I thought it isn't a set allocation anymore? B7s interchange between Chester and Crook. Was quoted by Pdiddy a bit ago.

When are the remaining Volvo B9TLs for the Red Arrows going to be Repainted, as it has been 7 Months since the first one was done and the 11reg batch have since all been branded for at least 3 Months now if not longer.

Nice Coach! Are there many National Express coaches due to be withdrawn from their duties?

Are these coaches likely to kept within GNE for Driving school or scholars or Sold on. 

How many Scholars Services do Hexham operate which require a coach rather than a bus?

Is this for capacity (ie more seats)?

It certainly like it, seems to be the original audio file but at slow speed, the others seem fine except for the ones that have already been reported with what sounds like crackly/white noise over the NSA

8326 the one with engine faults no suprise

And is it any wonder when they have been ran into the ground on a daily basis for the 5 years that they have been the GNE Fleet, more so the Simplicity examples which see service on the 2/2A and Nexus Misc Workings 7 Days a week, on top of what they have been used on in the years prior to now, nothing short of workhorses in my opinion.

Look at other vehicles within the GNE Fleet past and present, such as the Olympians, B10s and the Mini Pointer Darts which been ran into the ground and are still going strong given there respective ages, dont think we will ever see such great build quality like it again as we firmly in the era of lightweight rattly crap, although I cant really say a bad thing about the Streetlites despite what others views maybe on them.
