What's happening to the old B7s currently on the angel?
Had the misfortune to travel on 3965, this morning. Nee heating. Poor driver couldn't even de-mist his windscreen adequately while it was -4, outside.
(08 Jan 2018, 6:28 pm)Dan Wasn't on a normal Coaster board - it was on a scholars board (does scholars 664, then X39, then a 1). They should all be in service on the 1, properly, tomorrow. The few that made their way out on various services today were to avoid losing mileage due to a high VOR.
6069 will be the spare for Coaster (PVR 14), in Big Days Out livery.

Looks like the Volvo Olympian's haven't got long left on the Jewish school contracts, they'll be replaced by OmniDekka's, once the ex London B9's start to enter service.

5326 has also returned from refurbishment, it returned on the 5th January.

(08 Jan 2018, 8:14 pm)S813 FVK That would be a complete waste of money.
6069 retaining its Big Days Out branding does mean that 3 of the buses branded are based out of 1 depot. Social Media and on-bus posters make up for it, but I'd have thought that spreading them out across the region would be best to raise awareness, especially to those who do not use social media/the bus to see the adverts.

(08 Jan 2018, 9:03 pm)Tom Yeah I agree, maybe 5274 should go to Stanley or Washington. Then again isn't 5274 branded for something to do with Tynemouth.
