Several 'recognised colleges' have reached an agreement so that their id is accepted.
Guessing that means school 6th forms and smaller colleges haven't reached agreement and passports are still required to travel for the cheaper fare...

Or the layout of the ID cards of those school 6th forms and smaller colleges don't meet the criteria GNE are looking for - my 6th form ID card didn't have my date of birth printed on.

Quite possibly.
Not sure it is up to those other colleges or 6th forms to adapt their id to suit the bus operators demands though.
I've got no recollection whether my college even had the need for id, never mind whether it had a dob on.
Living in T&W at the time, the TeenTravel ticket was go to option and one that the PTE really pushed. The flexibility to purchase one, two or three zone tickets and being able to use a wide range of operators, meant it was a no-brainer for me and many others.
I wonder if that push is something Nexus could step up, for those living and studying in T&W.
Priced attractively and marketed correctly, I certainly think it would help students overcome the id concerns.

(05 Oct 2019, 9:41 am)Michael These are ones which have arrived so far:The three of them were under the front canopy. NK69 FBL was obstructed by 6305, and could just see the front of it. All 3 were branded.
5489 (NK69 FBA)
5490 (NK69 FBB)
5492 (NK69 FBD)
5494 (NK69 FBF)
5495 (NK69 FBG)
5497 is NK69 FBL according to the GNE official fleet list
Did 5490/92 have branding?, because looking at the buses tax: 5490 (NK69 FBB), 5492 (NK69 FBD) both now have road tax
-----------------------
When the E200's enter service, they'll probables replace the Versa's at Riverside but i do wonder if they'll end up on the Loop, so then Riverside is cleared of Scania's and Depot standardisation has taking place.

6046 is having issues with its destination screen as the route number (10B) is not showing but the destination is showing

With regards to the E200MMCs, I take it only select vehicles are going to have illuminated fleetnames.

(04 Oct 2019, 6:35 pm)citaro5284 Reported on East Yorkshire Enthusiasts fb page is that EY 795 is transferring to GNE
Think the plan was going to be something like a four-way swap with EYMS (for the Red Kite B9s?). Unsure how that plan is materialising with the uncertainty/delay of the Streetdeck now.

(06 Oct 2019, 8:06 am)cbma06 I thought the red kites B9’s were going on the 93/94?

Has there been confirmation of that?
I could be barking up the wrong tree as it was a comment I'd been made aware of! Could well be just the one for the full X30 PVR, time will tell as always.

(06 Oct 2019, 8:15 am)S813 FVK I think it is the Toon Link B9s that are going on the 93/94. Mr G mentioned it in one of the Facebook groups a few weeks ago.

A comment on Dan's twitter indicated the Streetdecks would of started to arrive from October/November time.

Hopefully someone takes them over so they can build and deliver them... due to the number of buses needing Euro 6 engines for the LEZ zone in newcastle, will the council delay the deadline due to the collapse of Wrightbus?, would be interesting to see if they would.
