Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2017

Seen Two Olympians heading through sunniside towards Stanley both with engineers at the wheel, and both still blinded up for Scholars.
Does this mean Stanley are swapping some buses with Riverside, as mentioned earlier.
I also seen a Vyking heading along Walker road with an engineer on board and another member of staff.

Does the X84/X85 changover at Eldon Square?
They used to alternate at Hexham (and Ncle I believe), but the X85 now runs on to Newbrough and turns around and runs straight back to Newcastle.
X85 arrives Ncle :28.
X84 arrives Ncle :02
X84 departs Ncle :40
X85 departs Ncle :10
X84 arrives Hexham :43
X84 departs Hexham :55
X85 has a 5 minute 'layover' at Hexham (both ways) as it passes through.

Spotted this on 5210's fleet page.
Ahead of upcoming fleet re-allocations which will see a number of the former "See it, Do it, Sunderland" branded Mercedes Citaros cascaded to Hexham Depot following refurbishment to upgrade "Tynedalexpress" services X84/X85 and "Tynedale Links" service 680, this vehicle has been repainted into Go North East's corporate livery.

Although we knew, it has now been confirmed.
