North East Buses

Maybe because most people on this forum is only interested in GNE?

Not getting in to no one but some just focus on 1 company.

The fleetlist that I worked alongside was updated in June/July or so (whenever NEB's fleetlists were created), and it hadn't been updated on there either! :p

Come on chaps no point going down the argument role, its just a bus

I have a question, the R-COO Darts and S-KHN Darts, are these still in Service down here? i ask as the rest of the batch was in service in the North West and Wales and have all been withdrawn and all apart from one or 2 KHN Darts up here have been scrapped.

Nine R-COO Darts remain in service - for specific fleet details, see here.
Fourteen S-KHN Darts remain in service - again for more specific details, see here.

The changes for the Arriva 22 and 23 are below:

The 22 is re-routed around Helford Road and Southway and the 23 is re-routed in Hartlepool to terminate the same way as the 57A (ie no longer serves ASDA).

Don't know the changes for the 24 yet.

Saw Pulsar 1481 NK61CYU on the 685 yesterday, would've been the 10:45 from Newcastle.

There was a Pulsar on 23s today. First time in a while I've seen anything bar a Solo on the 23!
The 24 of course gets a good ol' mish-mash of everything though!

I seen a pulsar on a few weeks back, but certainly rare for that to happen though. What's been on the 24, something other than pulsar and Omnicity.

Pulsars and Omnicitys only as of late - my comments were more so in regards to what the "allocation" was previously like.
Lowlanders were previously quite common too though, prior to Omnicitys moving from various depots over to Jesmond for the 685.

Heading away from Peterlee at around 16:30 today was a Solo operating the 24. Seen a couple of late - must stand in for Omnicities and Pulsars when they're unavailable.

Do some journeys not run with solos that work off/onto 23.

Pulsar on the 24 just left park lane

The information of a until date was on the X1, but its also on the 1 and 1B for the same date. unless connecteesvalley hasn't put the from 27/10/13 up yet on there website.

Yes there are plans to replace them eventually next year. Durham's R-COO Darts are to move to Stockton with 1638 once they get replaced with 13xx Darts transferred from Darlington in a few months. The R-COO Darts at Stockton and Darlington are due to be replaced next year with more transfers and new stock.

does the x6 still run

No this service was replaced by our new service 54 between Newcastle and Shiremoor, and then by service 51 from there to Whitley Bay

ahh cheers for that

4653 is reported to have transferred to Belmont from Darlington. Anyone have any further information on this?

No, but I did spot an un'identified Temsa NIS heading South at the back of the Team Valley yesterday morning.

Not sure why it was there or what it had been doing - presuming they are all still based on Teesside?

Best place for them - keep your thinnest seat cushioned buses for a nice long run from the Boro to Scarborough !

At least they've had the sense not to use them on the X15/X18 - four hours to Berwick - no thanks!
