They're being reported more often - historically only breakdowns on the X9/X10 were reported on Social Media (other operators report hardly any of their breakdowns either!)

Seen a Tooklink B9 broken down near Medomsley this morning, looked like it had expired heading up Manor Rd/Longclose Bank.

Unlikely, as only 1 of the MPD at Hexham has seat belts.

(18 Jun 2018, 5:41 pm)Dan ..and just like that, voila! A brand new fleet list is born.



Thanks - you may want to fine-tune on the detail included on our fleet list.

Not too sure on some of the liveries, nor was I sure on which buses had which features. For now, anyway!

5230 is now light blue
Kind Regards

Could be, but aren't they needed?, unless the 13/14 and X25 are getting covered to fully Omnidekka, once they all arrive?

(05 Jun 2018, 6:54 am)S813 FVK That quoted sectiom immediately suggests to me that they will be going to a depot/s that currently has the 10.6m variant - doesn’t narrow it down much as only a couple of depots have never had the Omnidekka before, but its something that may help with speculation for those who have the time.

Then alot of possible depots they could be going to as alot have omnidekkas

Depots with omnidekkas are:
Percy main
Riverside(for jewish scholars)
Stanley
Chester-le-street
Crook

Only washington and peterlee have never had omnidekkas so quite hard to speculate as of yet

Speculation itself is quite an easy thing to do. Actually getting it right and not causing any confusion when it isn't worded in a way which suggests its only speculation is the hardest bit.

What I said was only a starter for anyone interested. If you more closely, such as 6124/5/31 still carrying Toon Link branding, you can get a rough idea of where some of this intake of 18 are likely to head off to.

As a side note, Washington have had Omnidekkas before, it's just Deptford (excluding 6133's visit for promotional purposes and 6141's loan) and Peterlee that haven't.

Wonder what the chance would be for Deptford to get some of the smaller Omnidekka's, but only if they've won contracts for more School services.

Wouldn't it not be more likely that the ex-london ones would go there then?
Plus has 6015 really been sold because it is in Percy Main depot today with 4974?

There's going to be 18 arriving (3 already here), only a handful of presidents remain, so should see them replaced and hopefully the other omnidekka's replace the current older ones, meanjng they could move in to the special events fleet replacing the Vykings then any of the ex London Gemini's can be added to the special events fleet, if needed.
