The three red Solo SRs will enter service next week without branding - I believe this will instead follow at a later date.

689 has gained Go North East logos prior to entry into service:

I'll watch out for them on the way to work.

Only service with 3 PVR at Deptford is the 238.

Could count the 9 but i don't think GNE will want a mixture of buses on the service.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

The short 9s interwork with Scholars services on Schooldays so allocating Solos to them is should best be avoided Tongue

Saw a red solo crossing the bridge at MetroCentre this morning heading into the bus station, didn't see any fleet numbers or reg number as I was boarding a red kite to Consett

Following on from rare/odd workings discussion:

Are the displays that only show a number (604/605/3887/3888) the same concept as, say, the B9 deckers which only show the RN in the middle? I always thought the B9s used smaller square displays but I saw an arriva streetlite with a full length display only showing where the gap in the black glass was, messing up because "not in service" was larger.
My mind suddenly clicked that the centre number on a full sized may also be used on the B9 deckers.
