Yes - it is just Percy Main's standard LED programme.

Should only be allocated to the Cobalt Clipper, as this will allow for a more accurate average MPG figure on these services to be obtained.

If the MPG of the Streetdeck was to beat the B9's, do you think GNE would dotch the GKN mods for 6101 - 6116 and change the 309 / 310 to Streetdecks?

No. Would be completely stupid and would cost more in repaints etc than the GKN mods themselves.

(09 Sep 2015, 1:59 pm)Dan Wright StreetDeck 9119 (SN64 CTU) is due to transfer to Percy Main shortly for use on "Cobalt Clipper" services 309/310. Its destinations were programmed at Riverside this afternoon as depicted below:

That seems a much more sensible use for that bus than the X9/X10, though the geminis on it are only a couple of years old, anyhow.

I noticed that there were no Go North East supervisors down at my school to manage the buses and answer queries at all today (AM and PM) and it was instead, left down to the staff. The whole point of them coming down is that they can boost the bus batteries or whatever using the power pack they usually have in the van. Luckily, there were no problems regarding vehicles breaking down tonight.

I've not known it to happen in Washington, as it's usually teacher supervised on a rota. Guess it depends on the size of the school and amount of services they run.

It wasn't normal for St Bedes until the 2013/14 academic year when GNE staff have been present for the last 3 years, most of the time without fail but today there was no sign of GNE staff at all. I have no idea how it works with other schools.

Stanley's St Bedes scholars services are commercially operated rather than secured as per most Tyne & Wear scholars services (I believe some Emmanuel College services are commercially operated too), hence why some of the arrangements are slightly different.

I don't know for sure, but I think there have been quite a few meetings lately so the staff who usually supervise your scholars may have been busy with nobody available to cover.
