(01 Jun 2019, 10:35 pm)MalarkeyJust been having a bit of a think about having a running day using some of the remaining fleet of Scania L94UB Wright Solars from Go North East for a final farewell before they are all withdrawn over the summer.
The idea would be to have a Solar from each batch from the year they were bought new with all of them being used during the day on some of the routes they used to operate, this could work two ways it could be set up for the Solar to run additional boards of various services on a Saturday or Sunday similar to what Lothian do, Alternatively it could be completely independent to enthusiasts only similar to the NNRG running days.
So the routes for the day if it went ahead would be:
4932- 57/57A - Newcastle - Gateshead - QE Hospital - Fewster Square - Heworth - Fellgate - South Shields
4966 - 194/294 - Heworth Metro - Concord - Washington - Fatfield - Shiney Row - Success Road - Houghton-Le-Spring
4968 - 35A/39 - Heworth - Boldon - Castletown - Sunderland - Barnes Park - Shiney Row - Houghton - Low Moorsley/Pennywell - Sunderland - Ryhope - Doxford International
4976 - Route 19 - Northumberland Park - Cobalt - Percy Main - North Shields
4989 - 20/20A/777/47 - South Shields - Sunderland/Sunderland - Penshaw - Fatfield - Harraton - Birtley - Low Fell - Gateshead - Newcastle/Newcastle - MetroCentre - Blackhall Mill
5216 - 220/222 - Sunderland - Houghton-Le-Spring - Durham
5221 - The Loop
5229 - OK1/X84/X85 - Middlesbrough - Darlington - Bishop Auckland - Crook/Hexham - Corbridge - Heddon On The Wall - Newcastle
Other vehicles from these batches could be used in order to create extra runs.
Another addition repaint and refurbish them into their original liveries
Another idea for buses going this summer. Put the remaining presidents into their angel livery and put them on the 21 during the summer alongside the vykings being put in their angel livery and run the 21 alongside the presidents
