Thank you for the information.
Is GNE operating the Metro replacement between Chichester and South Shields? Are Day Rovers accepted? What timetable will be operating at Chichester during the line closure?
When they did this last time, it was a 4 minute journey and a PVR of 1 or 2. They just ran in line with the metro schedule on the NEXUS website but i found it to just run whenever tbh. The contract is still open for grabs i think
is 6132 on loan to Washington? Clocked it on the app on the X1
6333's turn, this afternoon - had an Alpha truck in attendance in CLS.

The Streetdecks haven't been having a good time recently!
Probably why I only ever seem to see Omnidekkas on the X21
What Gearbox do the Optare Solo SR M925 have?
Just noticed an Angel with Percy St as the destination. Does that mean it terminates at a stop on the street just past Eldon Sq bus station rather than waiting to get on to a stand? Bit like the late runners used to terminate on Blackett Street?

Allison - T2100s I'd think.

I've been one one that did that because it was heavily delayed. We mostly got off at St Mary's place.
Its nice to see Gold Standard making a return,im sure when the 08 mercs entered service (on what was then the 58),im sure they were Gold Standard
Open Toppers 3998 and 3999 are currently parked in the front shed at Percy Main depot as is the ADL E200MMC demo which is parked on the side that the shutter is down (annoyingly)

First 'proper' view with the branding applied, I think.
Looks good, and from clips on Twitter and Instastories <meta charset="utf-8">
of the onboard commentary it sounds good too.
Quite impressed how they went to the effort of adding black between the destination panel and upper deck front window, just like the Presidents were brand new.

Ah yes, I liked the 'Gold Standard' gold Citaro rigids, & even more so the gold Citaro artics with their 3 sets of doors. I remember not being quite so impressed however when our 'gold standard' gold mercs were then replaced with orange versas, with NSAs in a thick geordie accent, lol. Glad the latter part has since been rectified though.

Now bare with me while I cringe...

Now go out on a Saturday night and people will be showing off a lot more than the city!

Standard Ray-isms!
The 55-degree mention is quite apt, though. What most don't know is that the 'G' in the Go North East logo was changed to cut off at a 55-degree angle (pointing towards the north east), and the 'road stripes' on the fleet livery and new brands are all done at 55-degrees.
The concept doesn't work quite so well for Go North West...

What is the metro schedule going to be at Chichester with South Shields closed? Yes the metro replacement bus does appear to be quite random from what I've read on here.

Well, considering Go North West operate in what is quite obviously the North West Midlands and nowhere near the North West, even the name doesn't work!

I don't think we can be quite that picky!
According to Wiki, Greater Manchester is in the North West region:

We all know how unreliable Wikipedia is.
We can't have those pesky midlanders pretending to be northern can we!
