(24 Nov 2017, 9:05 am)JP6004 Would be better to have 5 long base versas for 28 with some of the south tyne going Quaylink
I’m wondering if the new double deckers ordered for the Angel service 21, could possibly be Optare Metrodeckers??
I thought this a while back when the Metrodecker was on Demo for such a long period of time and now the fact that Chester le Street depot are starting to standardise their Single decker fleet with Optare Versas.
Just my thoughts that’s all.

(24 Nov 2017, 10:56 pm)Michael Will 5298 be branded before it goes to Hexham?, has the brand changed much?

(25 Nov 2017, 12:09 am)MrBoyt I'll be sad to see them go as a bit of variety is always good, but when you get a bad one they can be a right pain to drive. The engines are good but the suspension is too far gone on lots of examples, and when the dashboard indication for the bell doesn't work (a common fault), you need to have very good ears to hear it above all the rattle and din.

Spotted this in the news:
IN 6 DAYS GO NORTH EAST (1st December)
#5201
Following repaint and completion of annual PSV test, this vehicle has returned to service at Riverside Depot. At Riverside; this vehicle should be primarily allocated to services 67/69, allowing the fleet livery Optare Versas on these services to be temporarily allocated to another service.
Wonder where the Versa's are going?

(25 Nov 2017, 12:11 pm)Michael Citaro's on the 88/88A?, I don't know how busy the routes get, so not sure if they would gain Citaro's, the 9 could also be changing in these rumoured changes
Also what if the they're just dropping the 35 from the See It Do it brand?, having all 10 reg Citaro's allocated to it, there's 7 done, the PVR for the 35 is 8.

(25 Nov 2017, 12:37 pm)S813 FVK Don't have a clue really, I'm in the dark about as much as you with that one.
As for the 35, I think that it would be better if it remained in the Seeit Doit brand with the 36, preferably using Versas, to provide a level of consistency (including specification) on the shared corridor with the 36, especially as the 15 minute frequency is advertised between Houghton and Sunderland.
Talking of consistency, the Toon Link Omnidekkas still don't appear to have WiFi. Delay in the kits being delivered or something else?
