(13 Jun 2016, 8:23 am)thebat37 Saw a pair of Brighton Omnidekka's heading north up the A1 yesterday. They could have been going anywhere but does anyone know if GNE is getting anymore?

Two delivered yesterday, and it was noted on here that they'd been taken to Stanley and then on to Riverside.

I think it's one to wait and see beyond that.

A photo has appeared on one of the many North East Facebook Group of the two transferred Omnidekkas (see attached - copyright belongs to Michael Mccalla) which are GX03 SSZ and GX03STZ - the two convertible open top versions

Could this indicate GNE gaining the Sight Seeing route from stagecoach?

I just saw (and heard) 547 (I think) come up along the A692. I heard it before I saw it, and it was similar speeds to the broken V327LCG the other day. I don't have high hopes for any of those two buses, they sound ill and make the street smell awful.

I'd say it's more a case that it's a continuation of the 03-reg batch GNE received last year. 617 & 618 form part of that.

No - it means it's still out of service whilst parked up at Hogarths, Birtley.

It was involved in a fatality whilst in service. It's an ongoing legal case, so not open for discussion on the forum.

I've seen by riverside vykings up near lanchester before on training, I feel they just go where ever there's an area that fits a specified list of requirements. If you see my picture on flickr https://flic.kr/p/HYseA7 this particular bus has been floating around Lobley Hill and everywhere imbetween there and Percy Main.

No, but they may be using the DFDS buses in between runs on the Bergens for route learning.
