(07 Jun 2015, 7:54 pm)Robert The NEB fleet news is now up - no announcement as of yet on the forum so thought id post in here. Same for other operators too.
As always - you're too quick!
It's in the process of being published now - few more articles to go...

(07 Jun 2015, 7:52 pm)Robert Davey will feel betrayed.
As the great Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has said numerous times over the years, It doesnt matter what Davey thinks
.I would also question whether Davey even uses any of the services in which he has suggested cascades for, god knows where he is from, could be Washington, Ashington, Newcastle, Bishop Auckland or bloody Space for all we know.

I ponder that question every time I see one of his posts.

Should do one of those things where you guess the name of the Teddy Bear, but instead we guess where Davey lives, winner gets a 3 Zone+ Buzzfare Ticket.

(07 Jun 2015, 7:52 pm)Malarkey Scania E400MMCs.
Could they cope with the hills at Newbottle, the incline up to Shiney and Old Durham Road?
The Gemini's struggle on the slip roads onto the Highway, but I think that is more to do with the gearing, than anything else.

Or maybe your too slow?
I don't know why i viewed the News page to be honest this time though...i usually wait until the announcement pops up to say its completed because if i click the news to several times knowing it has not being completed, i will just be wasting clicks.

No idea but they have a 9 Litre Engine though like the Geminis.

Just pimp them out with plugs and stick them on the 20 then.
Never managed to catch 6099 or 100 eastbound, so unsure as to how they cope on Houghton Cut.
The empty deckers using the A690 after a Rainton Bridge run or an X1, seem to fly up.

Ok. My guess is Whitley Bay.

Not sure where exactly but I think it is somewhere local to the 308/309 routes as he is often banging on about them.

I love DB to bits - particularly the passion and conviction he shows.
But, due to the constant reference to both (unless it is misleading like my references to the village 1 mile south if Bournmoor), Willington Square and Formica - either Willington Square or Norham Road areas.

Gonna try and knock up a fake one eh?
I'll still accept it as a prize. I'm not fussy.
May change my answer to New York.

(07 Jun 2015, 8:42 pm)Malarkey Need a more concrete answer jimmi.Whitley Bay?
No idea as I have pretty much no local knowledge beyond Newcastle Haymarket Bus Station.
Can I have cash instead as GNE tickets are no use to me.

I initially had Whitley Bay but you can have it and I'll take New York.
Don't think there's much chance of a cash prize equivalent unless Malarkey agrees to photocopy a few £20 notes or create the new £27.50 note which the economy currently craves.
