We'll have to wait and see, but I think we'll see fewer corporate livery repaints now and more branded vehicles getting repainted.

(07 Oct 2014, 1:27 pm)Dan In line with "Blaydon Racers" branded Mercedes Citaro 5331 being repainted earlier this year, and the shade of red being significantly darker than the much faded former "Red Arrows" branded allocation, the rest of the "Blaydon Racers" branded vehicles are now undergoing repaint.
The first example to have arrived at Saltmeadows for its 'freshen up repaint' is 5275. One example is expected to be repainted each week.
In other news, Dennis Trident 3890 is now at Thorntons for its deep clean.

4845 also sounds terrible

(07 Oct 2014, 5:00 pm)Dan Just a case of finding the time to slot them in, no doubt!
Of course if they had been considering investment for this year, they may have also wanted to put off repainting them. The fact that these vehicles are being repainted (for Blaydon Racers again) suggests that they have no investment plans for these services.
Just been told about another repaint, coming in the form of Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4903. This vehicle will be going into corporate livery, as per the other recent Volvo B10BLE repaints. Probably the last one (excluding the remaining Trident) for a while now...

Just waiting for the time a driver asks the passengers to get out and push!
(07 Oct 2014, 5:24 pm)Michael 1 of the ones we can take off the list for new buses
East Durham MPD's could get re-painted this year, some reason i expect them to get new buses.. last time they were done was 2011 but like most buses being done they were also done in 2011 and like wise it will increase the value when sold.
Do u know the Vykings.. how many more years do u think they have before they are withdrawn?

(07 Oct 2014, 8:34 pm)Robert Good to see that 3874 is back in service. Should be transferred to Stanley later on in the week as it appeared on DFDS service 327 today. #getridof3814

(06 Oct 2014, 10:06 am)Andreos1 Yeah, it takes about 15mins just to get logged on at times.
I would love to know how far from 1st you need to be, before the restriction starts.
Is it as soon as you step from 1st to standard or is there a bit of tolerance?
Keep meaning to try it.

I am on the train now, but in coach B. Completely forgot about the 1st class/standard class WiFi and tolerance. May try in a short while when I wake up.
Nearly missed the train, thanks to early and late GNE services this morning. Left in plenty of time too. May send an email later on.
