Go North East: Vehicle Allocations
Go North East: Vehicle Allocations
Following a suggestion in the Go North East: Rare and Odd Workings Thread, i decided that it would be good to have a vehicle allocation list like both Stagecoach and Arriva have had posted within the past few weeks/days. Even if we were to have a scheduled odd workings list, the other allocations should be self explanatory. Obviously, its all well and good leaving the allocations to the usual culprits but it would be nice if we could all get involved, especially as the PVR is so big. I was thinking about having the layout a bit like this (I am aware that i have missed some details out):
· 1/1A: Coaster branded Scania Omnicity
· V1/V2/V3/V4/V5/V6/V8/V9/130/131/689/706/707: Venture branded Optare Solo SR
· Q1/Q2: Quaylink branded Optare Versa
· S1: Metrocentre S1 branded VDL SB120 Wright Merit
· 2/2A: Simplicity branded Optare Versa
- 21:28 2 Sunderland-Washington: Drifter branded Wright Streetlite
- 22:05 2 Washington-Sunderland: Drifter branded Wright Streetlite
The main allocation will be found next to a circular bullet point and a scheduled odd working will be found next to a dash bullet point.
This thread is mainly just to assess whether it would be worth doing it or not (would it help people etc) and if the proposal isn't as popular as I intend, the idea won't go ahead because me (and any other users who help) don't want to spend hours on end putting the list together for it not to be used by that many people.

Its a good idea, saves people asking... and can be easily edited if any changes occur.

Go North East's network is so large and allocations change regularly.
We haven't managed to keep up with the Stagecoach and Arriva ones until recently, so I dread to think how we'd cope with doing Go North East...

Quite often then. Its quite a shame because if we could keep on top if it, it would be quite a useful source for everybody. Would the Scheduled Odd Workings suggestion work or do they get changed quite often too?
I started it to see how easy it would be to assemble. I started up with the services that have been talked about most recently and are likely to have had workings posted. I have so far done the following:

(19 May 2015, 6:20 pm)Dan It's a completely new thread - it's currently sitting in the special part of the forum restricted to admins/mods only. It'll be stuck in the Rare & Odd Workings bit and closed.
Currently in the process of doing Riverside at the moment and debating how much of a mistake doing this was!

(19 May 2015, 6:24 pm)Michael , well you started it so you might as well finish!
Is Riverside the only one left to do?
