Go North East: Withdrawn Vehicles & Fleet Disposals
Go North East: Withdrawn Vehicles & Fleet Disposals
Former GNE Solos in action with GNW in Middleton on Thursday. The irony also is that one of them was the first vehicle I've gotten in GNW livery as my previous visit in 2019 only one E400 had been painted and I couldn't find it to photo it whilst lurking in the area until it mocked me by crossing over the M62 motorway as I was heading home. So Thursday was my first visit to the area since then. No Citaros were out, another visit is planned over the coming months once the strike is over.
Anyway...

7131 has been parked up in the corner at Saltmeadows fow last few weeks
(03 May 2021, 5:50 pm)Dan No:
- 7129 was replaced by one of ex-Oxford interdeck coach 7151 - that displaced a Northern Coaching twin-axle from Riverside to Deptford for use on the 4274, replacing 7129 which was withdrawn.
- 7131 was never reinstated into full service - it was used as transport for drivers on loan to another part of the Go-Ahead Group, but when they returned, the coach was parked up at Volvo, surplus to requirements

GX03SSU / SUH / SUU / SUV / SUA / SVF / SVG / SVJ / YN04GJG have been sold by Ensign to Johnson Bros / Redfern Travel. This be the third time they've amassed a number of ex GNE vehicles, first time was the Leyland OIympian / ECW and the second occasion they operated a couple of the Optare Spectras for a short while.
Seen a post on Facebook about how Plymouth Citybus is exchanging former 5232 with 3 of our B7TL’s (no idea which ones as the post does not mention it), only that the exchange will be happening somewhere in the midlands.

(31 Jul 2021, 9:12 am)Michael Preservation?Probably the most likely reason. I couldn't see it re-enter service unless it was desperately needed, which I doubt given the school summer holidays.
Just spotted this on the Busesnortheast Facebook page, from a post by Jack Callaway.
Go North East 'Toonlink' Scania N230UB Omnicity 5240/NK56 KHH will enter preservation when it is withdrawn later this month.
Wonder of anymore will be withdrawn?

(12 Aug 2021, 12:36 pm)Michael Think so, but wasn't sure if that was changing, if that's still happening:
5239 – 5242
5249 – 5253
5263
5264
5266 - 5274
Would all be withdrawn = 20 withdrawn + 5481/5484/5486/5487 = 24 altogether
