6137 has broken down at Eldon Square, meaning complete lost milage on the 1940 X70 out.
Brakes locked on.

Presuming that the Streetlites will be branded, will the Blaydon Racers brand be refreshed on a Red & Blue base livery or was it just done for quickness when making each vehicle profile?

I think the brand would look quite good on red and blue colour base although i know that was a little off topic. 



Also spotted that 9099 has gone back to Washington for further trails on the X1 - http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/it...peratorF=2&fleetnoF=9099

(16 Jan 2017, 11:56 am)Michael Ah right, wonder if it could be the remaining B10's replacing the Cadets?

More of the Scania variety actually, being done by Thorntons. Believe Proctors have picked up some of the coaches. Thorntons/Blackburn also due the cascaded Mercs to tidy up I understand. Open to correction.

Cool, thanks for the info, surprised it's not the older versions though although with cascades, i can see quite a few Scania's getting withdrawn.



Hopefully the Waggonway get's better Scania's.

The Y-reg Scanias are plagued with ABS issues making them unsuitable for trainers.
