It is currently at Saltmeadows Road Depot having a manual ramp fitted and should also gain the seats from another recently withdrawn MPD which has already been re-trimmed, prior to PSV test next week.
Past Saltmeadows today, 6142 seems to be getting seats re-trimmed.
Quick question about the X9. When heading south, it continues on the A19 to Wynyard services, struggles through the traffic (particularly a peak times) and works its way on to the old A19/Wolviston Road.
Wouldn't it be easier to take the first exit for Billingham off the A19? It would certainly save a few minutes and miles!
Ditto (north and south) when it uses a section of Wolviston Road and Station Road. Why not Station Road for its entirety?
It's something I have wondered for a while now and whilst there is obviously a reason for it, wondered if anyone knows why.
(14 Oct 2016, 1:14 pm)idiot Just seen a solo branded connect with #connectwithgooch as a destination and on back display 9999?
As 628? (newly branded solo) on 700.

Question, do these Omnidekkas for DFDS spell the end for a dedicated DFDS livery?
(16 Oct 2016, 2:46 pm)peter Not sure if this has been mentioned recently but I can't seem to remember, has 4919 been withdrawn from Riverside?? Only it's still down on the site fleet list, but is withdrawn according to the GNE allocation. Thanks in advance!

(16 Oct 2016, 3:07 pm)Dan It was reinstated after a few days of being withdrawn:
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/NEB/news/?id=2325
I believe 4897 will be selected for withdrawal instead.
4922, which was also noted as having been withdrawn, was reinstated yesterday (allocated to services 67/69).

One tidbit was that they are in advanced negotiations with Go Ahead to bring the bus services onto site once the centre opens in October/November. Discussions have been positive so far.
(for anyone wondering there's obviously going to be a brand new entrance and route built as at present you couldn't get a bus onsite)
