(12 Oct 2015, 4:16 pm)Dan DanPicken's edit is correct: 4952 is the one which is at Riverside, and it was moved across from Saltmeadows at 14:00 today.

I believe DiagTest purchased one (which I thought was 4950), but possibly swapped for 4952?

What will DiagTest do to it?

Maybe use it for spare parts. I think they bought a Cadet too.

(12 Oct 2015, 5:02 pm)mb134 Not sure how accurate this is, but I've heard there was some issues with the journey on the Bedlington Station school run this morning (bus was late/didn't turn up, didn't fully understand what they were saying), do you know anything about this?

Sounds feasible as the 09:27 & 09:55 appearances at Ashington Bus Station were about 20 minuets late.

Not great on GNE's part then, if that school service was late, doesn't set a very good first impression at all...

Of course, we do not now what the reason was.....maybe out of GNE's control (not saying it was), but some things are not just back and white.

Yeah but passengers won't care. They'll just blame it on Go North East anyway. What usually happens and annoys the hell out of me.

Not saying it is their fault at all, and I don't even know for sure what happened, just bad impressions is all.

I would imagine so not sure if they'll be done before the 25th October though... they have to do the new V7/V8 to, and it looks like they'll be introduced to the 6/X70/X71 to.

Omnidekkas. They do have NSA systems installed (with the visual announcement system seeing use as the Bus Stopping sign too).

It was only updated and released publicly this afternoon.

The real time feature is still in testing stages and there are a few 'bugs' with it which perhaps explains the lack of publicity at this stage. I'm sure some of you would have spotted some of the bugs/glitches already - I've seen a few enthusiasts twisting on Facebook about it.

One bug I've noticed is services showing on the wrong stands in Eldon Square and Durham Bus Station, example Newcastle X21 in Durham Bus Station is showing up on stand A when it actually uses B and also shows the wrong times in some cases.

Hopefully the bugs/glitches can be fixed soon.

One thing that i have noticed is that some points appear to be in bold. Are these the timing points (havent checked the timetables to see if the bold stops match).
