Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016
5435 has failed in park lane but now back on the route 11 minutes late
(28 May 2016, 10:16 am)Dan 5429 and 5436 are the most recent ones to arrive - both of which entered service yesterday.
See fleet list here for an idea of where we're at with deliveries. The news is now up to date (for Go North East anyway!)
There's roughly a one-week turnaround on all new vehicles being delivered - so it all depends on how many are delivered that week.
5430 arrived at Belfast Docks this morning (will probably go across to Heysham on tonight's sailing) and 5431/38 are both undergoing PDI at the moment. I would expect that there's a high likelihood that these three will all enter service by this time next week.
Worth noting that 5438 is the first Euro 6 Daimler-engined Streetlite for Go North East. The rest of the batch prior to this example are all Euro 5 Cummins.

Been informed by a Yardman at Chester-le-Street that the B10BLEs are due to be sent back to Saltmeadows Road today, as they're no longer required.

6020 replaced 6064 this morning on the 21 due to a defect with the compressor. Volvo attending to see it.
Is 6024 a permanent vehicle at stanley, or a loan for shortages?
