Will the 99A be withdrawn as well as the 99?

It will be renumbered 135/136 depending upon which direction it is travelling.  The service is secured by Nexus.

The 135/136 already run so i take it NEXUS are changing the current routes on them or just allowing them to run during the day, on the same routes as now?

There are only a few journeys on a morning Monday - Saturday only.  It is only what I've been told.

That's good, least those who use the 99A can still get to the city centre early.

Sorry i thought u meant the 99 to not just the 99A.

GNE have confirmed this on their official changes:


Service 99

• Due to low customer use, service 99 will be withdrawn with the last day of operation on 21 May 2016.
  
  
• Many customers will be able to continue to make their journey on alternative services – for example, from Castletown to Sunderland Royal Hospital on service 35.
  
  
• Early morning journeys which operate as service 99A will continue to run, but will be renumbered 135/136.

Had 9101 entered service at Washington depot today?

Had 9101 entered service at Washington depot today?

No - it wasn't supposed to be entering service today. See this post.

It transferred to Washington at about 11am. I'd expect it would about two days to get through familiarisation with Washington's drivers.

Don't think any will be out tomorrow, now.

Few more things that need to be sorted before they can go out on the road, and I think there's still some drivers which haven't received familiarisation.

Does any one no when 9101 will be at concord?

[JP6004]

Just left galleries on 82A heading towards Birtley. Looks better in real life. Still the the Streetlite has a nicer rear end
