(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.
Thought it would of been after the Sunderland Airshow?, which starts on 27th July, they seem confident all of the work will be done by then.
The next Major closure is the Metro which Go North East are running 2 out of the 5 Metro replacement services for that half of day.
I thought work would of been done after these days so work/repaints can be continued on the current fleet.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
