(30 Apr 2014, 6:06 pm)Dan The B10BLEs which appear on the 71 (PVR 2) are only allocated when they aren't required on the Lime owing to vehicles being VOR. Although B10BLEs should be allocated to service 71, the first point of call is to ensure that the "Lime" receives these over other vehicle types. Again, as I've already mentioned, imagine a Cadet on the Lime? There's also the issue of the swap needing five vehicles: Chester-le-Street only have four.

I'm positive Go North East would have considered all options and as they've not chosen to go with the ones we've suggested, there must be a reason why that option was considered to be worse than services 67/69.

Actually it is 3 with the 3rd one being spare when am photoing the 71s it has at least 3 vehicles

It's an hour to Houghton and back from Chester and with a half hour frequency it comes to a PVR of 2.

There's been an incident at Gateshead. GNE services that operate from H, J, K & L are operating from X66 drop off stand

Edit -

Incident is a man under a Metro train. Stands are closed due to emergency vehicles

You are now the 3rd person to tell him that the 71 has a PVR of 2 although I do wonder what he meant by saying 'Actually it is 3 with the 3rd one being spare' as the spare doesn't actually count as a services PVR.

Not yet. It seems 8228 clung on for as long as possible but I think it was withdrawn before 5210 was branded due to issues the vehicle developed. Could be wrong though...

I don't know if anybody has noticed or mentioned it, but I think the 50's rear blind has been fixed. As some of you knew, the destination sometimes didn't fit on and it looked crammed in and untidy on the rear blind when heading to Shields. Now, instead of having the moving destinations on the second row, 5260 has been fitted with a rear blind that says 50, then South on one line and Shields on the bottom line. I don't know about Durham, but I would assume the same has been done. I think a couple of other OmniCities have had the same treatment as 5260, but I'm not sure.

Dan sent me a pic of one last weekend, so I spoke to CLS and asked them to change it. All the Omni's should be sorted soon Smile

There's no allocated spare for the 71. Its whatever is in the depot at the time as was seen when the 50 branded omni appeared.

Bob on, there are only 2 buses on the 71 and there's no dedicated spare for the route - it gets what it's given, until the wifi equipped, 2+1 leather seated, hot tub fitted dream buses come...........
