(16 Feb 2016, 5:14 am)Dan It's gone to SMR for a red repaint (like 4966). Haven't had chance to update news.Cheers, Dan.
(16 Feb 2016, 8:23 am)Adrian I have to admit I can't see the logic behind that one. The new and improved Red Arrows brand has been launched in print, so I'd have thought they'd want the buses branded up asap...There was a Red Arrows branded B9 in Saltmedows yesterday. No idea why it was there however.

(16 Feb 2016, 9:50 am)dannygee How come arriva are doing more metro replacements this year. GNE should do the major one from tynemouth to shiremoor?They can't just decide that they want to do it. Replacement services are tendered for by Nexus.
Even the benton to north shields thats coming up.
(16 Feb 2016, 9:55 am)Swiny1 Not sure if this has already been discussed but any idea why such a jump in Fleet numbers for the new Castles Express noted as 6302.

(16 Feb 2016, 11:11 am)Michael It looks to be because the Streetdecks are a new bus in the fleet so they have been allocated 63** fleet number series.

(16 Feb 2016, 11:17 am)S813 FVK Yes but all other new vehicle types into the fleet haven't been given a new fleet number sequence. I know i'm not somebody to say everybody who is saying what you are saying is wrong but that is just my opinion of the topic.

(16 Feb 2016, 11:22 am)Michael I'm not sure either, i can't remember it ever being confirmed why it jumped to 63**... i just used your post as it seemed more logic.

Is there a reason why the 8 I'm on has missed out the area round Beamish Museum?
(16 Feb 2016, 2:39 pm)wise owl Road closure due to roadworks i believe. Did it still seeve the museum?No, went straight along the A693, missing the museum plus the stops on Station Cottages and Station Road. It's running around 10 minutes late.

(16 Feb 2016, 3:39 pm)Venturego Will have to be sometime after 1st March, (for start of service) as buses are registered NK16 xxx, and are therefore not able to run without tradeplates until 1st day of registration being 1st March for "16" reg plates
