Ongoing withdrawals certainly make the X25, 28 and 21 spares somewhat interesting...

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

I honestly thought the 128 came back this year, just pleased I didn't tell two people heading to Beamish Museum from Durham Bus Station a few Saturdays back about the 128, otherwise they will have been annoyed when they found out that this bus service doesn't exist (at least anymore).

No 128 this year, mind I have a feeling that it mainly just took people to Beamish in the morning and back in the afternoon, then the rest of the day probably just took local passengers off other GNE services like the 16/16A.

706 is parked up at the front of the depot, it has been moved at some point as it was on the opposite side when i passed this morning.

4927 still has the old logo on the front - probably not worth replacing it with it only having a couple of months left.

5402's next stop announcements are not working either - just a plain black screen with no audio. I did manage to get a short video to go with it so I'll go and send that off to the people necessary since I have no idea why I posted that here!

Think that branding would be sufficient for 88/88A when the versas cone up for either replacement or repaint.

I was thinking the same for the likes of the 9/61 and services with an irrelevant brand like the 11/97.

Thanks.

At the moment, the announcements aren't (or shouldn't be) working on 5399, 5400, 5402, 5404 and 5406. This is because they have received an updated media file which has yet to be route-tested before being publicly launched, and also fitted with a cable which allows remote access to the announcements on the bus (over the passenger Wi-Fi) , removing the need for manual updates on the bus itself.

The testing of the new announcements is in the pipeline early next month all being well, and was planned to coincide with the launch of new vehicles on Black Cats 2/2A and 39 and impending service changes to the indiGo network at Washington, so that the audio announcements are consistent on the shared corridors of these routes.

Service 61 will be branded for Black Cats, when all of the new Wright Streetlites enter service at Deptford on services 2/2A and 39. A news story will be going out about this, and the significant investment of over £3m in new vehicles for Sunderland, on Go North East's website in the coming days.

As of today, Go North East will accept contactless payments on its Quaylink Q3 service. If the pilot is successful, it is planned to be rolled out fleet-wide early next month, presumably in line with Catch the Bus Week.

5472 and 5475 have arrived, that now means 9 have arrived out of the batch of 18, both will be branded tomorrow and i wouldn't be surprised if they enter service after.


Has it been confirmed where the Versa's are going from 2/2A?
