I would I had some sense of adventure today, was out for 12 and a half hours today, getting all the Phoenix stuff although I struggled to hold that after spending well over an hour at Kingston Park as the Stagecoach service 6 turned up about 25 minutes late!

You never mentioned that before about the 6

Although 3983 is shown on Go North East's latest Fleet Allocation as transferring to Riverside, it is still in use at Chester-le-Street today. On service X22.

6014 is by far the loudest GNE bus..

Could I ask that you refer to the 'guidance on issue reporting' thread please?

Yep, been using only tapatalk for a long while so wasn't aware of that thread's existence. Will follow that in the future, thanks!

3969 has got an awful squeaking sound. It was parked up at Four Lane Ends and it didn't sound too healthy

Another driver saying all prince bishops are slow ...

So much for improving reliability, the 41 is a no show from Wallsend Metro

Not too sure about that, sorry!
Saw it in Fewster Square at the time I reported that.
Maybe check at Saltmeadows, some Citylink Versas might be there, but I haven't been down there in a while...
However, I am lead to believe that 5385-5388 are in for repaint as 5385 and 5388 are yellow.

I think the amount of time they spend sitting at timing points compared with the solars somewhat contradicts that perception.

A no show would perhaps suggest a break down? Which could happen any where any time, not because of the new route and timetable. If there was a problem with the new route and timetable it would have turned up, just late?

Don't know if it's been mentioned before (apologies if it has) but a red gne omnidekka has entered service at Stanley numbered 3993. 6137 and 6138 in b & h colours were parked up at Consett bus station today.
