GNE now seem to have a new style of fleet numbers. Saw the same style on 3996 today.

(17 Jan 2017, 8:26 pm)RBZ 5459 More of the Scania variety actually, being done by Thorntons. Believe Proctors have picked up some of the coaches. Thorntons/Blackburn also due the cascaded Mercs to tidy up I understand. Open to correction.

(19 Jan 2017, 5:58 pm)RBZ 5459 3975 on the 1743 310 this evening. Dont think it's been noted, but I believe this is a peak Riverside booked slot from this week.It was mentioned on Tuesday or Wednesday here and was reported to be a misc working by a few.

(19 Jan 2017, 6:14 pm)S813 FVK That is a very good move - buses can spend ages waiting to get out at Thatcher's Foot at the moment.I agree, so do the drivers 😛
(18 Jan 2017, 5:51 pm)S813 FVK Yes - 3996 was the first bus in the fleet to receive the new fleet numbers when it was at Saltmeadows being repainted and retrimmed. It also features the website in the blue underneath the lower deck windows and the new logos.

Not sure if noted but from 5/2/17 X31s will use East Street instead of Thatcher's foot.

Looks like the Durham Diamond buses are going for a make-over before heading to the X5...(not sure if all the branded Durham Diamonds are going for it or just the 7 for the X5, maybe Dan or Citaro can confirm)
5285:
Following the entry into service of new Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Max Micro-Hybrid vehicles on "Durham Diamond" service 16, this vehicle has been temporarily withdrawn from service to be internally refurbished and repainted at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn. The extensive refurbishment work includes, but is not limited to, external repaint; deep cleaning of the interior of the vehicle; renewal of floor coverings; cleaning all seat frames and refurbishing seats into e-leather with USB sockets on the back of every seat; fitting blue accent lighting underneath seats to provide extra light on the gangway; and fitting Next Stop Announcements.
