(20 Jun 2021, 7:31 pm)Big O Sorry if this has been touched in before..but how busy is the 16/16A for it to warrant DDs?
Yes, duplicate runs for the college and its generally busy throughout the day.

When are the fleet changes taking place? Interesting the Coaster is going back to single deckers. Sometimes the capacity is limited on the deckers. Singles deckers will probably be enough.


RE: Fleet Changes - Micheal Aaron - 27 Jun 2021

Strange we haven't heard or seen anything to show this happing apart from this thread.

There's isn't any coaster deckers in Saltmedows neither Durham Diamond StreetLite (supposed that's what the change is) to show the change

We know about the versas as there's all the proof we need

Still no confirmation on the Streetlites for the East Gateshead Orbit

All we know is the Versa and nothing else. Unless we see timetable changes

Random coaster buses at Saltmedows/DD Streetlites as well

I wonder if there will be a mass repaint of the effected buses once the schools finish. There will be plenty of spare buses to cover for those being repainted then

Ye, Deptford needs 43 buses repainted so every route has the brand "Sunderland Distract Berries" and with the school holidays coming up, its a perfect opportunity.

Some of the B9's for the 58/93 and 94 brand are down Blackburn too... so I wonder if Deptford and Consett will do the same.

Only the 2/2A will be branded Sunderland District Berries, others will be Sunderland District x

I hope they figure out how to switch it off without switching off the ticket machine.


RE: Fleet Changes - OrangeArrow49 - 07 Jul 2021

Are StreetLites going on the 42/42A? If so they won't be little as the Coaster is apparently getting StreetLites eventually.

Sunderland and District Berries look good, even if the name is stupid.

No, they're going on the 1/A/B

Will be there for driver familiarisation. New type for Percy main. Like I said previously I hope they remove the Black cats branding from the remainder of the Streetlites before they enter service. Remember what happened when they got the ex black cats solo's a couple of years ago.


RE: Fleet Changes - Micheal Aaron - 08 Jul 2021

Wonder if there gonna leave the 1A/1B debrand and just have 2019 corp or there getting refurbishment after the Versas are all done
