(01 Jul 2014, 3:00 pm)GuyParkRoyal The new Versa's appear to be allocated to the 757 Leeds City to Leeds Bradford Airport so I guess the allocation of ex 9133 to the 747 must be an evaluation for that route. I had a look at one of the new Versa's on Sunday afternoon and they are very tidy with WiFi, USB, power sockets, wood effect floor,leather style seats, luggage racks and space for skis. They look quite smart with their new flying tiger livery.

Does anyone know if there have been any issues with the 50 today?
Saw one heading west along Abbey Road in Durham this afternoon NIS.
Driver (not a fitter) at the wheel, with the grin the size of a Cheshire cat - presumably missing out the Arnison Centre if travelling North or Newton Hall and the hospital if travelling South.

There was an inspector/supervisor on the 885 this evening, which was as usual, 6041
9131 appeared back on X21s BTW, I think someone mentioned it wasn't on yesterday or something.

(02 Jul 2014, 3:52 pm)Dan Yup, think it was only the one round trip it missed (irritatingly the one which was scheduled to depart Newcastle at 1105 was operated by the replacement - also the one I'd chosen to photograph 9131 on).Bugger.
Today is meant to be its last day at Crook.

(02 Jul 2014, 3:54 pm)Dan Rumour has it that it's going back to Lothian Buses, although I heard before it arrived at Go North East that they'd been told it had left for good...
So in short, I don't think anyone knows that one for certain!
An idea would be for it to go East though...

(03 Jul 2014, 11:04 am)marxistafozzski Sunderland is terrible mate, on the 9 earlier and it took over 15 Minutes from Fawcett St to get over the Bridge, the traffic lights at the top of John St. and St Marys Way is the problem

(03 Jul 2014, 11:06 am)Michael Ye was just about to edit my post that the temp traffic lights at St Mary's roundabout is to blame.
What are they doing around there, are they taking the roundabout up? (as i'm sure i read thatt in the plans ages ago)

(03 Jul 2014, 11:08 am)marxistafozzski Did not have a good look but it looks like the roundabout is gone and it is temporary lights on there, which are a pain in the arse...
Should not be long before St. Marys is finished...4 or 5 months, cannot come soon enough ?
