Many, many years ago, Jaguar ran 2.4 litre and 3.4 litre cars in convoy and the 3.4 litre one returned better fuel economy, so it can be that a larger engine with higher gearing can use less fuel that a smaller engine one with lower gearing.

Nothing lasts forever in my opinion for vehicles when I was a kid I used to like the Northumbria Motor Services Livery on the Cityzen while I used to love the Leyland Lynks Stagecoach had I remember hearing them roar through South Shields and one vehicle I miss was Leyland Olympian one of my first rides on Asda free bus with my dad when I was very little in the old Wear Buses livery service and sub branding no longer exists the company GNE does though
Any Vehicles on Loan to Washington Depot today, as from looking my post yesterday and danpicks post earlier in the odd workings thread, it would seem a few ST Versas are likely VOR.

With it being the first example to be done, I suspect this one will be away for quite some time for testing etc (hence why 3858 is being reinstated when required).
It was returned this morning and is presently at Riverside.
there has been an article on a website that is describing that in 22nd october GNE are planning on making a bus route that covers morpeth.

Have you got a link to the said article?
I have very fond memories of the Volvo Palatine II's particularly when Percy Main had them on the 308 circa 2000. My favourite seat was the single one that was ripped out of 3832 and 3833.

Right and? Surely if you have the article and you're able to use the forum then can't you just copy and paste the link? Just doing a quick Google and nothing even remotely similar to what you said comes up
How many bogus reports does this guy have to do before he gets a warning?
Moderation note: I've removed 4x posts from this thread, in response to the posting of misleading information. A couple of points on the back of this for people to take on board please.
- Untrue/misleading information: The forum rules are crystal clear about the posting of untrue/misleading information. If you are speculating on something or you have some unconfirmed information, simply make it clear in your post that this is the case. This will prevent most members getting irritated.
- 'Back seat' moderation: This is not required nor welcome on the forum. If there was a requirement for more moderators, then I'm sure Dan and Liam would address the problem. If feel that the content of a post is in breach of the forum rules, then use the 'report' button. That way we get a notification, and it doesn't add fuel to the fire in the thread.
- Respecting others: This is especially important when it comes to needing to challenge another user about their information. We should all be capable of doing this without coming across offensively.

Any questions? Drop me or someone else on the team a PM.
According to a friend of mine, the remains of ''Lime'' Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4851 (R851 PRG) were taken away from the back of Chester-le-Street depot by Alpha Recovery today. Amazing to think that it was still there since it's withdrawal, around August or September 2014 if I remember correctly?
