Hopefully the god awful FAB 56 B9's after....

Probably not - there's still quite a few Volvo B7/Gemini and Mercedes Citaro to complete, in addition to two of the ex-Dawson Rental Solos.

Oh well, wonder when they're finally repainted, they'll drop the brand?, as we don't know what Martijn Gilbert, has planned for branding! 

Hopefully if he sticks with the FAB 56 brand, the flowers are dropped! Tongue

What has been planned for the Cobalt Clipper will have had nothing to do with him. 

I don't want the brand name to be dropped, but very much want to see a new design. I think I've expressed my dislike for the current branding on the forum before.

Talking of branding, are there any plans to debrand 6124/5/31 soon? They haven't been needed on the Toon Link services since February-ish (excluding the 1 on Sundays due to operating the 07:30 X30 to Stanley).

There's all sorts with the 6/X30/even X31 changing depot in the future, claims which are linked up to the fact that there are too many vehicles for the new Consett depot. I think they'll be debranded when the plans are set in stone for which services go where.

I can see half of those services moving to Riverside as a split allocation after the new depot opens.

It has always been intended that some routes would move to Riverside when the new Consett depot opens.

They should do this when consett opens

47*- riverside

6- riverside (as already intended)

X30/X31/peak X32- riverside

6/A- riverside/consett shared route (like the Arriva X12 is with stockton/belmont)

16/A- conset/chester le street shared services

The routes not mentioned stay at consett

47* once it moves to riverside renumber it the 10C make timetable alternations(so that the 10C/A can switch at blackhall mill and newcastle this will also mean timetable alternations for the 10A) make minor route alternations repaint 6118-21 to tyne valley ten add NSAs and plugs and you have a new part of the tyne valley ten.

The redkites only really work grouped together without re-doing the whole timetable. All but one 6A run from stanley also works off other stanley workings (RK/DD).
The X30/X31/6s take away quite a lot of vehicles away just by moving, so I doubt anything else needs to go.

Guess so, there's been talk of engine refurbs/touchups to them all too, so that would make sense with a depot transfer.
