According to the Go North East fleet news, 4898 has been withdrawn, so it looks like it might not make to Deptford after all.

News, that it was intended to transfer to Deptford, can be found here: http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/it...peratorF=2&fleetnoF=4898

They could always send 4899.

They were both due to head over. Not too sure if a replacement, an older solar i'd assume, will be sent over. Doesn't seem that they are needed at Deptford just yet though.

I would think with the Citaros for the X84/X85 now returning from Blackburn that a Scania L94 from Hexham would transfer to Deptford in 4898's place.
Was on 6148 tonight and what a mess the interior is (upstairs anyway). All of the seats are wrecked more or less, think they could do with a refurb!
6147 and 6148 are due to be internally refurbished (retrim and fitment of luggage bays) from this month, after all of the additional contracts Go North East gained finish.

The remaining OmniDekkas in the fleet will then be re-trimmed and have handle bars etc repainted, too.

As mentioned previously, this exercise will take a few months to complete, being done on a one-by-one basis.

Ah right, that's good then. I didn't even notice they didn't have luggage racks
What's so special about 9094? Have I missed something?
It's orange.

Very poor. Its not as though they even need a tacho bus now.
6308 doesn't have a visual next stop display upstairs. Although, I'm very impressed with the service offered!

The announcements re diversions and attractions are great.
