North East Buses

I have been told (so take with a pinch of salt) that from May 2025 delivery of Class 555's could be delivered in 3's and possibly 4's instead of pairs like they've been doing

Has anyone got the train running numbers of which ones are new?

I have currently noted down 
GREEN - 102 | 104
YELLOW - 123 

I am sure there is more than 3 in service so which ones am I missing?

102, 104, 121, 123, and 125

They reckon there's still enough of the original Metrocars to operate the full service.

Bet they don't bother with the peak hour short workings, mind .....

I've had word that 555012 and 555014 are arriving next week

555014 was "tagged" at Wembley the other night, be a while til that one is in service

Next 555's to arrive are reported to 555016 and 555035 (why they skipped 555017, don't ask me) also reported to be leaving the network next week is 4003,4010 (finally),4013, and 4040 (also finally)

Yes, Northstar was awarded the contract to operate the “hot spare” for the Metro blockade this week.

Go North East are running the main 901 (and had a breakdown or two today).

Thanks, Dan. Is 422 operating any trips on the 901 today? Or just staying parked up as the spare bus on standby? Was hoping to video it!
