RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016 - Rapidsnap - 04 May 2016 Around 2002 there used to be 10 buses available for DFDS work. This has reduced over the years as the sailings have reduced to once a day. But the minimum requirement is 2, but more often or not can involve many buses on busy weekends especially those leading to Xmas.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016 - S813 FVK - 05 May 2016 Looks like all Fast Cats solars are being debranded - that's 5206 and 5209 done. Talking of 5206, I saw it leading a convoy with 5333 last Friday evening too, they were both crossing the flyover on the A19 NIS heading north.

I believe all have had the route details removed... A large number had missing branding anyway (5206 has had very little branding for months as the bodywork was given a tidy up). RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016 - South Tyne Lad - 05 May 2016 Looks like 8295 is going to be a VOR for another few days, Withdrawn from the 88A this morning due to a broken emission cap, Which has been broken for a few weeks but has only seemed to have been noticed now. Another one to look at is 8298, More of a Euro 1 B10M than a Euro 4 Cummins, And has the same smell as when my cars DPF was defective, Which when sat the back makes me queasy.

I think the silver/gold helm against the blue will look nice RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016 - Tom - 05 May 2016 (05 May 2016, 5:22 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote 4968 isn't, One of the worst in the fleet In my opinion! The rest I agree with you though. Never been on that one - it seems it depends what batch they are as to how good they are, Tynedale Express and Loop are best by far though.

Wrights do not know what fleet numbers we are going to use. They use build numbers!

They use build numbers! Ah right!. Are GNE still on schedule with the first batch of Streetlites entering service this weekend or will it be the week after now? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016 - Dan - 05 May 2016 (05 May 2016, 6:01 pm)Michael wrote Ah right!. Probably early next week for them entering service now. A Streetlite has gone to Deptford for familiarisation but I doubt they will manage to get through all of Deptford's drivers within two days.

Cheers Dan, hopefully means by the time they enter service a few more is ready.
