Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2019 - Dan - 01 Feb 2019 (28 Jan 2019, 7:03 pm)Michael Looks like new coaches are arriving soon according to the fleet list.... (28 Jan 2019, 7:10 pm)Dan Hasn't been this much discussion on the forum in months...! The coaches are going to be re-registered prior to delivery, due to an issue at the DVLA. 7138 will now be registered BM68 AHA 7139 will now be registered BM68 AHC 7140 will now be registered BM68 AHD 7141 will now be registered BM68 AHE 7142 will now be registered BM68 AHF RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - JM03 - 01 Feb 2019 (30 Jan 2019, 9:51 pm)Michael Could do, they did that with the 9, 61 and parts of the 88/88A, that seems to be working really well.Combine with the 310 so it could receive upgraded buses sometimes if they're both combined, interwork with 11 at whitley and extend 97A to the metro. The 310 dosent even go into proper cobalt and basically skims the bottom of it. So they could make it into 97/310->12(N.Shields to Metro) 97A->12A (Metro to Town) X97->12X (Same route as now) RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - GNE6312 - 01 Feb 2019 Been waiting in blyth for ages for the 16:26 309 to find on the app that it turned around because it was going to get to blyth 17 mins after departure and ve about 18 minutes late so people have wait 30-40 mins for the next.

Whether it be via the app, sms or something else. I've pointed it out on the technology thread previously.

Going by the delay, he would've been instructed to run light to Cobalt and continue from there. If the alleged changes do go ahead, the reliability should improve (and hopefully the weather too haha) Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Jamie M - 01 Feb 2019 Who was saying hello to me before at Gateshead, any claimers?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - omnicity4659 - 03 Feb 2019 (03 Feb 2019, 1:27 pm)Jamie M What's the punchline? Spotted three X9/X10 G3s in Edinburgh - on private hire. Full and standing, so can't assume they came all the way from Newcastle with passengers? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Dan - 03 Feb 2019 (03 Feb 2019, 1:32 pm)omnicity4659 Spotted three X9/X10 G3s in Edinburgh - on private hire. Full and standing, so can't assume they came all the way from Newcastle with passengers? All three on a Private Hire, and yes, they came from this neck of the woods. There's enough capacity for the number of children travelling, so if they were standing, that was out of choice. Presumably would have been seated on the journey up, and a bit more excitable on arrival into Edinburgh...
