They will be done, I’m sure, but it’s certainly not as desperate as is being alluded here.

According to bus times, 6043 and 6045 are in service on Red Kite Rangers so these must be 2 more finished and ready to go at Consett today. Will probably mean the transfer of 6301 and 6376/7 soon

These are 6044 and 6048.

6046 is at Saltmeadows now having been repainted, and is to be branded tomorrow.

6047 is the final example to be done, and it's still away at the moment. Probably in service by w/c 6 December.

I was in Consett, some New Durham Diamonds haven't been retrimmed, some don't have USB's. ANd some newly painted haven't been retrimmed

6064 and 6069 (fleet livery) are the only two which don't have USB charging points yet. All the Durham Diamonds have them, though not all re-trims have been completed yet.

The only Durham diamond that has not been retrimmed is 6061 I believe it is.
well the final one that entered service.
I’d also fix the stripe on that same bus as they have cut a bit of the blue stripe off

What is 5505/6 going to be, as it seems to have a gap in the fleet numbers?

They were Ommicitys which are now withdrawn

Pretty sure most people knew that 6346 was on loan to Riverside, but has now been swapped for 6377 - a permanent (for the time being) move?

6171 has moved to Riverside from Percy Main

5292 moved to Washington

What is “Voyager”?

A starship that was stranded in the delta quadrant

Is the starship operated by Voyager, part of Northern Coaching, part of Go North East, part of The Go Ahead Group?
