Would 6116 and 6117 at Percy Main not allow 2 Olympians to be Withdrawn as I would say Percy Main should be at the top of the list for Olympian Withdrawls.

I'm very surprised at how busy the double deckers are on the 309. GNE have thought it through well and they're starting to get more passengers between Newcastle and Rake Lane - W.Bay / Blyth. A good investment all around. Hopefully, if both services continue to grow as they are now, I see more evening journeys on the cards for both and more journeys to Blyth on the 309. Even with the 310, people used to walk either from near Verne Road or North of Formica to the Coast Road for the 306 / 308. Now, more people are even using the 310 partly down to both the new double deckers and the route / frequency change as opposed to the 300 / 315 and 316.
(28 Feb 2014, 8:17 pm)Dan No, as the B9TLs replaced 4911 (1), 5250, 5253/54 and 5273 (4), 5255-60 (6) and 5331/33-38 (7) = 18 vehicles.
17 vehicles replaced 18 because they are newer vehicles and should be more reliable.

(28 Feb 2014, 8:22 pm)northtynelinks2 Ok, so I wonder how those Olympians should go then, if all or most of them are meant to be leaving the fleet this year they better get a move on, especially because I would say they have missed the biggest opportunity for cascades.
