Same with the white van from the papershop!
Yep. The paper shop van is definitely letting the side down.

On Compass YJ04BZU on the 73. It's worth mentioning that it's spotless inside and out. They must have been following #DirtyBusesOnNEB

Interesting, as it was scruffy on Thursday and Friday when I seen it, Probs had a wash off the Rain, which is more than likely than Compass cleaning it themselves.

Either that or they had someone in on work experience.

Bluebird on the 79 again. Didn't see the Compass allocation to the 37 this morning - so not sure what is on that.
RE: Compass Community Transport - Dan - 09 Jun 2014
Compass have seemingly gained yet another van-type minibus, this time in the form of WJ02KNN, a Mercedes of some sort.
Last taxed back in March of this year, so I assume this is when it was inherited.
Surprisingly clean too.
RE: Compass Community Transport - Andreos1 - 10 Jun 2014
The Bluebird is back on the 37.
Overtook it on the Washington Highway earlier on.

Solo YJ08PKU made an appearance on services 515/558 today. Fairly common, but breaches the contract specification, so I thought I'd note it...

Looks like it's had a wash too
they definitely follow NEB.

Almost died when I saw how white it was!

Livery or capacity? Wouldn't have thought the 515 or 558 required anything bigger than the Iveco van, to be honest!

Capacity, believe it or not!
We'd have a thread the size of Go North East's Rare & Odd Workings thread if we included non-Nexus liveried vehicles being used!

BIB: If that is the case, Classic also breaches the contract specification on a daily bases given Compass' Solo only has 2 seats less than the Caetano Nimbus Darts Classic use on their board (and the Solo they previously used)

Yes, that confused me somewhat also (having also used the Classic-operated 558 today).
I believe it was mentioned that only the Cadets do not breach the contract specification - so I'm not sure how Compass coped when they weren't around!

That's mad! Has anyone from Nexus actually used the service? You'd be lucky to get 4 people on either service at once, never mind 40! Just seems like a waste of a bus really.

Saw it tonight just before 7 parked up in a layby on the Washington Highway.
No idea why it was there.

Minimum Capacity of 49 when it goes over to GCT from next month...

What a joke! Do GCT actually have anything that large?

Not yet - but they do have some nice 16 seater vans if it all goes tits up!
