RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - 3785 - 14 Jun 2016 Will that be the end of 3832, will it be economical to repair for 6 weeks work or indeed any future sale price?

I reckon there's still life in 3832 yet!

It was quite an impressive old chap when we caught it, a couple of weeks ago.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - Michael - 14 Jun 2016 We're zooming you to Sunderland International Airshow http://www.simplygo.com/news/sunderland-international-airshow First year with no 99 service. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - thetravelman - 14 Jun 2016 (14 Jun 2016, 5:19 am)Dan wrote They meet half way. Cheers Dan... I thought that could be a possibility also. Do GNE go down to inspect the second hand buses they buy from other Go Ahead companies or is it all taken as read from phone calls and emails/written communication of some sort. Then Offer a price to buy "X" number of used buses from the sister company and then await for delivery/collection. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - streetlite5402 - 15 Jun 2016 3875 has been withdrawn from Chester-le-Street due to being uneconomical to repair. Expected to be used as a Christmas Tree for spare parts in the depot. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - Michael - 15 Jun 2016 Is 4925 still in service at Deptford?, as its the last one in service according to the GNE fleet allocation. Wasn't sure if the last 3 Streetlites have entered service yet as sometimes the fleet allocation PDF can be behind.

Cheers Kuyoyo. I take it the B10 will remain until the remaining Scania's are repainted?

I'm not sure as to what will replace 3875. Actually; 3875 was VOR from 07/06/16, and withdrawn soon after. It's only this week that parts have started to be removed from 3875, however. So yes, that's why 3864 was temporarily loaned to Chester-le-Street. It was returned to Stanley at the weekend and replaced by 3887 on Monday. 3887 returned to Stanley yesterday, and 553 has taken its place today.

Any idea what they are replacing, as they don't have any older single deckers?

They do: Y-reg Scanias. I believe some of these will be cascaded to Riverside, replacing Volvo B10BLEs.

Chester-le-Street may well have had fewer double deckers off the road today, so a single decker (or minibus - which is what Stanley have spare at the moment with 547's withdrawal still outstanding) may well have been a more appropriate loan than a double decker. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016 - S813 FVK - 15 Jun 2016 Plus Stanley are 1 decker down at the moment (3832). I did manage to get a ride on 3864 last night though and it wasn't that bad I didn't think.

It's only this week that parts have started to be removed from 3875, however. Similarly, DAF SB120 8271 has been withdrawn from service at Washington. Unlike 3875, it has been allocated a more 'permanent' replacement: it has been replaced by Volvo B10BLE 4909 (which was originally shown on Go North East's Fleet Allocation for this week as being withdrawn). Go North East's 'Enthusiast Area' section of the website has since been updated, summarising movements which have occurred over the past few weeks: https://www.simplygo.com/enthusiast-area (15 Jun 2016, 3:54 pm)streetlite5402 wrote 5215 has transferred to Chester-le-Street. 5216 is expected tomorrow. 5215 is on service X35 today, and is not planned to transfer to Chester-le-Street (yet). It is 5216 which has transferred to Chester-le-Street, and is on services 889 / 91 / X21. (15 Jun 2016, 4:04 pm)Michael wrote 4972 has, and it should transfer to Percy Main once completed. 5217 hasn't (on service 2 today). |
