What is the quote button supposed to do? All that happens when I click on it is it changes between a green + and a red - ! The computers in the library were all renewed a year or so back so they're not that old!
You should go back to the previous system!

Please refer to all posts in this thread: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...p?tid=1113
This should answer any of your points regarding website issues.

With regards to going back to myBB 1.6, there'd be no point. Liam and myself have worked hard to get the forum to where it is today, and to create workarounds to all of the problems we've come across. Whilst we are still working on resolving some of the issues, some are ongoing due to the lack of time we can devote to doing this as well as the fact that there isn't actually a fix (yet). This is a hobby, and we have other things to worry about outside of the hobby besides this website.

The "Quote" button is used for when you wish to quote multiple posts within the same post. Once you've clicked the buttons on all of the relevant posts you wish to quote, you should click "Reply"
Clearly your issues are temperamental because you're using the quote/reply facility well enough now...

I think citaro5284 was getting at the fact that you've got about six (or more - I've lost count) accounts, all of which are under completely different names.

Delays to the Economics again this evening.

1610 E1 turned up at circa 1620, 1623 E6 at the same time, 1617 E2 at 1625 - so all three were in Park Lane at the same time, and matters were made worse by the time they got to Fawcett Street...

Looked on Twitter and one had been cancelled too.

Getting like the 56! Tongue

The issue with streamlined frequencies as I discussed in one of my posts the other day - though the problem with the Economics are that each of the services are only every 20 minutes, meaning that it probably is worse than GNE's 56 service, as if the E2 is the only one you can get and it is regulated, you have to wait a further 20 minutes opposed to 10.

300

Thanks
Further confirmation of withdrawn Stockton MANs (with thanks to Danny Howard on 'Busesnortheast' Facebook Group) are as followed:

22455 (S455 OFT)*
22477/87 (T477/87 BNL)
22667/70 (V667/70 DDC)

*note this vehicle is listed as moving into Hartlepool reserve on the latest fleet card

All 5 are being stored at Hartlepool depot.

Additionally, 22210 (T210 TND) was parked along the back fence at Stockton this morning in the 'dead row' alongside an unidentified ex-Newcastle T-BNL example parked alongside 22465. By 4pm however both had disappeared from there.

Also in the yard at that time was 27158, complete with fleetnames etc. This suggests it will on the run-out allocating sheet in the morning.
I'm guessing the above have all arrived then? Will add them to fleet lists this evening...

The last to arrive is 27169, which is the final 'TIme Zone' branded example. 27170/1 are due in the coming week carrying the second version of 'The Zone' branding, which of the three remains to be seen (more details should be known on Tuesday morning).

24106 returned from Sunderland paint shop yesterday and like sisters 24111/2, re-entered service today, ending the day on 52/58s (more odd workings - see rare working thread). It is expected that 24107 will be the next to head to the paint shop, backed by its non-appearance today. That leaves just 24110 of the 'Megarider' branded examples on the road at Stockton.

All 9 unbranded ADL E300s were in service today - 27158 followed the example of 27157/65 by debuting on the 52 today (as well as working a 58). 27157 however is likely to be VOR for the next 2 or so days after one of its passenger doors was damaged along Norton Road this afternoon.

Ta - have you got any photographs of the "Time Zone" branding yet? 'Tis news day tomorrow! Tongue

No, I don't - they are shut away in the depot. I did see 27166 on Tuesday night over the pits (think I said that then) but wasn't in a position to photograph it (plus camera was wet so couldn't actually take a photo anyway). I'm at the depot in the morning (to help get L544 ready for its final trip of the year - trip round a few North Yorkshire Independent depots) but I fear any photos of the branded E300s will probably not be for publication yet.
27170 (SN64 OJV) actually arrived at Stockton depot on Friday evening. It wears the blue 'Zone Out' version of 'The Zone' branding.

RE photos of them - as expected, you'll be waiting until the day they enter service (said to be 7th November) before there's any photos of the branding. However, I can reveal that each version has different nearside/offside route detailing ('Time Zone' for example has Middlesbrough-Stockton-Norton every 7 1/2 minutes' on nearside and the incorrect 'North Tees Hospital-Billingham-Hartlepool' on the offside). At present, only 27166 has received fleet numbers, the rest remain in as-delivered condition.
Anyone know why the drivers not only have a card to place on top of the ticket machines but then have a small black fob to? This is on the dashboard.
Also why do drivers have there licence round the neck now?

The fob is for the greenroad and it's not a driving licence it's our Driver Qualification Card for our CPC

From what I heard a taxi had dropped its passengers off near st James stadium then decided to do a u-turn in the middle of the street, driver was too late to break and ended up hitting the rear end of the taxi smashing the taxis rear windscreen and denting the rear bumper
