5211 expired in Jarrow today and was recovered by an Ian Bradley wrecker. Don't know how long it had been there, but it was awaiting a lift at 1330.

Are Washington going to receive any further deckers. There was a rumour a while ago 3941 and 3942 but they show as at Hexham?

Been like that for a while though, doesn't really matter though, they're normally behind anyway haha

Haha. Has anything being rumoured about different buses for the 50. A washington driver told me a few weeks ago theyd heard the scanias where going due to reliability and with the Angels going to P M. For the 1 I was wondering if there's any truth in it

Ye, Citaro's for the 5 and 50, although that doesn't seem to be true and the Omnicities to Deptford for the 35, that doesn't seem likely, as Deptford have never had Omnicities on a permanent bases.
Hybrids to the Coaster has been rumoured for ages, not sure how true though, if it was, the Omnicities would likely stay at Percy Main for the 11 and 19, replacing all of the Scania's and Eclipses.

I wouldn't mind Omnicities in Sunderland, but i doubt that would happen on a permanent bases.... it was said on here a couple of weeks ago, that the new Streetdecks for the 21, would be arriving in December/January, once again, not sure how true that is.

I can't see what's so special about these new destination screens design
Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2017 - Jamie M - 21 Oct 2017
Are we having a discussion about why enthusiasts are being enthusiastic..?
I personally quite like the change, the destination points are never very helpful, so may as well be a bit more presentable. Also allows night photography to be a bit nicer, instead of the bottom row just being a rectangle of orange/white due to the log delay + text.
