Don’t think they’ll brand it the 15 with only 3 buses allocated.

Id imagine they will all go to stanley for 6/X70/X71. The displaced omnis would then allow the cascade of the omnidekkas to replace the remaining Presidents

Looks like 5216 is on loan to Hexham presumably covering for 5298 as it’s parked outside the depot

Is 5425 still VOR ?
There was a comment on 11/12/17 that it had a handbrake fault. I have not seen it on the 20/20A having checked the new App most days for the last 2 weeks or so.

Fully repaired and painted week before last.

Went through PSV test on 25th January (and passed), it's just awaiting sign off now before going back out on the road.

What Omnicity's had internal modifications when they were in service on the 19, and where are they now?

What were the modifications, just lighting and flooring?

Just 5245 - now a Whey Aye Five 0 bus.

The others in the batch on Cobalt Connect weren't done as had originally been intended.

Thanks, 5425 is the only GNE Streetlite I have not ridden yet, hence my interest.

I've noticed a few odd workings or spare Streetlites appearing on the 20's over the last few weeks. 
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to identify if there any patterns regarding which purple Streetlite's are missing.

A short trip out, maybe see's me notice 2/3 vehicles that aren't purple.

Have all the diagrams on the Toonlinks changed this week, as from what I’ve seen the links between the various routes at Stanley and Newcastle seem to have changed. I assume in preparation for the Geminis?
