Yes, GNE are running a new service 434 replacing the 30 and 34 from October 12th.

Timetable has been on their website for a while now.

I'm sure you were told in the Phoenix buses thread that it was happening....

Volvo B10BLEs 4904 and 4905 are back at Deptford and 4908 and 4909 have gone to Thorntons for DDA mods in exchange.

Coaster OmniCity 5252 also at Thorntons for a deep clean.

Most of the fleet needs that doing.. are they doing all of the fleet (expect for the new buses).



Will the X7 get stop announcements now since it has WIFI?.

6039 is back at Chester after its brief loan to Washington - on the X22 heading past Riverside Depot just now.

Ok then, if GNE were to purchase 8 Streetlites, they could do this to rattle the 100 between the Toon and Metrocentre in retaliation for Stagey extending the 22 to Cobalt:

- 10 remains the same, PVR remains the same (6 B9TLs).
- 10a increased to every 15 minutes (30 evenings, still 30 on Sundays) but changed to single decks.
- 10b remains the same, PVR would remain the same (4 B9TLs).

This would then form a 7/8 minute frequency between Crawcrook and Newcastle allowing the TEN to rattle the 100. Don't know how the evening boards would work out though but that is one way which GNE could get one back on Stagecoach.

To be fair there is already more than enough buses between Newcastle and Metrocentre.

They should just extend the £3.90 day ticket to Metrocentre, should help to combat competition.

Omnidekka 6126 was reportedly involved in an incident with a skip lorry at the Team Valley while operating service X31. Smashed windscreen seems to be the most evident damage.

Aye, nothing major.

Pointless me making this post but as expected, 5250 has indeed been repainted black for the Toon Link PVR increase.

Oh dear haha! To be honest, I never
use the NEB fleet lists that often so wouldn't have seen it. Plus i'm on tapatalk when i made that post so... Tongue

I have, however, had it marked as being in black for ages on my personal fleet list but i just wanted to see it out and about just so i knew it was definitely in black.

At least i was right about my post being pointless though Smile
