(20 May 2019, 4:52 pm)Dan 5204 and 5205 will be retained in the fleet this week to cover additional vehicle requirements at Percy Main for the cruise ship shuttles in operation tomorrow and Thursday, alongside 4978/80/81 which were already planned to be retained this week for this purpose.

(02 Jun 2019, 2:58 pm)Michael Have any of these been withdrawn yet?
The B7RLE's have went to Go North West as Driver Trainers, I would think the L94's will be retained for a little while longer with the amount of repaints still outstanding at Percy Main.
Anyone know what the plan is for the Ex Thames Travel Solo now at Percy Main, will the Black Cats examples be painted into Indigo or will they all be painted into the Corporate Livery?

I would think they'll be gaining 'Little Coasters' livery eventually - seeing how the North Tyneside 'indigo' is being phased out for 'Little Coasters'. That plus Dan did say around the time of the changes that the older Solos are intended for the 11, with the SRs on 40/41/42/42A.

Any more of the longer OmniDekkas entering service, or have the plans changed?
9077 is out today, its on the 310 at Haymarket. Apparently its not tracking on the app

Wonder if the 2019 livery including front blue panel was "inspired!" by Warrington's Bus:

Time for Complete change?..considering EYMS and Go North West being far better looking corporate brand images.

9077 had departed from North Shields at 11.34, but not sure where it is now. Just a reminder that the 309/310 are stand-alone most of the time.

The Nexus contracts for September 2019 are awarded later this month - this will determine whether or not the remainder of the batch transfer north.

310 doesn't go into Cobalt itself, just skirts the bottom of it.
What happened to 1047 ? I have a picture of it at Washington on 15 June last year

Thanks for the update, who has bought 4978/80/81?
Was wondering, if more Omnidekka's arrive, if GNE don't need them, then the ones already here from that batch, will there fleet numbers be changed?
