On another note, 4966 has apparently had the same treatment although this one could be a possible typo?

Well they might in the future? 

I was just saying it will probables confirm that the merits will stay and it'll be the Cadets and Duel door B10's which will be withdrawn?

Thanks - it was repainted red into fleet livery w/c 21st July 2014. I've updated our fleet list accordingly - must have forgot to update it at the time!

Are 3866 and 3867 DDA with the buggage bays?

No - none of the East Lancs Lolyne bodied Dennis Tridents are DDA-compliant.

Not just npower, remember GNE are a business they won't fund an under used service, neither should npower.

Only change to the X1 is the 20:07 service through Rainton Bridge effective from 28/2/2016.

Washington's 6028 was reportedly loaned to Chester-le-Street today for use on the 50 when 5258 broke down at Washington Galleries. Was later replaced with Dennis Trident 3875. Information from Ben Stoves.

Pretty sure that this is the first time 5258 has failed at Chester-le-Street allegedly.

6028 was on the 33 at 5 oclock the Washington run

It was replaced by 3875 on the 12:54 service 50 to Durham, it was already running late, and so it was sent back to Washington and 3875 continued on it's board. Was just a temporary loan from Washington to cover for a broken down vehicle on the 50.

3941 is a canny bus. Was licky enough to have a ride on it when it was on the 9 earlier

There was a problem on the spin e road, this morning. May have been related to that.

It was allocated to service X66 for five trips on 29/01/2016 - this is the only time it has been allocated to a normal public service.

548 still has interior branding for the 40/41/80 and 2 services ive never heard of 85 and 86 in shields surely a good while ago.

Didn't service 80 replace the 85/86?

Think it was the 17

The 85/6 was part of the Centurion along with the 75/6.

(03 Feb 2016, 8:46 pm)Davie wrote [ -> ]Didn't service 80 replace the 85/86?

85/86 was old 315/316.

think coaster 1 replaced the Whitley Bay-Marden Estate-North Shields section, with 310 replacing North Shields-Meadowell-Norham Road.

Saturday evening trips are funded by Ponteland Town Council.
