(22 Sep 2015, 11:12 am)Dan wrote Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4906 (W906 RBB) has returned to Riverside following DDA modifications and likewise 4911 (W411 SCU) and 4914 (X914 WGR) have returned to Percy Main.

As such, float/reserve Volvo B10BLEs 4897 and 4898 have transferred from Riverside to Deptford, which will allow the first of Deptford's allocated Volvo B10BLEs to go away for modifications. The former is on service 39 today while the latter is on service 38.


Not sure how many of you care about ancillary vehicles, but Washington Depot currently has Peugeot Partner NU64XLM from Northgate Vehicle Hire.

Only Deptford's left to do now?

(22 Sep 2015, 3:38 pm)Dan wrote Definitely not, haha...

(22 Sep 2015, 3:45 pm)S813 FVK wrote Quite a few more at Riverside plus Deptfords.

(22 Sep 2015, 3:54 pm)Dan wrote I'll be a little less vague than Robert... The Volvo B10BLEs which have yet to take a trip to Thornton Brothers for DDA-modifications are as follows:

Deptford - 4903, 4905, 4908, 4908, 4924, 4925
Percy Main - 4912, 4913
Riverside - 4896, 4903, 4907, 4917, 4923

Any dual-door Volvo B10BLEs which are destined to remain in the fleet beyond this year will also need to be modified. The dual-door Volvo B10BLEs currently in active service are:

Percy Main - 5151, 5152, 5153, 5154, 5155, 5156, 5157, 5158, 5159, 5166
Riverside - 5160, 5167, 5168, 5169, 5170, 5171

I believe two of Percy Main's examples have already been withdrawn, but are seeing use periodically as last resort reserves.

Didn't catch the reg number as I was on my driver training with Stanley Travel. Had it's engine cover open and had dumped a lot of what appeared to be water in the car park.

(09 Sep 2015, 11:44 am)Dan wrote Allocated fleet number 9107, this vehicle's demonstration period with Go North East has been extended and it will indeed see use on National Express work.

Keep an eye out for the Mega-express!
