Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion

(24 Aug 2015, 4:17 pm)Cock Robin Kuyoyo's gone very quiet about those five new buses that came up on Friday night. Hope all five hire cars didn't get lost on the way.

His laptop is broke...

And I have both

The reason I've not added anything about the E300s is because......I've not heard anything to say they have arrived. Plainly I need to have a gander round the depot at some point but then the likelihood is they are inside anyway. After all, they can't go straight on the road Wink

Well they could do GNE's trick and swap Reg Plates.

The 65 plates are already booked and allocated to the buses
Plus, it's normally the other way round that registrations are changed (ie if a bus is delivered or booked on a 15 plate but delayed or not taxed prior to 1st September then they can be re-registered with 65 plates).

Could you remind me the last time that Go North East did this to allow a bus which wasn't taxed to go out in service?

More an honest mistake than a trick perhaps? When you've several identical orange buses in a depot, you can see how it might happen.

They didn't they just put the wrong reg plates on different Diamonds.

So if they didn't put the incorrect registration plate on a vehicle to allow it to go out in service prior to being taxed - your previous post suggesting that Go North East have done this before as a "trick" makes no sense...

Two orange Mercedes Citaros off the road for the same issue, meaning that the same panel had to be removed from each bus and the panels mixed up in a depot with minimal lighting by an accident? Who'd have thought an innocent mistake could happen... It's not as if the registrations were swapped back as soon as the issue was acknowledged..?
