That looks really good - worth the wait. I'd expect comments relating to laziness on how they have just stolen the Toon Link brand and put it on a red base though.

(08 May 2017, 6:42 am)Dan It's going to be allocated to Hexham, so should be making its way there after use today. Likely to be parked up for driver familiarisation tomorrow, and allocated to services X81/185/681 from Wednesday all being well.

Remind me how long it's here for so I can see where to fit in tracking it down into my rather congested schedule. Hopefully next Tuesday all being well.

This may be of some use to some (S813FVK) people. These are the official times, I spent almost 2 hours carrying on inside word to get it anywhere near presentable, and even then the PDF conversion messed up some formatting.

Thank you for this - I don't know why the times are not published anywhere else online. They are probably stuck on a notice board at Tesco but nowhere to be found anywhere else. It's almost as if they expect us to be mindreaders and know when the bus is due without being told. This isn't a dig at GNE as I believe it was exactly the same when GCT operated it.

Wasn't branded as planned due to a high VOR this morning. Will be done as soon as there is a sufficient number of spare vehicles during the day - but Acky81 will have to wait a little bit longer, for now!

It does most of the time. You have to buy something from tescos to get on to the bus from Tescos. You can't board the bus from consett to lanchester for any reason, same with blackhill onwards. Journeys from Tescos will operate drop-off only, Tescos operate on the condition you stay on until Tescos, although none of this is moderated by drivers.

A photocopy of the drivers duty board is up in Tesco, on a noticeboard behind the tills.

I'd have a guess at it being 8324. I believe Dan has said in the past (I think it was when 5249 missed its repaint slot but the news had been updated to show that it had been repainted) that he notes repaints on the fleet news as happening on the first day that the bus is off the road for that purpose, rather than on the actual day it is repainted.
