) to fit them in when they come to Chester for maintenance. Also, any ideas if Weardale will receive any of the Palatine 2s when they finally get phased out of the GNE fleet?
Just out of interest, does anyone know if GNEs contract with Weardale for the storage of the Pronto Presidents and OK Way MPDs is going to continue? Just a thought. Chester has room (there WOULD be more if those National Express coaches weren't there ) to fit them in when they come to Chester for maintenance.

(11 May 2014, 7:39 pm)tyresmoke They sign a contract on a yearly basis I understand, I'm sure Weardale are happy to keep them there it's mainly the GNE end I'd be bothered about.
Not sure whether the DCC contracts have an age limit (don't think they do) but those Leyland Olympians won't go on forever so the Volvo's would be a decent buy, after all they're well looked after and Weardale bought some of the previous batch.

Hi i would say Weardale will no doubt buy some more deckers from GNE as over they years they have bought Atlanteans Metrobuses and Olympians as well as the Volvos and possible a Queen Mary driver Trainer from Northern but that is before my time.Anyone know if the new 14 reg Volvo has replaced a Coach or just added to the fleet and the Dennis Javelin now carries the reg T66 WMS.
From June 2nd Weardale will operate Service 111 Spennymoor - Willington on Saturdays.

Scarlet Band will continue to operate the service Monday to Fridays.
Service 115 will probably interwork with Service 111 on Saturdays now.

(01 Jun 2014, 4:33 pm)peter Erm...most likely an optare solo considering they use optare solos on the vast majority of their service work including the 7 and the 115, both of which run from Spennymoor, so when you think about it, it's not to difficult to work out, is it?

(02 Jun 2014, 3:22 pm)tyresmoke Contracted to DCC as Scarlet Band don't want to run it on a Saturday any more, I assume.

I know the arrival of the new Panther 2 (or is it 3 now?) has already been noted, but I've found one of the Panther in its full Trafalgar livery prowling the streets of York.
