(18 Jun 2015, 4:52 am)Dan wrote Yes - but there's all sorts that need to be done on buses before they are disposed of.

Go North East have various systems in place and the physical things on the buses for these systems will have to be removed.

(18 Jun 2015, 6:46 am)S813 FVK wrote It would be nice if Go North East could carry the 'famous people' names over into the new Quaylink network. Quite like the feature myself eventhough it is just vinyls on a bus.

(18 Jun 2015, 6:47 am)Davie wrote I agree it would be nice, sadly I can't see it happen, but stranger things have happened...

(18 Jun 2015, 6:49 am)S813 FVK wrote The only real problem i could see is how many names you can get to cover the full PVR and then also how many times you will have to repeat the names if you run out.

(18 Jun 2015, 2:48 pm)Diamond One wrote am about to do an upload to flickr should be on anytime today and question is which was the ominicity there in plain red sanded down is this 5238 going into the expected Toon Link livery?

I have just seen 4841 sidelined at Metrocentre due to a handbrake problem which arose on Shibdon Bank in Blaydon, I wondered if it has a serious mechanical fault would Go North East see it as viable to exert the money and resources fixing her, if she will be withdrawn soon? or is she not due for withdrawal yet?

(18 Jun 2015, 5:06 pm)Davie wrote My guess would be when all the Omnicities are ready

(18 Jun 2015, 5:14 pm)Sidthebusbabe wrote It's a shame they have to go, some of them (5148 especially) are fantastic buses.

(18 Jun 2015, 5:16 pm)Davie wrote My favorite was 5149 out of that batch, 4841 was also a decent bus. I agree It Is a shame
