Do Saltmeadows not stock 'Journeys taken care of' stickers ?

Did I not read somewhere that these B9TL's have had their gearboxes replaced with a different ZF gearbox since leaving London.

It was being towed away from the Metrocentre at about 6pm on Friday, all in one piece and I didn't notice any damage (didn't know there'd been a fire at the time) so can't have been that bad

Probables be withdrawn now, the Euro 5 engine will probables go in to another Scania if its savable, loads of buses have had fires lately, surprised VOSA aren't looking in to it.

It might have been found, possibly at annual test, that Wrights mixed the registrations up? Perhaps they now bear the correct ones.

Thats quite possible although I have seen vehicles displaying incorrect plates on the front and the correct one on the back on more than one occasion.

Why is the March discussion under February?

Anyone know if GNE are keeping the Nexus-secured 32A? Any other possible operators?
GNE didn't give any updates on the 32A during the bad weather this week, so I don't know if the service operated until today or not.

The new go north east app is truely awful. It’s not user friendly at all.
The only good thing Is the live tracker.
No news no full timetables to view no service updates poor communication with recent weather. Get the old app back please

Don’t usually do app reporting, but I accidentally clicked on it when seeing if my bus had started tracking yet.

Yes, it did the PM 831 which runs off (and onto) the 30. I tend to omit the scholars services as they usually provide little value to people if they want photos etc (especially in this case)
