Looks smart. Dan on your photo of 9090, you mention Go North East are due 4 more Solo's from Dawson Rentals, but i'm sure only 2 were left to arrive or i'm i wrong?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Michael - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:06 pm)Dan Lazy copy and pasting from a previous photo of 9090! I'll let you off... How many more Gemini's need to be repainted? Any of the recent Solo's from Dawson Rentals ready to enter service yet? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Dan - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:13 pm)Michael I'll let you off... 6914 repainted w/e 20/07/18 6901 repainted w/e 27/07/18 6902 repainted w/e 27/07/18 6912 repainted w/e 03/08/18 6906 repainted w/e 03/08/18 6905 repainted w/e 10/08/18 6910 repainted w/e 10/08/18 6918 repainted w/e 10/08/18 6903 repainted w/e 17/08/18 6904 repainted w/e 17/08/18 6908 repainted w/e 17/08/18 6907 repainted w/e 24/08/18 6917 repainted w/e 24/08/18 6919 repainted w/e 24/08/18 6909, 6911, 6913 and 6916 are all currently at Saltmeadows Road having destination displays installed and being prepared for repaint. 6915, I think, is still at Riverside. So lots of work to be done this week...! The Solos are low-priority compared to the B7s, given the urgency in getting them on the road, but 725 has now been repainted into fleet livery while 721 and 724 are currently having the internal modifications done. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Tom - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:28 pm)Dan 6914 repainted w/e 20/07/18 How many are heading to Percy Main? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Dan - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:33 pm)Tom How many are heading to Percy Main? Five in total - 6910 to 6914 inclusive. I believe 6910/12/14 have already landed. 6139 has transferred to Chester-le-Street as a result of the Norham Road bridge re-opening and the resultant PVR decrease of the Cobalt Clipper 309/310 services. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Tom - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:36 pm)Dan Five in total - 6910 to 6914 inclusive. I believe 6910/12/14 have already landed. Cheers! Didn't think it would be many with the amount of Omnidekkas there. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Michael - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:28 pm)Dan 6914 repainted w/e 20/07/18 Thanks, actually think i was wrong with 2 solo's left to arrive, i think its just 720 arrive? What internal modification are they getting again? (27 Aug 2018, 5:36 pm)Dan Five in total - 6910 to 6914 inclusive. I believe 6910/12/14 have already landed. What are the plans for rest of the Gemini's?, still heading to Deptford? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Dan - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:44 pm)Tom Cheers! Didn't think it would be many with the amount of Omnidekkas there. A number of the OmniDekkas will be transferring out to Chester-le-Street, joining 6139 which has just transferred across recently. As I mentioned before, the idea is that the fleets will be standardised where possible. (27 Aug 2018, 5:45 pm)Michael Thanks, actually think i was wrong with 2 solo's left to arrive, i think its just 720 arrive? Yes, just 720 left to be delivered. That one underwent MOT on Friday last week, so delivery should follow at some point this week. Buggy bays need to be created in these Solos as they currently only have wheelchair bays, with the other seats being forward-facing. Go North East's standard is to have one wheelchair and one buggy bay. (27 Aug 2018, 5:45 pm)Michael What are the plans for rest of the Gemini's?, still heading to Deptford? Mostly Deptford, yes. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Tom - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:50 pm)Dan A number of the OmniDekkas will be transferring out to Chester-le-Street, joining 6139 which has just transferred across recently. Ah right, I think theres a few single deck boards at PM for scholars if I'm not mistaken? Multiple ones that GNE have won I've seen operated by a Henry Cooper single decker. (18A, 151 and 664 stand out) - are these going to be Omnicities or am I wrong in saying there's single deck boards. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Michael - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:50 pm)Dan Yes, just 720 left to be delivered.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - JM03 - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 5:56 pm)Michael Thanks, Which depot is the Bluestar Citaro's heading too?, and have they all arrived? Think half’s arrived and are supposed to be going to deptford RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Malarkey - 27 Aug 2018 Heard quite a few people at Seaburn today saying the new MD was at the rally.

I hope you weren't lobbying him about extra routes via Lambton, Mr. Malarkey!! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - Malarkey - 27 Aug 2018 (27 Aug 2018, 7:42 pm)Adrian I hope you weren't lobbying him about extra routes via Lambton, Mr. Malarkey!! Being truthfully honest I did not even see him, if I did I would've asked for a direct route to Newcastle RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2018 - GNE6312 - 27 Aug 2018 5292 it had a bold terminal only display for the 309 whilst at the seaburn bus rally Does that mean bold terminal only displays ??
