As most of you will know from a similar thread in the Go North East section of the forum, we are currently trying to put together a history for each of the vehicles in the Arriva North East, Go North East and Stagecoach North East fleets.

If you can contribute towards this for Arriva North East, do post below. I'd prefer it if you had dates in terms of month and year in which these movements have taken place.

It will be a lot easier than it was, when ANE had everyone else's cast off's.

Will see what I can remember/recall.

Jeffs Bus Lane has lots of information on it, up until the end of 2012 I think? Dont know if this is of any use or not but it's all I've got I'm afraid

Thanks ever so much! Will keep us busy when we have a bit of spare time to go through it all.

Well, I started off well...

Alexander ALX200s 1101-05 now have a complete Vehicle History section, with Plaxton Primas 1207/08 also having a fairly comprehensive Vehicle History section too.

I discovered that I ran out of characters in my "Notes" section when editing 1207, and this was replicated with 1208 too. As such, I've managed to get to 2010 and no further for both of these vehicles, and I'm going to wait until Liam bumps up my character limit first. I think I must have requested this in advance for the GNE fleet list, given that I've managed more characters in some of the vehicles I've done on that one.

Only going off the info I have - early Northumbria details are sketchy as it comes from the Northumbria Enthusiasts Club newsletters which were not monthly as per the UEC. No idea of the ID of various ancillary vehicles and the immediate reuse of fleetnumbers for many of them makes changes difficult to track

Had a bit of free time tonight, so decided to do some work on the fleet list vehicle history section.

All vehicles new in 2011 completed (65)
All vehicles new in 2012 completed (7)
All vehicles new in 2013 completed (40)
All vehicles new in 2014 completed (63)
Total completed - 175 / 587

Working backwards, as that strategy worked well with the Go North East fleet list. I aim to complete 2006 - 2010 tomorrow (193 vehicles), but don't hold me to that as it ultimately depends on what sort of mood I'm in tomorrow... There aren't many to complete for 2001 - 2005, so it shouldn't be long before I complete these...

A further 48 vehicles have now been completed, following the completion of all vehicles new in 2010.

Total completed - 223 / 587... Not far from the half-way mark (which isn't too bad given that I started just 12 hours ago!)

Total completed - 292 / 587.

A plea for help to save me a job:
If anyone has dates of repaints (aside from recent MAX / Sapphire repaints), could you please list them here or upload a document as an attachment if you record this information yourself? Until I looked, I had no idea that the current Quorum Express Geminis were delivered in standard interurban livery.

As Liam forgot to up the character limit for the "Vehicle History" section of the fleet lists for Arriva, I've discovered that each and every fleet item that I completed previously cut off after 1,000 characters. Yes, I'm going to throttle him next time I see him!

I'm now going back to the start, and I'll have to complete everything again.

Thankfully, it was just the ones with the longer captions that needed to be amended, and this was most of the newer vehicles as there was a bit of a write-up about the Micro-Hybrid Streetlite, Sapphire, MAX, etc.

Still have to fix:
  • 1320 - 1328
  • 1440 - 1443
  • 7511 - 7517
..but that shouldn't take too long. Also need to amend 2862 - 2871 as I've got them down as being delivered in "Nexus" livery - don't ask!

Most of the vehicles new in 2013 / 2014 also have photographs on the main fleet item page now. I'll work on completing vehicles new in 2008 today. I'm already up to 2816.
