(10 Feb 2019, 11:11 pm)Gonorth91 Im glad the crap-5 and the 50 is getting wifi I wish they will fix the annoying rattle above and do you think the crap-5 and 50  will ever get refurbished at all

(11 Feb 2019, 12:33 am)BusLoverMum Well, this whole thread has been rumours and speculation about them getting the Citaros off the 4, in due course. 

The lack of announcements is their only problem. The 50 passes my house like clockwork.

(11 Feb 2019, 1:04 pm)Malarkey Their is only 11 branded mercs for the 4 with two corporate spares, the 5/50 when branded was 12 branded omnicities with two corporate spares therefore this wouldn't work.

I would however like to see the 50 receive brand new buses, the 5 on the other hand I think would cope with a Solo SR which would mean the interworking would have to be removed.

(11 Feb 2019, 2:17 pm)ifm001 5 is too busy for a solo SR.

(11 Feb 2019, 2:34 pm)Malarkey Was only a few on and off when I used it on Saturday between North Shields and South Shields.

(10 Feb 2019, 3:19 pm)Michael When will the ADL Enviro200MMC arrive on demo for the 4?

And when will 9083 and 9084 go back to Optare?

(09 Feb 2019, 8:48 pm)Malarkey One of the Metrobus Scania Omnicities is at Percy Main with a few panels already missing, anyone know which one of the three it is as I wasn't able to obtain an id on it.

Would imagine the other two will be at Washington and Stanley.

(11 Feb 2019, 4:49 pm)Stanleyone OAW is the example at Stanley.

(11 Feb 2019, 2:52 pm)Swiny1 There is a bus in the garage at Washington now 9079. 68 plate. Looks pretty small

(11 Feb 2019, 5:47 pm)Dan Delivered earlier today, and will be allocated to service 4 for two weeks. Brand new, straight out of the factory (only PDI'd on Thursday gone). Registration mark YX68OXA.

Bog standard run-of-the-mill no-thrills E200MMC. It's 9.625m in length, so slightly bigger than a Solo. Not ideal in terms of capacity but all ADL had available.

(11 Feb 2019, 8:52 pm)Dan Photo of it at Heworth whilst being moved from Saltmeadows to Washington:
