First bus of 2013! - NEB Admin Team - 31 Dec 2012
Post here your first bus in 2013!
I suspect mine will be the usual Stagecoach Enviro 200 on the second 4 bus of the day; either the ADL Enviro 200 dart, or an Enviro 200 bodied MAN 14.240! Will get a fleet number on Wednesday

I'll try and get a photo of mine on Wednesday morning when I'm going to the train station to meet all of my friends from school to get the train down to London!
No idea what it'll be yet though... Depends when we need to be down there for!

Cool! Have a fab trip
If you're taking the Grand Central service, it's absolutely brilliant! Only made one return trip to London, back in June, amazing service it is!

I think I am..! Wasn't too keen on East Coast when I went with them in the summer holidays this year - carriages out of bounds, plugs sockets didn't work, my seat had been taken...

Stagecoach Sunderland's MAN Enviro 200 39727 (NK09EGV) for me this morning on the 4!
RE: First bus of 2013! - Tom - 02 Jan 2013
Mine was 5154 (T804CBW) on the 17 this morning...

My first vehicle happened to double as my first drive too. Stagecoach Olympian 16840 R640OVN
Couldn't ask for better quality.

Ah right
RE: First bus of 2013! - Adam - 02 Jan 2014
Mine was GNE's 8335 on the 51
RE: First bus of 2013! - Dan - 02 Jan 2014
I wonder if the pilot was lucky enough to get an SPD on the 56 as his first journey...
Andreos1 needn't worry about luck though... Have you been on the 71 yet, A1?
RE: First bus of 2013! - Rapidsnap - 02 Jan 2014
I will tell you on Tuesday night what my first bus of the year will be.
Likely favourites are the following vehicle types.
Transbus MPD
Volvo B10BLE / Wright Renown
Scania Omnicity.
RE: First bus of 2013! - MrFozz - 02 Jan 2014
Haven't used a bus yet, but will either be a Versa, MPD or StreetLite depending on how I get to Seaham tomorrow
RE: First bus of 2013! - Adrian - 02 Jan 2014
President 6013 on the GNE M2, and Versa 8295 (I *think*) on the return M2 journey.

No, not yet.
Last bus of the year was a Citaro operated 4 on Tuesday night (almost a Renown on a 78) and chances are 1st bus of the year, will be a 4 1st thing tomorrow morning.
Haven't been on a 71 since late November and that was a Loylne!
(as was the time prior to that)
