I have heard that commanders 1401 - 1403 will be replaced at Blyth by some 61 plate Darlington Pulsars. Does anyone know if this is true? and what is happening to the commanders?

4813 is at Thorntons, is this just for repairs or will it be repainted into the new eco-green corporate livery - https://www.flickr.com/photos/128789124@...47/in/feed

Presumably repairs, it was involved in a fairly significant collision in which the entire rear end of the bus is pretty messed up a few months ago.

It would be a pretty good assumption to expect this to eventually come back in the new livery - that is of course, it can be repaired! Dont know much about Gas...

Doesn’t look like it’s been touched yet actually, and it would be nice to see it come back in new livery, May as well kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes

(03 Feb 2018, 6:42 pm)NewcastleOne Bit of an update for new Streetlites

1604-NK67EDL
1605-NK67EDO
1606-NK67EDP
?-NK67EDV (Possibly 1607)(in North East)
?-NK67EDX (possibly 1608)(Docks)
?-NK67EEA (possibly 1609)(Docks)
1604,1605,1606 all been delivered got its branding for 1/5/5A
(05 Feb 2018, 1:23 pm)Chris C 1607 is NK67EDR.   There are four anonymous examples at Faverdale today.

NK67EGC is another to have been delivered, at some point before Saturday gone.

[Image: 28448017669_05d57c0cf6.jpg]Arriva North East: NK67EDX by Daniel Graham, on Flickr

Bus Lists on the Web lists the following:
  • 1602 - NK67EDF
  • 1603 - NK67EDJ
  • 1604 - NK67EDL
  • 1605 - NK67EDO
  • 1606 - NK67EDP
  • 1607 - NK67EDR
  • 1608 - NK67EDU
  • 1609 - NK67EDV
  • 1610 - NK67EDZ
  • 1611 - NK67EEA
However, I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is. It would be strange for NK67EDX to be allocated fleet number 1612 up over, when all of the other fleet numbers are allocated in registration order (though 1611 can definitely be confirmed as NK67EEA).

(10 Feb 2018, 4:29 pm)NewcastleOne A few things 

Do you have the full list of regs and numbers of the new wright Streetlite or anyone else?
Does anyone know if all the Optare Tempos have been returned to Yorkshire as I’ve seen pictures of 1308&1311 in Yorkshire?
Also does anyone have a full list of repainted buses? So far I know of 1923,1924,2824,2827,2834,4712.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

4710 and 4717 are two more.

If true, hopefully they'll be the same length as all other E400s in the fleet, bar the current MMCs. The same engine and gearbox set up as 7522-33 would be ideal.

Permeant transfer from what I’ve been told - although no Cadets to be withdrawn yet as 1472 is off for fitting of a new experimental exhaust system. Once 1472 returns, 1428 will replace a Cadet

Stockton should have dropped 1914 already, as that is not part of their official allocation

Stockton still only recieve Pulsars to replace 1916, 1917, 1920 and 1922.

1915 effectively drops out this weekend when the PVR of Service 27A/8 drops by 1.

So, come end of March any Cadets still running will not be retested.
