(31 Jul 2018, 5:18 pm)Dan Think you may have mixed it up with 6104.

6103 has been VOR since the end of June - it's currently at Volvo (Crowther Industrial Estate, Washington) having some work done to its engine.

Now back at Percy Main undergoing preparation for PSV test.

All being well, 6103 will be back on the road this Friday.

Angel 6331 doesn’t seem to have had its NSA silencer update. It’s announcing the number and destination during boarding and again on door closure.

From Dan's comment on Flickr:

The 06 plate Geminis are primarily being allocated to Deptford and Percy Main so are subject to use on daytime services in between schools, hence tidying up their appearance and fitting with LED displays.

How many will each depot get?

Where has 618 gone? It's no longer at Riverside, and it's last trace was the app showing it was on the AD122.

That road wasn’t designed for large vehicles I’ve seen my accidents happen in the late eighties early nineties the bends are too sharp.
I saw a 38 couple of years ago nearly wipe out a family car under the bridge

It was withdrawn a month or so ago, it was crawling along the Team Valley at around 5/10mph before giving up, with clouds of black smoke being thrown out.

I believe it's at Hexham to assist with keeping 619 on the road.

Would this replace the omnidekkas at percy main so they can cascade to other services?

Are the Bluestar Citaro's being allocated to just 1 depot or various depots around the NE?, i can't remember if it was said where they would be allocated.

Not sure tbh, looking at the fleet lists, they would replace nothing at Deptford, as the only B9's we have are the Fab 56 B9's. 


6010 needs replacing at Percy Main, so i would imagine that would replaced by an Omnidekka, to move the president in to a spare role.

Driver wouldn't have made that decision - he'd have been told to do so by the control room.

They have plans for regulating each service and presumably Bus Station - Oakerside is what they deem most appropriate to regulate.

I hope you have reported this to Go North East customer services, as well as posting on here. If you don't report it, they might not know.

When the x7 arrived at Peterlee bus station , another GNE employee came across to the bus and told the driver to head back to Sunderland and don’t do the oakerside circle.
