Stanley's former "Red Kite" branded Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB) is, as we speak, in the process of being prepared for its repaint, ahead of new vehicles arriving for the "Red Kite" services in the coming weeks and its consequent cascade to another service.

There have been no new arrivals today.

(24 Mar 2015, 3:57 pm)Dan wrote The three Streetlites pictured in the link cbma06 posted earlier arrived later in the day after 5391 (NK15 EMV) this morning, which is why they were not included in Go North East's fleet news this morning.

The fleet number to registration allocation for these are as follows:
- 5397 (NK15 ENJ)
- 5401 (NK15 ENO)
- 5409 (NK15 ENY)

5397 is green and to be allocated to Stanley Depot. 5401 and 5409 are the two corporate liveried spares - the former will be allocated to Stanley and the latter will be allocated to Chester-le-Street.

(24 Mar 2015, 4:01 pm)Michael wrote Least the spare won't be so many fleet numbers on for each depot... 

(24 Mar 2015, 4:03 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Can't wait for these Lime (possible name change!) Streetlites to enter service, I can almost smell the freshness of the new bus smell! Mmmpphhh!

Will have to hurry to get photos of these Lime B10BLEs still in service, I imagine they've got no more than a fortnight to a month left! Feel like I've neglected them photo-wise, may as well try and get as many photos as I can.

I'm going to guess these Streetlites will enter service on a Sunday on the Lime routes? Seeing as many new vehicles seem to do so?

(24 Mar 2015, 4:05 pm)Dan wrote The spare for each depot comes after the branded examples.

5391 - 5394: X66 Blue
5395 - 5400: 8/78 Green Stanley
5401: Spare Red Stanley
5402 - 5408: 8/78 Green Chester
5409: Spare Red Chester

So is the branding changing much?

We'll find out next month what is to come for the 8/78.

GNE should use the space at the back to advertise the Lime savers (not sure if both day and weekly tickets?),same as the front.
