It says 'Saturdays (and Public Holidays)' rather than Sundays. Should have zoomed in, sorry.

Does anyone know whats currently in the paintshop?

Didn't Dan say ages ago that they were moving away from having 2 different set of buses for a branded route.
one of my mates he got total confused he was called Michael ironically enough from Hendon

Oh, I forgot GNE had to listen to one of the industry's experts! Forget their Marketing department!

Saw the Streetdeck at 17:50 heading west on Scotswood Road towards the Scotswood Bridge, any ideas why?

The Streetdeck was on the 11A it arrived at Ryton with "Not in Service" on the screen but passengers on board.

Wonder why it was on the 11A? Its supposed to be allocated to the X9/X10.

Ah. Sorry Michael.
A block of LEDs are not working on Omnidekka 6131 (i think - it was allocated to service 826 tonight if it helps and 6131 was definitely on scholars).

is that the same blue as the drifter streetlites? (maybe for service 61?) or an upgrade for service 50 Big Grin

fab57 should only be worthy upgrade to scanias and not citarios

I think they would only go on the 50 if another Citaro is getting painted to make it 6, I think 5337/5338 will be kept at Stanley as spares... especially when they'll only have 1 spare Streetlite at Stanley after changes happen.

As for the 61, i think GNE will stick to the Sliver ones on the service.... yet to be branded though.
