(27 Feb 2015, 4:38 pm)MarcTheA4 Fridays and Wednesdays were always the worst days for delays on our scholars services last year.

A lot of traffic used to build up on Newcastle Road in Chester-le-Street, sometimes we could fly down on the other days of the week...whilst on Fridays and Wednesdays we would be stop-start!

Friday tends to be the worst as some people finish work earlier on a Friday.

(27 Feb 2015, 8:04 pm)AIG20 Maybe a hint that the X47 may receive new vehicles this year - unless they are all going to be repainted and rebranded like the South Shields ADL E300s...

It could do with deckers but they could do with sorting the reliability first - probably wants an extra bus in it but they won't do that

Still in Newcastle as of Friday

(28 Feb 2015, 10:26 am)AIG20 It appears that Slatyford MAN E200 39726 (NK09 EGY) has transferred to Walkergate Depot, for use on service 15/15A.

So it looks like Pointer Darts 34609-14 are transferring to Slatyford instead of Sunderland.

I bloody hope so haha!

Some were repainted when they arrived from Hull, and if I remember rightly, the ones that didn't were repainted towards the end of their life with Hull.

As they're not DDA-compliant, it's unlikely that Stagecoach will give them another repaint (unless they're converted to become DDA-compliant) as they need to be withdrawn by 1 January 2017.
