RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - CatsFast101 - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:14 pm)Dan - X66 Shocked to see fab57 getting investment straight away but yeah this sounds about right, same I said in the other thread. 4 Solars from Prince Bishops' over to Pulse possibly? Could we see 64/95/96 get some too under a new brand?

Pulse - Possibly - not sure on numbers though, not from the area - with spare solar's - seem's likely. 64/64A/95/96 - might rejoin the Highwayman? - Whats their PVR?

Could we see 64/95/96 get some too under a new brand? Has certainly been suggested for a good two months or so now - and not by me this time! http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=784&pid=22211#pid22211 Well... Do you think the Pulse is gonna go red in a few weeks' time? If so, I see no problem with that suggestion. As for the 64/95/96, I doubt it - not yet.

It seems daft that all the B10's from 17/17/67/69/69A will go Northern when their inline to be withdrawn this year -.- Even though Dan said - a good tidy up might increase value, i still think its daft their wasting money when they won't even get much for them RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Dan - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:34 pm)Michael It seems daft that all the B10's from 17/17/67/69/69A will go Northern when their inline to be withdrawn this year -.- Gotta think - those B10BLEs have had a bit of work done to them! They're Euro 4, after all. Interiors aren't too shabby at present, but if they're given a thorough clean regardless... If they're in a more appropriate red (rather than a tired old yellow which hasn't been repainted for a good while), operators who are less likely to be able to afford £1.5k or so for a repaint, may be more tempted to buy them.

Ask and you shall receive RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Michael - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:40 pm)Kuyoyo Ask and you shall receive Yes, that's perfect, it suits the citaro really well RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Dan - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:40 pm)Kuyoyo Ask and you shall receive We should hope that the current livery will be retained on the Mercs - should the PB receive them! If GNE think it's another Crusader, it's entirely possible we'll have a cheap in-house design unfortunately. RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Tom - 11 Feb 2014 This could possibly happen if the Crusader did receive investment. Crusader Citaros: 5310-14 - Stanley for services X30 and X31. 5315-19/5328-29/30/32 to Stanley for the Red Kite Services. Laser Citaros: 5298-5309 - Deptford for Prince Bishops. Solars would displace Renowns. Red Kite Omnicities: 5234-42 - Percy Main for Centurion along with 5250 which could be a branded spare. Prince Bishops Solars: 4989-92 - Riverside for the Pulse. 4969/5211-13 - Riverside for the X40. 5214-16 - Chester-le-Street for the 71, branded as the ''Lambton Worm''. 5216 would be a spare for both the 71 and 34/34A. 5217 - Riverside for the Soccerbus.

Interiors aren't too shabby at present, but if they're given a thorough clean regardless... Saying their euro 4 - then i agree - i didn't know that, as for being red, ye saves getting rid of the shabby yellow Tom- theirs also 4989-4992 - which is still the wrong colour for the Prince Bishops on the fleet allocation I would say 67/69/69A - 4969,4989,4890,4891,4892 -------------- Then theirs 5211,5212,5213,5214,5215,5216,5217 - Removes more B10's from frontline service.

The current Prince Bishops doesn't look cheap, i really hope its not going to be Crusader job and be rubbish - if of course they receive them RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - CatsFast101 - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:43 pm)Dan We should hope that the current livery will be retained on the Mercs - should the PB receive them! I think the Prince Bishops livery is very good so if it's a new cheap one on the Citaros I'd be disappointed slightly.

PVR for the Pulse is only 4. 4989-92 - Riverside for the Pulse. (Replacing 5160/1/2/3) 4969/5211-13 - Riverside for the X40. (Replacing the tired Artics). 5214-16 - Chester-le-Street for the 71, branded as the ''Lambton Worm''. 5216 would be a spare for both the 71 and 34/34A. (Replacing various Renowns from frontline services). 5217 - Riverside for the Soccerbus. (Replacing 4910 from frontline services) RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - northtynelinks2 - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:48 pm)Tom Yes, I know. PVR for the Pulse is only 4. Does 4910 even appear on Soccerbus journeys? RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Dan - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:47 pm)Michael The current Prince Bishops doesn't look cheap, i really hope its not going to be Crusader job and be rubbish - if of course they receive them That's the problem. I highly doubt it was cheap. Even though it's only a few vinyls, I'd suggest it wasn't on the cheap side. If GNE think it is to receive investment the following year (far too early to be discussing this, but hey ho!), I'm inclined to suggest that it will be a cheaper design to get them through the year prior to yet another cascade (probably the Fast Cats, or something similar). (11 Feb 2014, 5:48 pm)Tom Yes, I know. PVR for the Pulse is only 4. Where's aureolin with his contractual requirement line?!

RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Tom - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:51 pm)northtynelinks2 Does 4910 even appear on Soccerbus journeys? Yeah, mostly. It's normally on the Blaydon Racers when the Soccerbus isn't operating, but is branded for advertising.

Simple answer to that net - it was either a plain purple one or use the present branding, so easy choice to make. As for mentions of investment for Fab57, would I be as bold as to throw something I made earlier into the speculation RE: 2014 GNE Bus Order Predictions - Dan - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 5:55 pm)Kuyoyo As for mentions of investment for Fab57, would I be as bold as to throw something I made earlier into the speculation Somewhat similar services, aren't they?

It looks much better on a versa than the current B10's. bet it gets some streetshites though! |
