(23 Mar 2016, 5:31 pm)Dan All five entered service this morning.

This has allowed loanee Optare Solo SR 9104 to transfer to Riverside. I understand it will see allocation to the Byker ASDA contract from tomorrow, in place of MPD 563.

Does the byker asda bus have a timetable?
If so where could i find it

GNE will probably allocate the Solos to longer distance boards ( 74,X81/185/etc ) and the MPDs to the closer services like the 683 etc.

They sometimes do use a Solo SR on a Sunday. I'm sure they have a couple spare already, as the 516 and 68 don't run for a start.

No. This is only a short term extended loan. 563 will be withdrawn and replaced by another MPD next week, pending the entry into service of indiGo Optare Solos.

Does anyone at GNE keep the branded services pages upto date?
Tabs haven't been updated with new brand
Some of the pictures showing the branded buses are blurred with some showing the buses prior to upgrade (B10 for South Tyne, L94 for the 50)
Also some of the pages lack or incorrect red kite euro marking. Is that still even actively advertised now? I notice GNE didn't advertise the Streetdecks being the 1st euro 6 bus in the fleet.
