(30 Aug 2016, 8:37 pm)Brian13 Hate GNEs new website. The new contracts aren't on such as the nexus 13 and 554 or the 960. Plus the 37 is still there. Never loads properly or has our services which I found quite helpful.

(30 Aug 2016, 8:43 pm)S813 FVK You're right about the other two, but the 554 is on the website:
http://www.gonortheast.co.uk/timesfares/554#timetable
It was suggested that there was a reason why the Nexus contracted services were not put on the website although it was never stated, nor can i see a reason why they shouldn't but hopefully something is sorted soon.

They've made it really hard to find diversion news, especially on the mobile view.
I find the site pleasantly...bland

(30 Aug 2016, 10:13 pm)BusLoverMum I love the Omnicities and think it's a shame they're not aging well. Same with the Citaros - the best ones are the best single deckers out, but they're showing their age, already.

(30 Aug 2016, 10:34 pm)Ambassador The Omnicities have never had an easy life mind, be interesting to see how the Streetlite perform after a while. My first experience of them was when Stanley ran them on the 709 and 728, bear in mind we were on either DAFs or Deltas then, it was a hell of an upgrade.
Then they turned up on the 21. Performance wise they were fine, capacity and suitability...well, let's hope someone got fired.
I do like the premium feel of the Citaro. The Versa and Streetlites just feel like the entry level trim...in fact more aptly they are the Dacia of the bus world, cheaper, economic, easy to repair but short on aesthetics and passenger comfort

I love omnicities more than citraos. Was hoping for omnicities on 27 but that never happened shame.
(30 Aug 2016, 9:14 pm)Brian13 Oops didn't see that 554. Just assumed it would be missing like the othets. I hope so too. Have to go to Nexus website for the gne nexus runs. 960 is still down as Kingsleys on there though.

(30 Aug 2016, 7:01 pm)South Tyne Lad I wasn't talking about Omnicitys on that bit.Are you sure? I've seen plenty of omnicities at Stanley drive off before door closing. Might just take a few seconds to start closing once pressed but I wouldn't be quick to rule out that some others haven't had theirs disabled also.
Yes, All Omnicitys bar 5259 still retain there door open brake.

Does the 29 still require a Nexus branded bus? It has had the same bus on it for a good week now. N?61FJO, is this by chance the only branded one left?

Just seen CLS' beamish bus gan past. Have to say, I much prefered the unbranded streetlites. I guess I prefer plain colours rather than text and different colours over buses. The two tone streetdecks look better with it, but I really liked the look of the black omnicities and midnight blue citaros with no branding except from the corporate logo. Same story with the streetlites, much preferred corporate red than branded up.
Which 9 run is 3888 (or other P.M buses) on for from North Shields?
