(06 Feb 2016, 3:55 pm)Cock Robin One of the X9/X10s was running all day yesterday with no service number on the front, just the destination!

Did you catch the fleet number or get a photograph?

The colour panel on that vehicle's destination display will have an intermittent fault, which will have to be repaired by Hanover.

one of the bus enthusiasts told me that Go North East are holding back some of the lolynes buses for school routes and they are scheduled to be put in to a special liver that involves some school in tyne and wear.

Presumably you mean livery and not some cannibalistic delicacy involving bus operators and school children?  Huh :s

This has just been put in Gary Devlins group:
Washington depot is getting the 50's & 5's as from 10th April 2016!
88's going to the Riverside!
changes happening to the 82's aswell.

Take this with a pinch of salt,  wouldn't bother me, might have 563.

EDIT: From Steve Morrell. Seems legit.

Interesting, if true.

Least the 88/88A could have a full allocation of Versa if it moves to Riverside.... 

In all this though, it doesn't effect me as i use none of these services.....

Wonder what changes they'll do to the 82's.........

Of course... could be just made up.. so we have to wait and see.

So if that happens we'll have a mixture of Omnicities and Eclipses on the services, along with a brand name which is named after the 50 as its called Whey-aye-five-0 on the 5................


Hope the brand will be changed............ if it happens or the branding will go down the shitter........

(06 Feb 2016, 9:13 am)Dan As mentioned yesterday, Go North East has revealed the new brand for the Red Arrows X1...



The dotted lines represent the advertisement boards, as carried by 3943 and 6001-6003.

Cheers. Looks good up close.

I'm glad they've taken the time to refresh the branding a bit, given that they're due a repaint anyway.

Aren't they first in line to be allocated to the 1 if one of the branded Omni's aren't on the route, as they have WIFI now.

If the 5 and 50 were to interwork, I wonder what would be used, especially as Go North East don't seem to like mixed allocations, wonder if it's possible that Washington could get the Cobalt Connect branded Omnicitys currently used on service 19 (plus maybe a unbranded example) to use alongside the current Whey Aye Five-O Omnicitys on the 5 and 50 with the Volvo B7RLE's transferring to Percy Main for the 19.

I'd guess that WiFi was installed to 5273/74 in order to ensure the same premium features are provided, even when a spare vehicle needs to go out on route to cover. I can't see them moving, as no other Omnicity allocated service has WiFi at present.
