Personally think it is quite obvious that any upcoming investment in the fleet will be orientated around getting the B10s Withdrawn by January 1st 2016, so therefore I would not rule out the possibility of the Diamond & Highwayman receiving New Vehicles in the coming months to therefore replace older vehicles in the fleet, as how else are you going to Withdraw them if you dont invest and upgrade other services first.

In Mexico at the moment- however, I was wondering if there's been any news on the 61 branding?

If, as I hope, the Diamond brand is going to be kept for  the Durham to Stanley bit at least, if the survey suggestions are implemented (already decided before survey??), then what's going to run the rump of the 43/44 Stanley to Newcastle and the increased X43? If Citaros there'll be one or two Diamond vehicles spare to be allocated elsewhere. If something else then there'll be quite a few Citaros free.

I don't see how mentioning a colour in bold in a post can mean something. All these ideas about the connections4 spare for nowt i think.

Guessing that will be 4901 to 4925 which get DDA Modifications, as 4896 to 4900 are all Euro 2 Rated so they will be Withdrawn as I doubt GNE would pay for DDA & Emninox Mods for those Vehicles as it would cost a fortune.

(12 Aug 2015, 6:31 pm)S813 FVK wrote A new brand design and repaint should be on the way (or at least the latter) as 5328/9/30 have all been repainted. Nowt much to tease about really (as if there is a new look brand, they certainly can't get their hands on the design just yet).
