(29 Sep 2013, 4:01 pm)Daniel Does anyone know what has happened to the rear of 22453?

I'm sure the rear of ALX300s don't usually have that little vent/grille thing (forgive me, I haven't got a clue what the name is), so can't just put it down to it being a replacement part.

A large number of Slatyfords 03/53s have extra grills now too. Although in the style of the ones on the back of the Tridents.

Man in his 40s hit by a decker, injuries not life threatening, road was closed for an hour.

Latest orders I've seen that's right. No confirmed regs though (except VUT and VUU of course), so that will be a nice surprise for now! In true ADL fashion a week ahead of schedule too.

The fact that they look like they have been built by ADL and not Plaxton is probably a contributing factor.

He may, he does take some photos of other operators but keeps them separate to his main account.

No, but there are some ridiculous adverts claiming that NEXUS plans will lead to council tax increase and another one suggesting it will harm investment, which is utterly hilarious since there has been zero investment in Newcastle since 2011.
