One of the Crusader Mercs was involved in a rtc the other day, I imagine anything and everything will be covering over the next few days.

I saw it when passing Saltmeadows today, didn't think to take note.

It has something to do with the local Council and the Lindisfarne Gospels.

The speed these two fellas are going (one had a roller and tub of paint - the other was standing with the paper/plans) the Gospels will have been, gone, come back and gone again before they're finished!

RE: Go North East - Dan - 10 Jul 2013

Lolyne 3858 is reported to have lost (or is in the process of losing) its Vodafone advert.
I'd assume this is all down to the amount of VOR time 3858 has had, rather than the time being up for these ads to depart all buses within the fleet.

5337 is also said to have returned from Gateshead to Percy Main. Either sister 5336 or 5337 herself will return to Gateshead prior to the end of this month for the upcoming network changes to "Crusader" 27.


RE: Go North East - CatsFast101 - 10 Jul 2013

Does the current 24 always run with at least one decker? As its new timetable pictures one. What's the reason for this? Does it interwork with scholars or?

Also are we any clearer on what happening with the coaster omnicitys, is it a rebrand or why are they going blue?


RE: Go North East - BJ10VUS - 10 Jul 2013

(10 Jul 2013, 11:26 am)Liam wrote 5262 has returned to Percy Main with her new blue repaint.

The colour LED displays on some of the current 'Coaster' vehicles also have changed the number 1 to blue instead of the current green-ish colour.


RE: Go North East - Adrian - 10 Jul 2013

One of the DFDS branded Tridents was out on the 1 today. Believe it was 3867 but someone may want to correct me there.

It sure was 3867! A ''Centurion'' renown is also working the 1 this afternoon.


RE: Go North East - Dan - 10 Jul 2013

Bishop 5213 is out on the X35 to Hartlepool.

The very latest pics of the New Depot and I have to say it coming along very well, I even think it may open earlier than expected, because it looks like they are about ready to tarmac the space over back of the Depot, which is massive piece of space I must. also there is quite a bit of space out to the front of the Depot also.

Quite I missed those odd workings on the 1, I decided to stay away from Gateshead today as I'm there far to much.

Cobolt connect on 9 heading jarrow way now, curretly just passed wheatchef
Edit: northen omicity about to leave Sunderland town centre...didnt see number was on bus and didnt catch it untill last minute


RE: Go North East - Malarkey - 10 Jul 2013

Yeah that is true, it'll be a nightmare transferring all those buses over to the new depot, although saying that if its finished in say late November - Early December, then GNE could transfer buses over on XMAS EVE after services have finished, XMAS DAY if staff are will to come in and helf transfer them over for a few hours or on New Years EVE/DAY. Yes I know I am jumping to conclusions, but from what I have seen today I think that it's possible and logical doing it that way.

2 for W5 and 2 for W6. I don't believe they interwork, apart from the two early morning journeys between Galleries and Concord run as W5, then run the rest of the day as the W6.

Total PVR of 4 and no they don't interwork at all, although they could potentially, it would be pointless as they follow the same route pretty much with one terminating at Barmston Court and the other at Brady Square

new mercedes buses (similar to 2C/LASER ETC) will be ran on Metrolink M1 and by Next year Fab56, Prince Bishops, Fast Cats buses will also be changed to Mercedes Benz buses

No idea who it is, but they have there information wrong regarding Prince Bishops and FAB56, Which as we know are getting Geminis before the year is out. The interesting one in this comment is regarding the Fast Cats X35 Getting Citaros.

The only thing I can think of is the Cobalt Clipper Citaros minus one for Crusader move over once if true Geminis come in to replace the Omnicities/Citaros


RE: Go North East - Dan - 10 Jul 2013

Argh, I'm repeating myself here because this has been posted on multiple platforms.

Re: 20/56: Although heavily hinted at, nothing is concrete until an order is made. An order has not been made yet, so we don't know if said rumours are true regarding these vehicles.


RE: Go North East - Malarkey - 10 Jul 2013

I know nothing is confirmed yet. But has been rumoured for months on end now without confirmation, Remember that piece of paper that was posted on facebook with the orders and number of buses ordered and i'm pretty sure Geminis for 20/56 were on it along with the Citaros for M1 and Streetlites for the 53/54 and 60.

As for the Fast Cats and Cobalt Clipper i'm doubtful on whether those rumours are true or not.

I wrote that list out. A piece of paper from WH Smiths and a pen from Argos - sorted ;p

No Geminis were on the piece of paper you refer to.

Vodafone campaign was out of date from December 2012 the 20th if my memory is correct. Although Vodafone will not be paying for these adverts now its better for via-com just to leave them on and see if another all over wrap it booked. Then its just a strip and repost instead of a repaint.

RE: Go North East - CatsFast101 - 11 Jul 2013

I wonder wether the Doxford Clipper changes could be to revert the changes made recently to offer an every 15 minute service across the whole route.
