(01 Jul 2016, 6:24 pm)park5354 Revised pvr for 97 will be 6.
Revised pvr for 97A will be 4.
No longer interwork.
Wonder what will be used on extra working ?
Knowing Riverside, it will be an incorrect allocation anyway !!
Probably just use a red solar, but I would allocate Poppy bus 4949 to it.

(02 Jul 2016, 8:52 am)Michael Hopefully GNE decide to paint a Scania so it has a full branded allocation, not sure if Deptford is planned to lose anymore now.
The "Green Arrows" could get new buses this year so GNE might not even bother re-painting and a branding the extra Scania.

(02 Jul 2016, 9:34 am)Dan Deptford has released all 23 vehicles following the entry into service of new vehicles. The only outstanding cascades/withdrawals are as follows:
I would imagine that one of Riverside's red Scania L94s will be repainted green, given that they're going to inherit an extra red Scania L94 from Chester-le-Street.
- 4903 (currently in service at Stanley to cover for 3874 which has been withdrawn)
- 4907 (currently in a float/reserve capacity at Riverside while vehicles in Riverside's fleet undergo modifications as part of a group project)
- 4925 (currently in service at Stanley to cover for 3880 which has been withdrawn)
- two red Scania L94s from Chester-le-Street to Riverside, allowing two Volvo B10BLEs to be withdrawn.

(02 Jul 2016, 9:42 am)Michael Surprised the last Cadet isn't getting withdrawn.
Unless that'll be withdrawn once the changes in North Tyneside happens?

(02 Jul 2016, 9:45 am)Dan The six DAF/VDL SB120s at Washington are all required to operate services 82/82A. They're currently running one SB120 short (the PVR is 7), but running 4909 in its place.

(02 Jul 2016, 9:56 am)Michael Ah right, sad to see more B10's will be withdrawn by the end of this month due to the changes though.....as they'll have all the B10's from:
4 buses from the 11
3 buses from the 96
7 buses from the 17/17A

(02 Jul 2016, 10:03 am)Dan Not quite!
The arrival of 8 Scania L94s at Percy Main has allowed for the withdrawal of 8 Volvo B10BLEs (4913, 4914, 5152, 5153, 5154, 5155, 5157 and 5166).
Whilst some Volvo B10BLEs will be withdrawn as a result of next month's service changes, it won't be as many as you think. You have to remember that the PVRs of the TEN, Quaylink and Green Arrow are all increasing as a result of these changes - it's not all cuts to allow for the withdrawal of more vehicles from the fleet.

(02 Jul 2016, 10:06 am)Michael For the Quaylink, are they gaining the Versa's from the 58?
Where will the extra bus for the TEN come from?

I've had a look at the new Cobalt Clipper timetable and unless some of the turnaround times are going to be razor tight (which I highly doubt), then I believe that the following journeys may be a 'conventional' or 'off route' working:
- 06:32 Service 310 from North Shields to Newcastle arriving for 07:14
- 07:25 Service X39 from Newcastle to Cobalt Village Hotel arriving for 07:47
309 / 310 arrivals after 08:20:
- 309(1)(08:24); 310(2)(08:32); 309(3)(08:40); 310(4)(08:48); 309(5)(08:56); 310(6)(09:06); 309(7)(09:11)
309 / 310 departures after 08:25
- 309(1)(08:34); 310(2)(08:41); 309(3)(08:51); 310(4)(09:00); 309(5)(09:09); 310(7)(09:19)
So by looking at the above, it looks like the 309 / 310 won't start interworking until after 09:15 because currently, a short 309 journey runs between Whitley Bay departing at 07:33 arriving into Newcastle for 08:26 with a full journey running just behind arriving at 08:34 subsequently working the 08:41 310 departure. All of the 309 journeys that arrive into Newcastle from 07:35 onwards will be full journeys from Blyth unlike currently. GNE 'could' just about also getaway with using a single deck vehicle on the above journeys too unless they use a Plaxton President or other type of double deck vehicle.
