GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions
(01 Oct 2022, 6:41 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Has 646 permanently bit the dust now? Along with several other withdrawn vehicles, it seems to have disappeared off the fleetlist on bustimes having not been in use for a few months. Can't have done many miles since it got it's new engine(?) and repaint from Venture to corporate? Makes you wonder why they didn't just reinstate one of the ex North Tyneside solos insted of going to the expense of repairing and repainting 646.

Didn't know what thread to put this in so I chose this one, a streetlite on the 6 decided to smoke like hell, believe it was 5458 looking on bustimes (this happened yesterday)

3 vehicles which were in store at Chester Le Street have arrived for further storage at Deptford. There are 2 09 plate Versas with no fleet names or numbers and a Citaro (5286 I believe).
These have been vandalised whilst in storage hence the move.
