(10 Feb 2016, 9:02 pm)S813 FVK It was established that they couldn't interwork as there would be an issue with the specifications of the vehicles with the Red Kite B9s not having plug sockets and NSAs.
(10 Feb 2016, 9:02 pm)Michael Its already been said that it probables won't happen due to the 47 not having plugs.
I think it was Dan who said it.

- 6085 and 6104 reverted back to their original state (standard Volvo diesels).

Now who mentioned metallic paintjobs....they look nice
The base livery on the vehicle looks nice too!
(11 Feb 2016, 5:42 am)Dan I suppose, if it is planned to happen, Go North East could look at retrofitting power sockets and Next Stop Announcements to the four Volvo B9s, and possibly re-trim the seats in e-leather. That way, passengers on the 45/46 services wouldn't see a downgraded specification as a result of the interworking with service 47.
This is entirely speculation on my part, you understand, rather than anything confirmed, based on the speculation that the operation of service 47 will indeed transfer to Stanley.
I believe that the GKN modifications can be enabled and disabled, so there would be no need for the buses to be "reverted".

(12 Feb 2016, 10:31 am)Dan The first vehicle, 6302 (NK16 BXB), received branding at Saltmeadows Road yesterday. It looks excellent - very striking indeed.
(12 Feb 2016, 10:27 am)Michael It suits the two tone blue.
GNE have also done a video like normal for the rebranding - https://www.facebook.com/simplyGNE/?fref=nf

Have to say that this is the first time I've been upstairs on 9119 (big'un refuses to catch it) and it's every bit as bouncy as an E400!
