7s only one

(08 Mar 2017, 7:56 pm)2bagstew I was at meeting today with a high level member of Go North East and he was praising X5/6/7 services, when i see the X6 and X7 they are nearly always carrying fresh air, he has also stated that there where no plans to alter the East Durham Network.
I think personally it was a mistake too have cancelled the Peterlee - Middlesbrough section.. Go North East say it was talking trade from there flagship service X9.
