Would love to know the excuse behind that one (beside we can't plan properly for fireworks or match day traffic)

(05 Nov 2016, 8:50 pm)Crusader wrote Surely you've just answered your own question there - Saltwell Fireworks and match day traffic. How would you like GNE to plan for it? It isn't really practical to have a different timetable for each special event happening otherwise there would be a different schedule every day of the year

(05 Nov 2016, 9:32 am)Dan wrote It will be allocated to service 238 for the time being.


Corporate liveried Scania L94s. The new service 9 has a PVR of 6 and should be allocated the existing corporate liveried Scania L94 at Deptford (4936, 4937, 4945, 4946, 4954, 4955) or the Scania L94s joining the fleet this weekend all being well (4961, 4962, 4963, 4964). Service 38 should also be allocated one of these Scania L94s.

Other services at Deptford which are allocated Scania L94s are:

Service 39 - 4969, 4976, 4990, 4991, 4992, 5213, 5213.
Service X35 - 5204 - 5209, 5211

The above Scania L94s are all Euro 5 and hence should be covered by 4989, 5214 or 5215 in the event that any branded vehicle is VOR.


Only two spares for service 1, but Percy Main are only allocated two dedicated spares for the Coaster at present anyway? So no difference there.

The spares for Blue Arrow 11 will become Volvo B7RLEs - from Sunday, two of these are now spare on weekdays. So, again, it's no different to the present situation (as 4963 and 4964 are the only spares for the Blue Arrow 11 at the moment).

(05 Nov 2016, 9:01 pm)Ambassador wrote You'd think but thus isnt a one off. It's all the time, not just tonight, From now to January the already massively unreliable 21 will be even more so unreliable.

Turn around buses at gateshead, direct passengers to specific F1 services 

They need to increase the 21 pvr, invest more in passenger support, they cannot maintain a fictional 7 min frequency , on a counter more dirty unreliable B7s aren't acceptable to passengers 

They've a near monopoly on Durham Rd and they act like it,

(06 Nov 2016, 10:58 am)Dan wrote They remain allocated to scholars / Misc Works services - which no longer interwork with service 9.

(06 Nov 2016, 11:02 am)Michael wrote They'll be on the 39 alot at peak times for the extra runs, since they've moved over from Washington to Deptford... i wish the passengers - good luck.

(06 Nov 2016, 2:46 pm)Dan wrote The fleet lists have been updated too - some people would have you believe that our fleet lists aren't very good and can't be relied upon for information... I beg to differ - they're update to the hour!

I blame the merger to the new news system for that one slipping through the net - it's now been sorted!
