(29 Apr 2016, 1:58 pm)Dan That was 5420 (NK16 BYA) which arrived a few days ago - it was parked around the side of the depot later, ahead of the arrival of 5423 (NK16 BYD), which was delivered at approximately 13:00:

5421 (NK16 BYB) and 5422 (NK16 BYC) are both due to be delivered this afternoon too.
I understand 5423 (NK16 BYD) will be the first example to be branded up on Monday, so I'd probably disregard the rumours suggesting one of these will make an appearance at the Metrocentre Bus Rally on Sunday.

(29 Apr 2016, 2:22 pm)Dan It's much too early for me to suggest anything!
Look out for more buses shooting over to Salties for a blue repaint over the coming weeks, and keep an eye out for teasers on Go North East's website and Social Media...

(29 Apr 2016, 4:02 pm)Dan It was reported that it was due to be withdrawn - not that it had been withdrawn.
542 was only withdrawn from service this morning (after operating three journeys on services 2/2A) and sent to Saltmeadows around noon.

(29 Apr 2016, 4:24 pm)Simmy Just a stab in the dark.... as the 19 is currently allocated corporate livered vehicles, 4973 and other Scanias could be recieving a new version of Cobalt branding. 4979-4982 would then transfer elsewhere.

(29 Apr 2016, 4:37 pm)Tom Not a bad idea - 4978-82 could go on the 17 with another couple of Scanias and branded up.

(29 Apr 2016, 4:45 pm)South Tyne Lad Is it worth branding them though? Considering 4967-4976 were new in 2003 with the B7RLEs new a year later.

I would like to see the Citaros allocated to the more demanding services, Blaydon Racers and The Crusader wastes there ability in my opinion.
Look at the X7 Examples, Still a lot left in them after being on there for nearly 2 years now.
