(22 Jul 2016, 11:54 am)EL1TE How come there is a Cobalt Clipper in Riverside depot?

Annual PSV Test I would think, there was a Tynedale Links MPD parked up on the VOR Line yesterday evening.

Presumably 556, which was expected to transfer earlier this week from Hexham after returning from the Whitley Bay Rally.

Talking of Cobalt Clippers I noticed one yesterday had its lettering about the Metro Radio recorded NSAs removed. Is this just a one off or is it a hint that the 309/310 will shortly have Emma's voice used?

TEN 10/10A/10B/10X, Angel 21, indiGo North Tyne 40/41/42 , Citylink 58, Cobalt Clipper 309/310/X39 and Quaylink Q1/Q2/Q3 are all planned to be voiced by Emma Hignett in the near future.

Metro Radio vinyls (if present) will be - or have been - removed from the above vehicles, ahead of this happening.

The announcements will temporarily be turned off on the TEN, indiGo North Tyne, Citylink and Quaylink vehicles from this Sunday.

Airshow Shuttles for this evening were:

A1: 6099/6100
A2: 6011/6029 & 6055

The assistant depot manager for Deptford was at hand directing passengers on where to go and what bus they needed to get on, we also had a nice chat about the 82's which may of pushed a few corporate buttons, but that is far as we go on that  Tongue

Just out of curiosity, is 5292 still held at that place in Birtley after that accident last November, it seems like ages since it's been out - did it ever actually go into service on the 16/16A?
