FTransbus MPD 561 NK53TLF was seen today in plain Yellow being driven towards Riverside Depot from Blaydon on Trade Plates at around 16:00. The driver was wearing black overalls suggesting not a GNE fitter.

I think it's going to Hexham depot for service AD122

Sure is! Don't know why it was on trade plates though. However, it was going the wrong way for a start (Riverside from Blaydon rather than Blaydon from Riverside)

It may have suffered a problem whilst en - route to Hexham

Red Arrows 6006 has presumably broken down on the stand at Eldon Square. Lights & engine were off, and the destination was showing Not In Service. I know there's a 921 that leaves at 11:10, but I can't see any reason why it would be parked in the stand 15 minutes before its departure stand.

(23 Mar 2015, 12:10 pm)Dan Transbus MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 561 (NK53 TLF) was returned to Deptford this morning, after having additionally been re-trimmed. Hexham's former "Tynedale Links" branded 557 (NK53 TKV) arrived at Saltmeadows this morning in its place for the same treatment.
Stanley's former "Red Kite" branded Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB) is, as we speak, in the process of being prepared for its repaint, ahead of new vehicles arriving for the "Red Kite" services in the coming weeks and its consequent cascade to another service.
There have been no new arrivals today.
Has 5234 returned to Stanley yet, if so what colour?
Also GNE have gave us a sneak peak of the new X66 brand... http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/x66 - from what you can see, it looks good.
While at it for new buses... when they launch the Streetlites on the 8/8A/78/78A will all the info on its tab on the GNE be updated... it still says the 8 goes past the hospital in Sunderland every 30 minutes!
"lime service 8 runs from Chester-le-Street to Sunderland via Rickleton, Harraton, Washington Galleries, Waterview Park and Sunderland Royal Hospital. Buses run every 30 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes".

Looks like it but it looks much better on the blue base than the gold one...

Yeah it looks pretty much the same I think.
It looks like it could look pretty good in this blue mind.

Wonder if the metrognomes will be at the launch?
Could get Dan, Citaro5284 and another two insiders to dress up, do a bit dancing and jig about in front of the cameras.
Shake that toosh!
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - LeeCalder - 25 Mar 2015
To be fair, after my harsh criticisms of using Streetlites on service X66, that does look pretty decent
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - S813 FVK - 25 Mar 2015
In my opinion, the X66 livery looks better on blue than it did on gold.

Mackem to Mackem, I'd be very disappointed in you if you painted your bedroom black!
Stanley's former "Red Kite" branded Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB) emerged from the paintshop today in black, and was sent back to Stanley this afternoon from Saltmeadows Road.
So... Which service(s) do we think that the OmniCitys will cascade down to when they are relieved of their duties on "Red Kite" services 45/46? In the words of citaro5284: let the guessing commence!

Toon Link.

Hopefully the 17!
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015 - S813 FVK - 25 Mar 2015
If you want go down the colour route, either Fast Cats or Loop. I know for a fact it wont happen.

Well the obvious guesses would be The Loop or Fast Cats although I highly doubt we will see them on the Fast Cats as the Solar's were only repainted last year and I don't think the Loop will get them either.
The other guess would be a new brand or just new colour for a service - Toonlink perhaps.
