Reliably informed of the following, but don't hold me to it until fully confirmed: 3869 (W179 SCU) has been withdrawn from Chester-le-Street as it's engine has expired, only Trident left in service is 3872 (W182 SCU). 6034 (V334 LGC) has returned from Percy Main and as a result, 3983 (PJ02 PZL) is expected to transfer to Riverside imminently.
(09 Aug 2016, 3:47 pm)MVK 500R As already stated, the Q3 does have potential, but I think GNE should of advertised it better with maybe leaflet drops, and they could of took a leaf out of Stagecoach's book and offer a free day ticket.

Although already asked what will replace 3866,67 even though there is 4 month i dont know weather the following could happen
4x new buses for 327 this will allow 3866,67 to be withdrawn and 3890,1 to replace plaxton presidents.
2x omnidekkas allowing 3876,7 to be withdrawn
Im not sure if GNE have a plan for them but i think its a shame they dont meet dda.
Could GNE make them DDA complaint alike the B10S?
(09 Aug 2016, 7:14 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Although already asked what will replace 3866,67 even though there is 4 month i dont know weather the following could happenI think it's something fundamental and integral thus uneconomical to repair given the state of the Loynes/life cycle. The Renowns are going strong and IIRC it was just some issue with the seats, but most of the Loynes have already died or are withdrawn/unhealthy.

(10 Aug 2016, 3:19 pm)L469 YVK Will be interesting. Considering the time, momey and manpower required to fit the flywheels, they might as well wait until the need for cascades is due with the GKN earmarked services being replaced with Streetdecks. Given the recent service changes as well as other services due for an upgrade, I think it will happen within the next 12-18 months.
