Am I mistaken in thinking it updates on Monday of every week, therefore it's working perfectly fine as this is the first Monday since 6302 arrived?

I meant from the site to the forum, the site was updated about an hour before the bot post it.
When i checked something on it, it had been updated but the bot didn't post it until later on.
Was just wondering if its bugged............

It refreshes every so often, so whenever it was posted was probably the first time it refreshed.

Ah right!
9119 is back at Riverside and is on the X10
The yellow & blue Hexham Scania is good except, as others have said, it'd look better if the blue was continued around the bottom of the windscreen.

Love is nice I like it makes it stand out
What's happened to 4964? I haven't seen it, or any photos of it for a while.

It's gone to SMR for a red repaint (like 4966). Haven't had chance to update news.
3872 on loan to Washington - should be used on X1 this morning.

When will 6032 go for a repaint?

Not sure how much of a priority it'll be personally? I'd say there's an awfully long queue in front of it, such as the other 11x Red Arrows for a start.

Yeah, i'd have thought that these would have had priority over 4964 and 4966 but obviously not.

I have to admit I can't see the logic behind that one. The new and improved Red Arrows brand has been launched in print, so I'd have thought they'd want the buses branded up asap...
How come arriva are doing more metro replacements this year. GNE should do the major one from tynemouth to shiremoor?
Even the benton to north shields thats coming up.
Not sure if this has already been discussed but any idea why such a jump in Fleet numbers for the new Castles Express noted as 6302.

There was a Red Arrows branded B9 in Saltmedows yesterday. No idea why it was there however.

They can't just decide that they want to do it. Replacement services are tendered for by Nexus.

It looks to be because the Streetdecks are a new bus in the fleet so they have been allocated 63** fleet number series.

Yes but all other new vehicle types into the fleet haven't been given a new fleet number sequence. I know i'm not somebody to say everybody who is saying what you are saying is wrong but that is just my opinion of the topic.

I'm not sure either, i can't remember it ever being confirmed why it jumped to 63**... i just used your post as it seemed more logic.

Yeah, the most likely reason is because of a new vehicle type and wouldn't surprise me if that is revealed as the true reason but it just seems strange how they have never done it before. But everything can change I guess.
3885 now also on loan to Washington. Going on X1 in half an hour, replacing a Scania L94.
