(08 Aug 2022, 2:12 am)AdamCoyne This thread is basically about if you have any questions about the fleet if so post on here and see if another enthusiast can answer the question.

Below are some vehicles which I’m currently not sure what’s happening to them/would like to know if they are being withdrawn soon or already have!

-722 
-6131 - 6142 and 6146 including 6167-6171 (I’m aware these still get used just wondering if anyone knows when these will leave)
-6909 & 6910 (Basically all consett B7s)
-6943 (I feel like this may be withdrawn)
-8298,8299,8301

(08 Aug 2022, 1:03 pm)KingSlayerRBLX I think all the Omnidekka N94UD's will be withdrawn by 2023 from what i've heard. Alongside the Omnicitys

(11 Aug 2022, 9:55 am)Aaron21 Putting it in here. But 5281 has now left Saltmedows on the back of an Alpha truck to be taken for scrap

(11 Aug 2022, 8:30 pm)Tiger5105 Looks like 644 is the new 646 with a bit of time off.

(14 Aug 2022, 11:44 pm)Rapidsnap To be honest 646 isn't spending much time on the road at Percy Main either. Only time I've managed to photo it when it has been parked at the front of the depot. As usual with a Do not Use cover on the steering wheel. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/52266917957

Mind it's keeping 6998 good company since that has been off the road since late May. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/52244055679

(14 Aug 2022, 11:52 pm)peter Those Venture Solo's seem to be struggling quite a bit, first 646 off for god knows how long and since then has only been out 9 days, 643 was out from 18th March to 3rd August and now 644 looks as though it might be in for a long stint off road. 

While on the topic of Solo's does anyone know what happened to 693 and 718? Neither have tracked since March.

I wonder why GNE don't invest in one of these again as it seems like Alpha are just jumping from recovery to recovery.

(26 Aug 2022, 7:52 pm)citaro5284 Wonder why Arriva and Stagecoach do not invest in one either......

(26 Aug 2022, 8:10 pm)stagecoachbusdepot I thought GNE did own one (1001 maybe?) - or is it long gone?

Out of interest is that E400 (6347) particularly less reliable than the rest of the batch?  I've taken oodles of photos of the rest but took forever to get that one - so wondered if it was off the road more, or just one of those things where certain vehicles seem to be bogey buses when it comes to trying to get photos!
