(24 Oct 2014, 1:47 pm)Dan wrote Repainted red Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5275 (NK07 KPG) returned to Riverside this morning following engine modifications at Smiles.
On a related note, "Blaydon Racers" branded Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5278 (NK07 KPN) was sent to Saltmeadows for repaint this morning too. Getting through these Mercs quite quickly - paint prep should get done tomorrow and it should enter the paintshop early next week. Hopefully get two of them done next week and be one ahead of schedule!
Fleet lists updated accordingly.
The last of the dfds sea ways buses came out the paint shop this morning in Orange and White. Seen it when I was delivering there this morning. Would imagine it will be going to Thornton bros for deep clean

possibly Euro 5 spec. and new vehicles like Gemini 3 they look impressive seen one in Lothian Colours on Demo once if they were to order some they would probs get some for X1 which the Gemini 2 versions 6001-6007 are off to Crook as rumoured for X21 to allow them presidents to settle for a spare role but what will happen to the 12 Reg Plated ones if rumoured

I think it would have been GNE if it was in school term time but I guess a few indendent operators would have tendered on the basis of some school contracts not running this week.

RE: Go North East - Latest - Kuyoyo - 26 Oct 2014
(20 Oct 2014, 4:21 pm)Kuyoyo wrote National Express news - due to issues with Yourbus (a high number of VORs reported, resulting in operation recently by Parks of Hamilton), Go North East will temporary taking on operation of the 591/594 between London and Edinburgh. Owing to the overnight nature of the 594, it seems they will be worked by ex-Yourbus B9Rs 7116 (FJ60 KVM) and 7118 (FJ60 KVP) as these two have crew seats.
Information from NX Yahoo Group
EDIT: Sorry, only just seen that - apparently happened a fornight ago and since been replaced by Bruces of Salburgh
And GNE have reverted to operating the 591/594 - as shown by 7112 arriving in Newcastle on Friday afternoon on the 1555 591 to Edinburgh arriving over half an hour late (arrival in Newcastle was meant to be 1545).

Just checked this out and it's defintely late. GNE should put this on the back of theor Cobalt Clipper buses with the tagline:
"We might go through Battle Hill and Cobalt instead of the so called "Motorway", but we get you there on time!"

Although fleet list shows 3825 has moved from Stanley to Riverside (Maybe on way to be withdrawn?)
