Interesting, this means 637 and 638 are dedicated to the 353 then

Who brings the New and second hand buses here to the North East.

For example the buses now coming up from Brighton & Hove, who brings them, do GNE send down drivers or do B&H drivers bring them up?

Are the Omnidekkas that are coming from B&H likely to receive a re-furb? Just looking at Dans photos of the interior of one of them, the seating looks quite worn in places.

I do like the drivers cab though!

What sort of life span will GNE be expecting to get from these Omnidekkas, considering that they are already around 12 to 13 years old.

I'd be very surprised if they weren't at least retrimmmed. Part of the previous batch wasn't, but after less than a year in service here, I'd argue that they need to be done.

I'd expect the same as the B7 Presidents... so 4 years max from the 03 regs.

They meet half way.

Brighton & Hove's staff will take them so far, then Go North East's staff will meet them and take them back up to the North East (having travelled down in one of the company vans/minibuses).

The handover point is usually at Watford Gap Services.

4 Weeks I think it was mentioned

Has 3832 been involved in some sort of incident? The front grille (reg moved for towing purposes) looks a bit damaged.

Doubt that will be repaired when its expected to be withdrawn imminently.

3785 · 14 Jun 2016, 4:20 pm,

Will that be the end of 3832, will it be economical to repair for 6 weeks work or indeed any future sale price?

The accident damage is only minor, really.

I reckon there's still life in 3832 yet!

Aye. It was quite an impressive old chap when we caught it, a couple of weeks ago.
