(05 Aug 2015, 3:57 pm)Dan Noted here. The content of the post was probably missed because we ended up discussing destinations and smelly balls..!
Further to the information given in that post; Stanley's Dennis Trident/Plaxton President 3886 (NK51 UCO) has been joined by Washington's Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6028 (V328 LGC) at Saltmeadows Road for repaint into Go North East's corporate livery. Deptford's Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5304 (NK08 CHL) came out of the paintshop in a fresh coat of gold paint this afternoon, and let's see if anything else goes in..!
I think I'm now up-to-date on everything with the fleet lists (though please do drop me a PM if you see something I've missed)..!
It's a while since we've had an update on the current situation with regards to Northern vs Go North East... There are now
89 vehicles in the fleet which carry "Northern" branding (of which nine are withdrawn, meaning that just 80 remain). This number will continue to decrease quite rapidly over the next few weeks, pending further withdrawals from the fleet and more vehicles being repainted.
By comparison, there are now
132 vehicles in the fleet carrying the plain red 'Go North East' corporate livery. Of these, nine can be excluded, as these vehicles are either withdrawn or in the Driver Training school, meaning that we're currently at 123.
