(08 Oct 2016, 11:36 am)Dan The running board is as follows:

- 08:12 #V8 (Park Horse - Stanley)
- Services 689 / 687 / 682
- 15:23 #831 (St Bedes School - Stanley)
- 16:05 #90 (Team Valley - Winlaton)
- 17:00 #12 (Blaydon - Newcastle)
- 17:55 #V8 (Metrocentre - Stanley)

Following use on the Tesco Consett service earlier in the day, 604 was allocated to the second half of the running board (831 service onwards) to replace Solo 641. 641 was instead allocated to services 45/47.

Thanks. I thought it must have been the V8 at first (suggested stronger by the timetable) but as it is usually a Venture bus anyway as opposed to a decker like the rest of the scholars services, it has always blended in.

Apart from the fact the rebranding process was started in November 2015 when 6001 was repainted Tongue I understand that it was due to other projects though which is fair enough.

Tongue, ye but still should of been GNE's priority to get them done!


I think they'll be gone next or in a couple of years from the "Red Arrows" anyway as they'll be 5/6 years old...

I was thinking something like this. 4907 was swapped with 4843 (initially 4845) after its incident, albeit that wasn't off the road for half as long as 5292.

3962/65 will be hitting 11 next year and are still a better ride and internally in better nick than the 2012 Hybrids.

I would like to see the TEN group of services receive some new buses, either a full set for the PVR or just to make up the existing branded to a full set, so that Red corporate vehicles don't have to be used. Don't think it is very good having so many TEN service being run by a Red corporate vehicle.

Are the TEN likely to receive an upgrade soon, or even just the few to make up the full PVR in branded spec?

Not sure if i'm right but looking on the fleet list there's only 11 more B10's left in the main fleet... It'll not long before they go.

Didn't even notice they're going do fast.
