I actually think it looks quite nice, even if its on the cluttered side.


I think the Solo's look good in this livery, I like it.

Yes, I agree.

One thing I have noticed though is that it lacks the WiFi feature-blobs. I would assume that these will be added at a later date.

Shields Gazette has some more photos of the incident. Looks like a Toyota has hit the side of the Solo causing it to crash into the lamppost. Not really sure what happened but people in the comments said it was an old man who pulled out in front of it (not sure if eyewitnesses or just guessing).

Wouldn't be surprised if they go in 2018 then, is it just the Citaro's getting done or will something like the Omnicities go next, like near end of the year?

55/75 Citaro's getting done, that might take a while...

I'd be very surprised if the Omnicities went - I think a deep clean at Thornton's like the Coasters got is the closest they are going to get compared to the Citaros.

It's likely to go down next, after the Durham Diamonds are done - we don't when that will be as we don't know when the first lot are due back.

5290/91 still need to go and 5292 when it re-enters service, 5290/91 will hopefully go down with the first lot of ex Blaydon Racers go down at once.


Be good to see all 75 Citaro's done though.

Hopefully they do, we will have to see, what happens after all of the Citaro's are done.

You were very close to me because I was driving through the area at the time and saw as you described. I was thinking how fresh it looked, the amount of salt currently on the road turns anything grey!

Spare vehicles are used for metro replacement from almost any depot. Omnidekkas are always preferable as they can hold 6 push chairs. 6133 is a usual suspect along with 6016, 3966/7 and 3963. Given this was true of the FLE->Monkseaton and a few other replacements, I'd say it's not as depot specific as you'd think.
