(15 Apr 2018, 8:27 pm)Michael 901 is used for South Hylton to Heworth - probables because Network Rail maintain that line
900 is used for the rest of the line
Although some reason, i'm thinking there once was a 902.

(15 Apr 2018, 8:43 pm)Kuyoyo 901 is used along the whole of the Green Line, not just the Heworth to South Hylton part.
Of course, when it's the central section closed, unless some of each route at either end is also involved in the closure, all replacements run as 900s (like today)

(15 Apr 2018, 5:17 pm)JM03 Saw 3943 on 900 what operated X88 then?
); the board 3943 was allocated to on Metro Replacement was supposed to be parked up at Gateshead Interchange from 14:00 until 22:00, so was a sensible swap with 6054 (with the X88 on paper operating more mileage, benefits from better fuel economy, passenger benefits of Wi-Fi / Next Stop Announcements).(15 Apr 2018, 6:25 pm)TEN 6083 Are GNE doing Metro Replacements for the next 2 weekends (22/28/29) or is it another operator

Speaking of that, 6071 had 901 on the destination today when only the 900 was due to operate. Driver error possibly?

(16 Apr 2018, 2:11 pm)Jordan2104 Think the 900A is Airport-South Gosforth
900A IIRC was the direct service from Airport to Newcastle Central Station. Also will the black Scanias be allowed to wander a bit more from time to time compared to the Olympians that previously ran on the contract.
(18 Apr 2018, 9:02 am)Michael Is that all of them now?, hopefully means the horrible presidents will be gone by end of the week.
(18 Apr 2018, 10:09 am)Dan Yes, 6158 was the last to go to Stanley on Monday (entering service today).
Also notable is that this one doesn't feature fabric 'Go' seat moquette. Has e-leather.

(18 Apr 2018, 10:14 am)Michael Did it arrive with e-leather from London or has Blackburn put the leather in themselves?
Any brand repaints coming up soon?
