(17 Nov 2015, 4:03 pm)DanPicken And then there's you idea that the 27 will get double deckers.
that was years ago
(17 Nov 2015, 4:06 pm)Michael I don't they are - i think out of the duel door B10,  its the ones on the FAB 57 that are going DDA.... of course this may change but i don't think it will because the ones on the FAB 57 will replace some of the 1999 ones.
the t reg ones are not DDA need confirmation though the W reg ones are going DDA question is wonder if it will be different compared to a native GNE bus instead of a 2nd hand one
(17 Nov 2015, 5:50 pm)Michael I can't say if the StreetDeck is good or not as i haven't been on it yet... lol
only once was smooth but need to ride on it again to see the qualities but i hardly have time now as work and other things crop up at the last minute and the now build up to Xmas

Lucky me had 3814 on the PM journey tonight and I have to say, it was fantastic. It is so good it managed to overtake 3873! Seriously, whatever they have done with it has made a massive difference.

3873 is a great bus internally, but in my experience, struggles up any sort of gradient. Can tell the driver has their foot on the floor, once had a queue of about fifteen cars behind it on the X43.

Not sure on the retrimmed seats along without the blue floor and poles but yeah, all of the Lolynes are starting to struggle now. 3876 and 3880 are probably the best out of the lot with 3874 being the worst by a mile.

I think I've made at least one journey on 3876; it was on loan to Chester-le-Street one evening a few years ago, when I used to use the scholars services. Made a pleasant surprise. I can remember 3874 was fine when it was based at Chester-le-Street, but then it seems to have shift between Percy Main and Stanley a lot since then and just become terrible. I personally love the nostalgic feeling of the unrefurbished Tridents though, so would ride 3874 for that alone.

Its a Red Arrows B9.

We don't know what colour it will come out as, its 5 years for 6001-6007 next year, this is when GNE normally re-fresh the colour on the bus... its not known if 6049-6055 will be repainted as they're only 3 years old.

We also don't know this years orders or plans for cascades, well Citaro does but he can't say, we'll have to wait and see what colour it comes out as...

That is not necessary in my opinion, the 9 is cursed.
When they go I think the 17 will become a brand

5151 and 5158 are awaiting withdrawal, so these will not be done. Although they are marked as withdrawn on Go North East's latest Fleet Allocation, they remain in use at Percy Main at present. Any others which cannot be replaced by other vehicles in the fleet will have to receive DDA modifications, as demonstrated by 5152 and 5166.

4906 received DDA modifications back in September 2015.
