4904 looks to have had a short shift.
Parked up at a funny angle and with all of its passengers getting off, onto the purple Solar behind it

Well it's obvious.

GKN mods seem to be going ahead as planned
and the QC's axed. Will either mean:

- New deckers for the Red Arrows with cascades going on the Pronto and rest making up spare and PVR shortfalls (TEN, TTX, Cobalt Clipper, Angel).

- New deckers for the Pronto.

Certainly don't think that GNE will get any ex B&H deckers for the Pronto though. But I don't think we'll get any heads up either way because GNE will almost certainly want it kept tight lipped owing to Arriva's X12, which isn't much of a threat but still.

With 5293-5297 all Blue now, when will they get branded?


Also i think either 5337/5338 should move to Riverside.. as they'll have 3 services with Citaro's and only 1 spare....

I'm sure the Durham Diamond don't need 2 spares....

As you can imagine, when it goes tits up, you grab anything you can get and go.  

Lets be honest here, at seven o'clock at night, they are lucky they got buses!

As usual; Go North East provided four buses for the Saltwell Park Fireworks Display shuttle service, F1, this evening. As Metro Radio supported the event this year, Go North East provided one vehicle from Stanley (MetroRadio branded 6133). The other vehicles were "Yellow Bus" branded 3819 and 3824, and "TEN" branded 6083.

Volvo B7TL 3964 replaced 3824, to provide another low-floor bus, but wouldn't start up again after the engine was switched off (#3964strikesagain) "Red Kite" branded Volvo B9TL 6119 then replaced 3964 for the rest of the night, which sat spare for the rest of the night once it got started up again.

You can grab a bus from the interchange park and be there in 8 minutes, or go to the depot and back, at least 30 minutes? 

Im pretty sure go north east staff wouldnt be happy at being called a numbskull for doing what they could as quick as they could, even if it's to help someone else's customers?
