Few questions about some of the fleet:
Is 619 only kept local now? As it is always allocated to service 683/684.
Is 6010 still in service at Percy Main?
Is 6017 still in service at Chester Le Street?
Are the remaining Y reg solars leaving the fleet?

Yes to the first three questions, 619 will be going shortly, and no to the last one as 4932/4933 will be staying until July 2019 to comply with the rules relating to the grant funding for the exhaust after treatment.

My guess is 619, is probably most likely to go first.

Shame the Citylink Versas don't run down onto the Quayside. Would have been a good opportunity to give them the tidy-up that they desperately need.

(27 Jun 2018, 3:38 pm)thetravelman My guess is 619, is probably most likely to go first.

On paper it would be 618 - this is the example with seatbelts, so makes sense that 723 would directly replace this MPD.

However, 619 has some mechanical defects which aren't really economical to repair, so Hexham are more likely to want shot of this one first.

Hence why it's days are now spent on the Town service and a short 686 to Corbridge.

When is 723 expected to enter service?

(28 Jun 2018, 5:22 pm)S830OFT When is 723 expected to enter service?

Very soon.

It has now been repainted, had Hanover destinations installed and programmed, and all interior vinyls fitted. Just waiting on the Tynedale Links branding to be fitted, then it'll be away over to Hexham for inspection and final preparation for service.

It hasn't been allocated a fleet number yet - it may not be used by Go North East, it's just on loan at the moment pending delivery of the Solos expected to come.

Tracking on the app comes from the ticket machine - so as soon as it's fitted with a ticket machine, and is picked up in service on a valid route, it will be seen on the app.

Unless it operates the AM 90s, peak 94s and the PM 836, which consistently fail to app-track despite all other services doing so.

Then there are times like this when nothing is tracking at all. Usually sorts itself out later on in the day, but hope an update can be fixed up to stop it from happening in the first place. It is a point that I raised at the end of the recent Passenger Panel survey regarding communication etc.
