It is currently at Saltmeadows Road Depot having a manual ramp fitted and should also gain the seats from another recently withdrawn MPD which has already been re-trimmed, prior to PSV test next week.

As 628? (newly branded solo) on 700.

I believe 4897 will be selected for withdrawal instead.

4922, which was also noted as having been withdrawn, was reinstated yesterday (allocated to services 67/69).

gtom Wrote: wroteWas at a presentation this morning in regards to the new Emergency Care Centre at the QE in Gateshead.

One tidbit was that they are in advanced negotiations with Go Ahead to bring the bus services onto site once the centre opens in October/November. Discussions have been positive so far.

(for anyone wondering there's obviously going to be a brand new entrance and route built as at present you couldn't get a bus onsite)

Does anyone know what happened to this story from March/April 14? The new Emergency Care unit has been there a while now and there ain't no buses parking up outside.

No hope you'd get anything bigger than a Solo into the QE. Don't think you really need it, it's 5 minutes very slow walking from entrance to bus stop. (for the 93/94 /67/89/69) Admittedly the Old Durham Road stops, particularly northbound are a hike
