Does anyone know why 5370 and 5372 are off? (Both Drifters)

As well as why 6178, and 6182 are off. (Both Voyager Geminis)

72 is understandable, it's so slow, and 5369 is bad as well, but with 5370 I am surprised, always felt it was better than 69.

Some of the ADL Enviro 400 from London haven't been on in months, 6964 in early December, 6960 in early Nov, and 6950 in early Jan.

Not to mention the 59,60 Plate B9s. 6198 hasn't been on since Sept, and 6199 hasn't been on since mid-October. 6200 from early November. 6206 since 23rd Dec. 6213 since October.

And 6336 hasn't been one is then 10th of march. And 684 (Little Pinks) hasn't been on since October as well.

Not all of the 59/60 plate B9s have arrived - all of those you mention have been ticket machine programming issues, the bus was never here!

6964 has been awaiting a part for a repair.

It's been off since January ticket machine was moved to 6330 but fleet number wasn't changed for a few days.

It's currently receiving a new engine

It was stored at Chester depot when it closed in September and was heavily damaged by youths that broke in. Only came back into service on Monday

Seen two Voyager B9's and a Blonde Solo heading through Stanley this morning?

Private hire or moving to Consett?

Dan did mention on this forum awhile ago that 664 will be replacing 723 around Easter time depending on what secured contracts would win or lose.

I really didn't know where to put this. If you go on the Accessibility Part of the GNE Website it states 'Our ‘Easy Access Guarantee' provides the added reassurance that, should a problem occur and a wheelchair user is unable to board, a complimentary taxi will be arranged.' - Is this still true?

Yes but I guarantee the next bus will be there long before a taxi is "sourced" and sent

The Voyager B9s are transferring to Consett for use on St Bede’s scholars (with the ex-GNW Volvo B9s in fleet livery used at Washington on Park View Scholars, the operation of which will transfer from Deptford to Washington from tomorrow).

664 is going to Hexham to replace 721 which will be withdrawn.
