(30 Jun 2015, 9:06 pm)S813 FVK I'd love to know why 3813 was withdrawn rather than something like 3814 or 3832. It has no problems with it other than two of its destinations don't work. By far the best Olympian in the fleet even for one of the oldest.

(11 Jun 2015, 6:31 pm)Dan Yes, 6104 is still at Telford.
With it being the first example to be done, I suspect this one will be away for quite some time for testing etc (hence why 3858 is being reinstated when required).

Could it be, that he's looking at the Nexus QCS appendix on proposed routes / Contract tender, which lists all in numerical order, whether it be StageCoach, Arriva or GNE. If read incorrectly he could read Arriva to Morpeth as GNE as they follow each other on that list (x14/ x15):
Appendix L:

Appendix list(Whole);

Or maybe not!

(01 Jul 2015, 9:45 am)Michael The new Q1/Q2/Q3 timetables are now online -The down side to all this is that the leaflets no longer contain a proper map for the Quaylink routes, so visitors won't have a clue where they actually go. A shame they couldn't have retained the previous map, just drawing on arrows saying they continue around Gateshead/to Great Park

According to a friend of mine, the remains of ''Lime'' Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4851 (R851 PRG) were taken away from the back of Chester-le-Street depot by Alpha Recovery today. Amazing to think that it was still there since it's withdrawal, around August or September 2014 if I remember correctly?
4855 at Saltmeadows - still yet to be collected:

Note its blue interior seats have been retained for another vehicle and have been replaced with the older style.
