How many more Gemini's need to be repainted?

Any of the recent Solo's from Dawson Rentals ready to enter service yet?

6917 repainted w/e 24/08/18
6919 repainted w/e 24/08/18

6909, 6911, 6913 and 6916 are all currently at Saltmeadows Road having destination displays installed and being prepared for repaint. 6915, I think, is still at Riverside.

So lots of work to be done this week...! The Solos are low-priority compared to the B7s, given the urgency in getting them on the road, but 725 has now been repainted into fleet livery while 721 and 724 are currently having the internal modifications done.

Five in total - 6910 to 6914 inclusive. I believe 6910/12/14 have already landed.

6139 has transferred to Chester-le-Street as a result of the Norham Road bridge re-opening and the resultant PVR decrease of the Cobalt Clipper 309/310 services.

A number of the OmniDekkas will be transferring out to Chester-le-Street, joining 6139 which has just transferred across recently.

As I mentioned before, the idea is that the fleets will be standardised where possible.

(27 Aug 2018, 5:45 pm)Michael Thanks, actually think i was wrong with 2 solo's left to arrive, i think its just 720 arrive?

Yes, just 720 left to be delivered. That one underwent MOT on Friday last week, so delivery should follow at some point this week.

Buggy bays need to be created in these Solos as they currently only have wheelchair bays, with the other seats being forward-facing. Go North East's standard is to have one wheelchair and one buggy bay.

Ah right, I think theres a few single deck boards at PM for scholars if I'm not mistaken? Multiple ones that GNE have won I've seen operated by a Henry Cooper single decker. (18A, 151 and 664 stand out) - are these going to be Omnicities or am I wrong in saying there's single deck boards.
