1401-3 have a few more years left in them. They drive better now then they did when they were new.

If anything was to happen with the Northumbria Depots, I'd reckon to keep the competition authorities happy that Stagecoach will get Blyth with Ashington & Jesmond going to GNE.

I would expect service cuts to see off a few oddities (1759 another one), but as has been said wouldnt expect 1401-3 to go anytime soon.

As a passenger, these are pleasant buses to travel in. At least they don't have the creaks and groans that some of the (much newer) Gemini's have!
Has Blyth's 1760 returned from Thornton's yet - anyone seen it?
Looking at the accident damage to the nearside rear corner of 1766, I wonder if it will be repaired- maybe it's not viable.

My dad sent me a picture early in plain blue at gardiners, Ashington. It is rumoured to be being done up for the 58 so guessing they have the contract for longer.
1766 don't look repairable. Nothing has even showed up to replace it yet. 1922 still around as it was at the 500 group running day on Sunday so they could send that to blyth.
