Will you lot stop whinging about the tag lines. You are going on as if it's slapping you in the face.

(03 Mar 2017, 9:24 am)Michael Since the first of the Citaro's have arrived back from Blackburn, where will the Scania's from the X5 end up?
Can they not go to Percy Main for the 19 and spares and Deptford have the Wright Eclipse's for the 61?
That means 4 more Versa's go in the new "Go North East" livery, leave one spare at Deptford and then the other 4 can go to Riverside to replace more Scania's.

Does anyone know if 5284/5285/5289 will be out and about tomorrow? Thought 84 was due out on Monday, what's been the hold up?

(03 Mar 2017, 5:43 pm)Dan 5284, 5285 and 5286 - probably not.
5289 - no, it was only returned this afternoon and has to be branded and other preparation for service to be done.

(03 Mar 2017, 2:37 pm)Malarkey I would think with 4961 to 4966 becoming part of the Driver Training Unit at Riverside, then 5204 to 5209 and 5211 will be split between Chester, Deptford, Riverside and Percy Main.
x1 = Deptford to replace 4961
x3 = Percy Main to replace 4962/63/64
x1 = Chester to replace 4965
x1 = Riverside to replace 4966
Note that 4966 is the only one of the batch that is Euro 5, the rest are Euro 4 so therefore 4966 may not become part of the Driver Training Unit, plus it was recently painted into the new corporate livery also.

(03 Mar 2017, 6:17 pm)S813 FVK Cheers. Any idea what is happening with 5337/8 yet? I imagine one will need to remain at Stanley for now to operate the single decker board on the 6/X70/X71 so I can't see them going just yet.

(03 Mar 2017, 6:54 pm)Adrian I suppose it depends on how many of the ex-Diamond Citaros end up being back at Stanley. If they're all going elsewhere for other front line service, then I'd be surprised if 5337/38 didn't follow suit too?

Something yellow that's probably of greater interest than the taglines being rolled out to Go North East's fleet liveried buses at the moment, is ex-Plymouth Solo 713, which has been repainted into the yellow and red base livery as carried by the "Venture" branded examples at Stanley.

(04 Mar 2017, 10:22 am)Michael Wonder if 604 will be replaced by 713 at Stanley then, so all there examples are in Venture?That's what I'm going with. Going to hazard a guess that it would be used on Tesco Free Bus.
Unless a new brand is coming for a different service.
