(31 Mar 2015, 3:25 pm)Dan There have been no further arrivals at Saltmeadows for repaint, but 6030 was receiving corporate livery vinyls today in the paintshop, so it should be returning to Percy Main shortly. 557 is fully branded for the AD122 now - it was having its re-trimmed seats fitted again today, while also receiving interior branding (disabled bay vinyls etc). I can confirm that each "X66" branded vehicle features a different coloured gnome on the front.4845 is at Riverside, in the vor line. It is minus it's led destination displays.
4845 (R845 PRG) was not present at Saltmeadows Road today so has presumably been sold, but this will be confirmed in Go North East's fleet news next week. 4950-52 and 8293 are still in storage at Saltmeadows.
Today's arrivals included the first two green Streetlites which are to be allocated to Chester-le-Street for services 8/78. These are 5402 (NK15 ENP) and 5405 (NK15 ENU).

(30 Mar 2015, 10:11 pm)northern156 The AD122 this season - I notice it serves Haltwhistle and Walltown but only in one order. I'm guessing it goes from Halty Rail Station down the A69 to Greenhead where it serves the village, turns right and then heads up the Military Road as normal.
Please can someone shed some light on this if they know any more? I'm going to get a few shots of it on Good Friday.

(01 Apr 2015, 5:15 am)Dan I believe the LEDs will be donated to 4954 at Deptford, as it's the only vehicle allocated to the "Prince Bishops" services without LEDs.
Going back to the gold Citaro's, i think they'll go for repaint soon, as the gold seems to be a problem on the Citaro's......... i hope they go red and are branded "Laser" again......
Red bus with Laser in black and the routes on the side in white.......
Also what is currently on the X66 again, was it a Citaro and 2 B10's?

(01 Apr 2015, 7:52 am)Dan Four brand new Euro 6 Mercedes Citaros have arrived at Saltmeadows. They will be allocated to "Wear Tees Xpress" service X7 at Peterlee Depot.

A tricky one which could be debated either way.
(01 Apr 2015, 12:10 pm)Robert I'd personally say that since the trap was laid before midday, anybody who falls into it regardless of the day counts. What about anybody else?
