sorry if this has been said before but does this transfer mean 6132 will be allocated to the 434 on weekdays or will that be something else?

(08 Jan 2017, 10:52 am)Dan It has.

6143 is due to receive its promotional livery next week.

Any idea how long it'll be on for?, just sometimes promotional livery's are only on for a few months.

6127 has aquired some serious damage whilst on the X30 to Stanley in Whickham. The engine bay has fallen, almost touching the road. As such, the passengers were transferred onto the 6.
Last night, 6121 reversed into a parked X30 52?? at E.S, meaning the passengers had to be transferred onto the 6 then, too. The windscreen of the Omnicity remains smashed.

Wonder how that has happened?, sounds serious, hopefully not out for a long time.

6127 is much the problem one of the batch.

Sounds like the Loose Sealing's, Which I and others have posted about on the forum in the past ( Where the whole rear of the bus was shaking away from the rest of the bus ) Have gave in completely, -
Detaching the Engine bay from the main body of the bus.

Its a problem common in the Solar's and Omnidekka's, And nothing's been done about it.

Speaking of knackered vehicles. 8266 seemingly limped back to the depot this morning. Saw it going very slowly along Mandela Way. Sounded very rough too.

No doubt be withdrawn very soon

Hopefully it'll be replaced soon since it's the last one in the fleet.

5443 is on the 16/16A board that 4896 (which has been withdrawn) used to operate today. It should be in Durham in the next 20-30 minutes and it will do the Stanley - South Stanley 16 later tonight.

No working rear destination yet but it is much quieter than the Euro 5 examples.

Wonder if it's being kept alive, by donations from examples past?

Curious to see what replaces it, when it does go.

So because it broke down it's going to be withdrawn?........

I'd hope that isn't GNE's policy like.

This bus has broke down loads in past few weeks. It could also be going for the livery to be applied

Damn! Got my times completely wrong and will probably end up just missing it.

Thanks for letting me know.
