6069 looks like this at the moment - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...0940257984
Also after doing the Tall Ships today, could anyone tell me what the status of these vehicles are as they are the only ones I haven't got photos of....
6905 - LX06EBF - London Gemini
6931 - LX54GZV - London President
6940 - PJ02RBF - EYMS President
I have feeling the two Presidents failed to turn up in the North East, whilst I think the Gemini was parked up at Deptford Terrace all day today.
If 6905 is the only one left I need to photo due to the other 2 not arriving, what other things will the Geminis be used on over the summer.

(12 Jul 2018, 6:08 am)Dan 6905 was taken out of service yesterday afternoon at around 3:30pm as it had an issue with the indicators, this has now been repaired so will be out and about again tomorrow.
6931 was out in service all day yesterday until around 8pm - P&R 4 and 5.
6940 wasn't put through MOT test in time at EYMS to make the journey north, which is why 790 (9093) has transferred north on loan this week.
All of these buses will be taken out of service after Tall Ships to allow work to be completed to them to bring them up to standard for September when they start new duties on their scholars services: fitment of LED destination displays, fitment of Go North East's standard CCTV/low bridge warning devices, any other mechanical work that needs to be undertaken, and potentially some going through repaint, to name a few things on the list.

(12 Jul 2018, 1:19 pm)Dan Yes - as discussed elsewhere on the board, Go North East has been awarded the contracts to operate over 70 Nexus Miscellaneous Works boards from September. The PVR won't increase by 70 as a number of these contracts can be 'tagged' onto services in the main commercial network, and some of these contracts are already operated by Go North East.
So what's here out of the 69xx fleet will stay, and there'll need to be a few more "new" additions to help cover everything...

(12 Jul 2018, 1:43 pm)S813 FVK You are aware they're going to be confined to scholars services the majority of the time that they are needed here, which could only be a year depending on how many contracts are not extended and lost in the next round of tendering?

So no, won't be re-trimmed or fitted with any additional features. Some of them may be repainted next month when they come back out of service, but that's about it, other than being fitted with 'proper' destinations (which is more than what some of the current operators of these contracts have!)
