(14 Jan 2017, 10:12 am)S813 FVK To create any understanding of the livery, i think its your responsibility to go and find out yourself (and that goes to anybody who doesn't know) - especially as i would say that it is good to have as much local knowledge as possible. I wouldn't say it is the responsibility of the bus as it isn't an advert and, therefore, does not need to take seconds to read.

The small poems on the side are the work of pitman poet Tommy Armstrong himself and also some of the primary and secondary schools in and around Stanley. A poem certainly should not take so little time to read that you don't need to stop.

As GX03 said, it explains why 6132 went to Percy Main instead of 6143. A bus involving a pitman poet and Stanley operating in an area more associated with the shipping industry wouldn't quite work, would it?  Tongue

Do we imagine once the advertisement is over, it will go to Percy Main for DFDS to replace one of the 51 reg tridents?

Has 699 still not had it's MOT done?

Hopefully when it's done, it's the first one branded meaning rest of the buses can start to get the brand, still think the 38 should of joined it....

5419 has been loaned to Chester-Le-Street. I think it's for vehicle shortages.

Survey sounds interesting. Targeting people via email is a positive sign but with Arriva and stagecoach already offering, looks reactive

Is the same one as spotted at Wrights before Christmas?

If so, the others spotted at Wrights should also be here in England.

Midnight Blue Streetlites 5445, 5446, 5447 and 5449, as well as red/blue Streetlites 5451 and 5452 were on last night's shipping from Belfast to Heysham.

The one in the above photograph is 5451.

Yes, the white strip on the most recent new corporate livery repaints has been done as a vinyl as opposed to paint, meaning that the size of the 'swoop' will be consistent.

Cool thanks Dan, do you know where about's the photo of 5451 was taken?

Hopefully the above buses will arrive soon and out in service quickly, so they can start repainting the Citaro's.


Can you confirm where the Citaro's from the Durham Diamond are going yet?
