thought I would mention that in a previous post, about the TEN. if go north east couldn't buy more Volvo b9TL's they could use 6184 6100 6116 6117. then they could source some omnidekkas to the depot where they are now. (this is a suggestion which probably wont happen)

(27 Oct 2016, 4:55 pm)Andreos1 It dropped back in to service at some point later this afternoon, saw it at Springwell about an hour and a half ago, heading towards Easington Lane.Seemed to be some issues on the X1 this afternoon, 9099 and a President came into Eldon Square at the same time with 9099 leaving not in service, also saw two B9's together later on with one leaving not in service.

(27 Oct 2016, 6:31 pm)Andreos1 There was issues in the town apparently. No idea what, but GNE were tweeting about delays.I walked along Blackett Street at around 11:00 and it essentially turned into a bus park as it was littered with buses that weren't moving as that bit which is only really wide enough for one bus had buses on it heading in both directions. Newcastle City Centre seems to be a nightmare at the moment with all the roadworks and demolition works going on and things are probably only going to get worse with Christmas coming, all the Gateshead - Newcastle express services seem to be coming in via the A167(M) and Barras Bridge to reach Eldon Square.
Mind, two Q3's following each other yesterday surprised me!
