Be sorted by Monday, man!

The others have all had that part of the branding cut off now.

6301 is the one which was most recently branded, which is why that hasn't been done yet.

The internal branding next to one of the power sockets.

This is the sticker that's upside down. And it's throughout the top deck under all tables bar one when I doubled checked. The correct one is the second or third table on the nearside heading to the rear of the vehicle.

Is 6302 still missing front branding?

Yes, the logo needs to be added to the front of the bus on 6302 still.

6306 and 6307 have yet to be branded, so there's obviously going to be an opportunity for this to be added prior to the vehicles entering service.

i suppose it looks the right way up if you're leaning with your head upside down, under the table

No bloody wonder passenger numbers are falling when you change the times every week!

Where will the Canadians flee to when they find out their next door neighbour could be a yank?
Trump might need to build a wall in the north to stop his countrymen leavibg en masse!

The very chirpy driver of my number 6 yesterday.  T'was the 17:02 ish from MetroCentre to Newcastle.

Not content with a nod or a wave whenever he passed an oncoming bus, he launched a full on military grade salute.  Each and every time.  He also managed to tap out a mean tune on the ticket machine for some reason.

While waiting for the Metro home, some Asian women got off a Pelaw one with a Tyre.

Girls cry to Titanic, real men cry to Terminator 2.

Haha, I heard he had to get a bus, if he was getting the Metro he still wouldn't be there yet.

What amused me today...

My girlfriend has told me her daughter is telling all her friends at School I am her dad...

The Missus comes to mine earlier on, the bairn comes running up to me shouting 'Hiya Dad...Is Nana Kaye and Granda Colin in'

My significant other thought it would freak me out, but I am quite touched by it...Considering she has major trust issues that aint her family and that, despite only being with her mother for 3 months, it is nice that she is finding a place in her heart for me and considering me a part of her life and family 😀

It makes me laugh as he gets away with everything including lies more stuff which I won't go in to here

Well there's been two photographs on Flickr which appear to be taken inside the depot.

One from a company employee, and one from Bazza. I presume we're talking about the latter. Who are we to speculate whether the photographs were taken inside the depot, with or without permission? Another photo he uploaded reveals a fence in the foreground, so I'd suggest he has gone next door and taken the photos through their fence.

This old chestnut...getting dragged up yet again...Probably best if you dont go into it any further so as not to antagonise the person which will essentially end up in people ganging up to destroy them.

For what it is worth, my opinion is and always has been that, this person may never learn and the only way to deal with it is to use the threat of prosecution and go through with it by way an asbo or injunction of some kind, until then, it is going to be difficult in my opinion to get the message through

I aint seen any pics myself, so I will take your word for it Dan

I can confirm that these photographs were not taken on Go North East's premises - they were taken from the grounds next door. Go North East staff were present at the time, and confirmed to said individual that they would not be able to take photographs on the depot grounds.

Hoping lessons are being learnt then [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Got to laugh at Alex Garwood as his train got cancelled. Although I'm so glad it wasn't mine! [emoji1]

I've just finished eating my Dinner while at a table seat on 6301, I put the tables to good use

Surprised you didn't end up wearing your dinner. Them's bouncy buses!

I recently found out that until recently half of Murton and a lot of my friends suspected I was gay, as I never bothered with women too much...I was always better at playing cupid for my friends rather than looking after Numero Uno...Probably never helped when I say things like 'If Robbie Williams or Vin Diesel were women, I would be on my back for them' [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Well, last night I was at a party for my next door neighbours 40th and everyone is really happy that I found some girl and happy I am very much in love..Quite a few people are asking me about 'The right time to buy a new hat' [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Halloween 2035...

Must say now, there is still Drifter StreetShites in the Future and I also saw a Yellow MPD and Silver Citaros are still going strong [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

The name David Attenborough has also been suggested as well I think
