We're diverting some buses between Metrocentre & Newcastle via Centrelink, to avoid delays on the Redheugh Bridge.

(10 Dec 2016, 5:14 pm)S813 FVK Thanks - it just seemed to disappear after that day and i was just curious to find out why really.
In other Omnidekka news, 6145 has entered service at Percy Main although it is yet to be reregistered: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/3118...ateposted/

(10 Dec 2016, 6:10 pm)Dan Yes, off the road since 25/11/16. 6132 hasn't yet transferred to Percy Main as a result.The 4-5 drivers who drove 43 enjoyed it as it's swift and doesn't rattle - extremely odd for a Stanley decker! The only other deckers that stay rigid are those plaxton tridents, although the gearboxes are questionable. Most drivers don't like the current 04 set of three because of the cab, misc. engine issues and rattling. Overall, this is a welcomed change because it's removing a bus from the depot that most don't like, and bringing two which are viewed as exceptional 😛

(11 Dec 2016, 12:09 pm)Andreos1 No idea if it is the same vehicle having issues or if it is across the whole fleet, but it seems to be happening quite frequently.

(11 Dec 2016, 12:28 pm)S813 FVK For me, 3888 is the worst President of the lot (not including 3890/1 or the B7s). Its the only one that I have had any problems with in terms of breaking down. Hopefully its trip to Percy Main has done it good though.6013/4 + 3886 are Stanley's problem buses - which is why they are always used as taxis. Even 3887 has had a bad spell, but that's the nature of them. 6014 has had so many spare parts used to try and fix it, the fan is a lot better - but it's still a poor motor. 3886, similarly, but so long as any repairs last, it'll undoubtedly be welcomed back. It had a powerful engine whilst on X30/1, so no reason why it shouldn't still have potential. 3886 has always been the real problem trident.
