(10 Aug 2015, 8:41 pm)S813 FVK So it isn't Orange? If it was i'm guessing it would be nothing special and you would have said.

If i put all of the windows out on the other branded vehicles, will they all get repainted too? Would certainly speed up the process...

Nah, would not speed the process up.....

I think the only thing that it would do would be getting me arrested and charged with criminal damage.

The replacement windows on Mercs are very expensive, and I hear they can be a pain to fit as well... I think Saltmeadows would appreciate it if you kept your rocks to yourself!

The costs that come with the Mercedes badge eh. Maybe the Wright way to go in the future in terms of cost is with the Streetlite and Streetdeck. 

See what i did there? Just a bit of Monday night banter Smile

As long as it's not the rear 'window' of a Streetlite - they're a pain too, as the window has to be curved...

A window on 5396 has already been put out. Been out for ages and branding is still waiting to be reapplied. I understand that it will take time to do and isn't worth keeping it off the road for. Especially as it is only part of the route that is missing.

Yes - the window was put out by our friends in Stanley a week after entering service. Surprised it hasn't been sorted yet.

There's another with missing branding on the nearside which is more recent - 5400 if I remember rightly - towards the back of the bus.

Not telling the colour....#waitandsee

It did get a window put out, hence why it has gone straight into the paintshop once the window was repaired as it was not due to go in just yet.

still think possibly highwayman

Haven't seen 5400 for a few weeks (mainly because i am only ever out of the house 2-3 days each week) so the chances of me seeing it is quite slim.

Hopefully we see some of them in the NE but well probables get Hybrid Streetlites.... haha

Hopefully if they do get new buses, it'll mean that there won't be spares on the routes all the time....

We also have to think about the changes to the routes GNE want to do.

Yep. Now the consultations have closed, id say decisions will be made very soon on what to do. If the Diamond proposals do go ahead, i can see a PVR decrease meaning some will go red?

Nice shots, Gary. Good to see somebody taking advantage of the different areas around that network for photos. I would say ''venturing'' out to the different areas but Robert would probably have my life over it. Tongue
