(24 Jul 2021, 11:41 pm)GNE6312 Wonder what will replace them, prehaps they could keep the Ex Lothian B9s, they can replace the 6 of themI wouldn't have thought any need to replace them - at the end of June Go North East said they were running over 60 extra buses (school dupe, covering Arriva etc.) which they won't be doing in September. So at least 60 surplus buses, plus any that become surplus with the service changes.
RE: Fleet Changes - GNE6312 - 02 Aug 2021
Does anyone know when the X66 eclipses are due to enter service? Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing it's more to get the deckers off the 41/42/42A. There seems to be a few Solos off the road lately and they lost a few Omnicities last week to Riverside which means the Solos have to go onto the 19

The 311 is not becoming single deck atm as since the 25th July changes the 311 has started re-interworking with the 309 and 310 using Cobalt deckers. The 311 single deck allocation was (or was supposed to be) back in the height of lockdown when passenger numbers were significantly reduced and when the 309/310/311 were all standalone. Whether it could be (re)introduced with the September changes remains to be seen
RE: Fleet Changes - Train8261 - 02 Aug 2021
Wasn't the 19 meant to be LB anyway because of lockdown.
Now we are out of it. Wonder if these changes in September mean a move of solos to Percy Main for the loss of the Scania CN230UB OmniCity on the 19

Don't know if that's still the case?
Wouldn't be surprised if some Solo's transfer to Percy Main freed up from other depots in the upcoming round of service changes as seems like some of the stuff like Venture networks could be getting reduced minibus requirements.

Not too sure on the ferry shuttles if I had to be honest just know a few got transferred last week can't remember the fleet off the top of my head but the 07 plate was one of them.
Yeah wouldn't be surprised myself the one which is operating the H2 should become free aswell. Guess it depends what's happening in Peterlee though as I've heard the bottom half of the 55 is being split off so if that's using Solos then they might go there instead. Heard a rumour of the 34 serving Pelton aswell because of the 78 changes guess we'll find out later this week.

Percy Main are in need of solos unless they plan on keeping the 19 Long Buses

I wasn't a fan of them to start with, but I'm 100% down with the cringe now!
Having thought about it, I think it's an absolutely fantastic idea from a marketing perspective.
Imagine pulling up behind that in your car, reading it and thinking how bad it is.
I don't know about anyone else, but if I see something like that, I'm thinking about it all day. And what do you associate with that, catching the bus!
