(08 Dec 2021, 7:12 pm)cbma06 Service 60 streetlites should be getting a refresh sometime soon the same as the coaster refresh liveryI hope the 60 is getting a better, more complex livery. Coaster livery is very boring. However I wonder if they will hold off on that and just buy new buses for the 60, as it has really been left out with the Ex Saltwell Parks.

Martijn also did a Tweet to say he was also at Saltmeadows, and in the background - it looks like 5292 is getting a repaint - https://twitter.com/MartijnGNE/status/14...22/photo/3

Sounds like there's changes ahead, which will see services go to the places people are travelling to!

(08 Dec 2021, 10:51 pm)Andreos1 Not one of those places highlighted as traffic hot-spots and huge sources of congestion, have a range of services operating to/from different places.https://twitter.com/NELiveTraffic/status..._Ljv0SIxdw It is literally the first link you posted.
That's why I get all excited about these 'congestion busting' services that MG is on about.
The travel people know they're congestion hot spots (hence the cameras that have been installed for a number of years), so it is really pleasing to hear that GNE have congestion busting routes being launched after all these years of not having congestion busting routes

(08 Dec 2021, 11:16 pm)Adrian There's no consistency in the messaging here. If buses are proving to be congestion busting, why does he spend so much time talking about congestion? Unless the product isn't delivering results.

(08 Dec 2021, 11:30 pm)Adrian So how's it congestion busting, if it relies on infrastructure that doesn't exist?Tbf I do agree he keeps banging on about it however you are seeing no real change or plans for change.
Surely that's like me saying Sunderland are a Premiership team, only they're in League 1.

I think you'll find in the coming months that all three of the region's operators will be looking to scale back their networks, concentrate on the core and see how they can develop that, rather than focusing on weak points or taking back work that is, and will never be, profitable. Whilst there are many benefits to come from the BSIP (should the region be successful in its bid), it also looks at rationalisation of the network too.

(09 Dec 2021, 2:45 pm)Chris 1 Agreed, I think the colour combo suites the Solo well. Though I did have to twice as to weather the service bears any resemblance to the Crusader.Only difference is the little colour. On the solo it looks black and on Crusader it yellow. Apart from that no difference
