(29 Aug 2015, 9:33 am)Dan Not sure, sorry. I need to be on a computer to be able to answer that one, and I'm currently sat on a Coast & Country..!

Doesn't really matter know just left South Shields on 6100.

(29 Aug 2015, 9:24 am)Dan I believe Dennis MPD 547 will be retained in the fleet at Peterlee for now (more on that next week), but Volvo B10BLE 5162 should be withdrawn from today (hasn't been allocated to service yet).

All of the transfers relating to the loss of Nexus Misc Works contracts should take place this weekend - will confirm as and when they take place.

I will be upset if 547 is withdrawn

It will be in the future, when is the question.

It will be eventually.

9108 is coming into Sunderland very soon. On the 12:02 20A from South Shields, running 10 minutes late.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - DanPicken - 29 Aug 2015

What time out of Durham will it be?


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - Adam - 29 Aug 2015

(29 Aug 2015, 12:08 pm)DanPicken What time out of Durham will it be?

After looking at the timetable, I think it will be on the 13:42 20A, but it may be regulated with it running 10 minutes late when I boarded. I'm not sure how late we are currently running. Currently at Rainton Bridge if that's any help.

It shouldn't be regulated as it serves different places to the 20.

Doubt they would regulate a service that is only 10 minutes late (unless it will have an impact on driving hours)

Aye it would seem strange! If it's during the day too, I've seen them just to the changeover in an unusual place. The most unusual being a late running 4 diverting to the depot, so they could stick a leading driver on for a run or so!

I bet you any money when the NEB news is updated sometime today the demonstrator will be on there 9108 nice ride like a Gemini 2 but a lot smoother went on it 2 days ago and is better than the usual batch I can now see GNE ordering these to replace the older single deckers eg renowns and the y reg dollars could order them for highwayman to start with

For god sake...i actually wonder whether asking when the news will be up slows Dan down and ends up not updating it 'on time' (if there is a proper schedule)


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - Michael - 30 Aug 2015

Can u not just wait instead of posting it every week!


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - Jackamcardle - 30 Aug 2015

You've almost just got to accept that every other week on a Sunday Bazza will talk about the news.

But he doesn't need to! All the news is basically just what has been said over the past couple of weeks in the relevant threads. Not too common that something new is embeded in it.

I got back home at about 05:15am following a night shift at Riverside for almost 11 hours. The news isn't getting typed up for hours yet.
