10's are diverting via Swalwell between Derwenthaugh and Metrocentre. I guess it's either busy or there's been an accident.

It did but they still haven't answered my question on when the Cadets will get branded for the "Black Cats"!...

Really as were getting 8273 back from Hexham, it means all 10 Cadets can become an allocation for the "Black Cats".. with the B10 currently used as a spare.....

I imagine that the cadets will be re-painted before being branded..............so possibly after all these citaros are done?

5/9 of the cadets currently at Deptford have being repainted.. with the remaining 4 + 8273 need to be repainted.... although it was September 2014 when the first 5 were repainted...

Never know, i hope so, the numbers seem to be decent on the 33/33A since it was launched.. and the 39... hopefully the routes will get scania's instead... i can't see it getting Citaro's or new buses......

(12 Aug 2015, 6:38 am)Dan Dennis MPD 619 has transferred to, and has entered service at, Hexham Depot. Transbus MPD 560 still currently resides at Riverside Depot, ahead of transfer to Hexham.

This has released DAF SB120 8273 from Hexham. This vehicle is currently at Riverside, ahead of its return to Deptford.

Michael's post has reminded me that I hadn't yet posted it...

DAF SB120 8273 is now in service at Deptford.

It seems they're doing the B10's from Riverside first before moving else where... which is better than moving from depot to depot...

No idea if the MPD has been out all day, but the paper display on the 239 was causing confusion amongst the older folk, short-sighted and anyone without night vision goggles.
