(07 Dec 2021, 11:12 am)N1cholas 5413 and 5414 are the first 2 streetlites to be brought into action on the 50/26 from today replacing the omnicitys currently used
(07 Dec 2021, 8:15 pm)Michael That's a surpriseNo, South Tyneside Council Paid for the Omnicitys to become Euro 6, so they wont be moving until withdrawel
Are the Omnicities moving elsewhere in the fleet as they're Euro 6?

(07 Dec 2021, 8:18 pm)Michael Why has 2 Streetlites been allocated?, seems odd when the Omnicities still need to be allocated.I believe the Streetlites will be the ones to takeover after the Omnicitys leave, so i guess just to see how they perform and just if people like them.

(07 Dec 2021, 8:11 pm)KingSlayerRBLX I Guess since CountryRanger now has 2 Buses done and nearly a third.
I guess the Prince Bishops will be the next one in line to get its branding done up.
that would mean all buses in the South Shields region except the 50 have had either new buses or new updated brands.

(07 Dec 2021, 8:57 pm)Dan Not related to the Prince Bishops, but picking up on your comment about the 50 not having new buses or an updated brand, the service is currently being upgraded from OmniCitys new in 2007 to Streetlites which are 8 years younger.

Actually I believe it's allowed if GNE replaced the Omnicities with another vehicle providing the euro rating of said vehicle is equal or higher than said Omnicities. Though said Streetlites mentioned are Euro 5 unless they have been modified.

(07 Dec 2021, 11:32 pm)Keeiajs If you weren't having a bad day.Streetlites are fine for most loads on the 50, and it doesn't take much for something to be an upgrade from those Scanias!
You have to spare a thought for the Riverside Drivers, nice for Deptford to get rid of them. Tbf I would take a Versa over any streetllite bar the Ex-Black Cats. Granted there isn't much I would pick a streetlite over

The only problematic runs will be the AM ones that are crammed with Durham Sixth form and New College students from Washington. The narrow design of the Streetlite makes standees a problem further back.

(08 Dec 2021, 5:58 am)Dan I’d imagine the gradual replacement of the Streetlites with StreetDecks on boards which have large loadings will be planned - indeed one has been converted already for a busy PM trip from Durham.The Streetdecks would have to be for the summer, I have had moments in the summer where the 50 can get really busy to the point it is full by Concord
If nothing else over the last 12 months, Go North East has adapted their vehicle allocation to match demand. Single-deck services have been converted to double-deck in the main, but there have also been services downsized from single-deck to minibus.
