I'm just having a cultural visit to The Docks at the moment!

No rush Dan, Smile

Haven't been to the docks in ages.

Are renowns allocated to x36?

Well just been on Prince Bishops streetlite. Not far but good first impression.

However when driving on Saturday I flashed out a drifter 60 streetlite and wish I didn't... Was so slow accelerating away lol. Only kidding always let then out since they tend to pull out regardless!

8311 has gained a rear advert identical to 8312

4974 is branded as "Fast Cats", while 5203 carries Go North East's corporate livery... For now, anyway!

Michael · 23 May 2016, 4:44 pm,

Thanks for the update Dan.

If there are changes will probably stay like that until then.

Two GNE red Scania L94s.

Service X35 is the only route under the "Fast Cats" brand now, using 5204 - 5209 and 5211.
