5237 is at Stanley, just VOR.
6124 is VOR, hence why it hasn't been repainted and branded yet.

Thanks for the info Dan! Was reading off the GNE site Fleet Allocation with regard to 5237 - obviously haven't updated to reflect the transfer due to the vehicle being VOR

Never is, sometimes its a few days behind on fleet movements when it's updated.

It hasn't been updated since 26th June.
6085 is now "Black"

Wonder if a full re-branding of the FAB 56 in the future?

More Toonlink perhaps?  Huh

If that happens, then i wonder if the FAB 56 will get new buses?

Then again it might of been repainted to promote something?

The Sunderland City of Culture logo is black....would make sense
I think we will see an Angel Hybrid painted black, soon, too...

Is it for an promotinal event?


Sounds like a Adidas advert.

So...Sunderland culture bid then? 

It's alright no-one will see the hybrid anyway. Better off doing an Omnidekka  Big Grin Big Grin
With them having 5439, i am not entirely sure it will have anything to do with the City of Culture bid. Repainting a bus (the Angel Hybrid) that normally operates on a service that does not go through Sunderland doesn't make much sense either.
Was driving through Stocksfield at around 7pm tonight and 5231 was parked at the side of the road with hazard lights on and driver sitting on the ground on the opposite on the pavement leaning against a wall, it was on 10 as had it on its destination screen.

Think it might be LYNX, Adidas or even Samsung.

Not sure though
Which depots will be operating the Metro Replacements? Perfect for percy main and riverside

I'm going to say that Go North East have placed an "Unconfirmed Order" for B5TL's for the 56, and an order in for Streetlites to replace the Omnicities on Toonlink, with the cascaded B9's replacing the Omnidekka's thus leading to withdrawal of the B7 Presidents and some of the older Scania L94's in the fleet as a result, with the new vehicles arriving later in the year.

Are we getting any form of payment for the mentioning of brand names on here? Because I'd happily suggest more brands if this is the case

You'll be glad to see that it has been updated with the fleet as of W/C 17th June.

Apart from the vehicle movements, it has also been updated to reflect Stanley's move out of the South Division into the North Division joining Riverside, Hexham and Percy Main.
re 6085 - if an Angel and Fab56 are both being repainted, is there anything that these services have in common?

They both serve Newcastle and Gateshead. 

Both get regular corporate branded spares. 

Both are rarely on time and run in 3s  Big Grin

Erm.... Wifi and mama's?
