They're not at Connexions, they're at GNW.
Has there actually been any confirmation of them being sold? Sure the post I saw noted them being on loan.

On Dans post on Facebook it is 5488/91 saying theyve left to go to Connexions Buses, but the same buses are also apparently on loan to GNW

That post definitely doesn't say they've gone to Connexions, merely that they were pictured there on their travels.

It's been suggested earlier in the thread by people who have been involved in vehicle movements similar to these that Connexions is used as a halfway point. That these vehicles have now appeared in pictures at GNW, it should be clear that this is the case.

Loaned to allowed Solo SR 678/679 to return.

Just wish people could be more straightforward rather then act all cryptic because they get a buzz off it.

Seen a London B9, 5401 and another streetlite heading towards Consett this morning in convoy all with engineers at the wheel, assume the 2 streetlites are replacements for the Enviros.

6062 and 6215 replaced 5488 and 5491.

5401 and 5409 from Deptford will replace the next two (themselves being replaced at Deptford by 678 and 679).

Wait some GNE swapped 2019 Enviro 200MMCs for 2 solos. Why not sent 2 versas down there or even streetlites? Especially if they're only for driving training.

Agree, seems odd. Unless they’ll just be on route learning until they get them debranded.
Must be a bigger job than we realise, after all, GNE never managed to complete it. Wink

8347 looks like it maybe departing, currently in Saltmeadows being stripped of its driver recruitment vinyls.

Also present at the rear of Saltmeadows is Go-Ahead London Optare Olympus bodied ADL Trident (E400) DOE18 (LX58CXH) (Seen here in London a few years ago https://flic.kr/p/2mumm2S). I'm not sure if this is for Go North East, but there was mention of them heading to Go North West, could possibly be parked here pending onward movement to Thornton's.

I don’t believe that 8347 is leaving Go North East - perhaps being repainted at long last?

Wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the dedicated spare to the 35 as 8339-46 is the entire PVR and there is no way there wont be atleast one of them all at anytime
