(25 Oct 2016, 1:53 pm)Michael Couple of photo's of the next batch of Omnidekka's for GNE have been put online:

664 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/134741049@...255921870/

628 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/134741049@...438127662/

Looks like they're still at Brighton though

(25 Oct 2016, 4:19 pm)JP6004 How many are due? I presume at least 3 to cover rest of DFDS

(25 Oct 2016, 5:02 pm)S813 FVK 8 in total, 3 of which have already arrived leaving 5 outstanding.

(26 Oct 2016, 1:10 am)park5354 628 will be 6143

664 will be 6147.

Brighton & Hove's training fleet is being upgraded. As such, two Scania OmniDekkas will be retained by Brighton & Hove to release two single-decks from their own fleet to the training fleet.

Therefore the transfer of three Scania OmniDekkas is outstanding - not five. They will be numbered as follows:
  • 628 (YN04 GKA) - 6143
  • 664 (YN55 NFC) - 6145
  • 661 (YN55 NFE) - 6146
6145 is arriving today, and the other two will arrive on Sunday.

Clippers must have taken a hammering today. Noticed 6106 went NIS at Whitley Bay Cemetery towards Newcastle with one closely behind then about 15 minutes later, went back in service. Could be down to half-term passenger numbers as well as no show 306/308s due to the roadworks at Billy Mill and the general maintenance taking place on the Coast Road.

Hopefully, means the same allocation throughout for the 327 and the other 2 buses which are DDA?, can move else where.

Few services in Sunderland running late too, waited 15 minutes for a Stagecoach 3, then around the same for the Stagecoach 23 (Both run every 10 minutes), also noticed the 12/13 running together.

6131 still has branding as I photographed it parked up in Consett Bus Station this morning.

6127 (which I'm on now) still does, as does 6126 which passed me a few minutes since.
