Well then you were obviously seeing things because I don't think a bus can be repainted and branded over a night...

(21 Mar 2014, 3:41 pm)Tom 3874 has been on the NTL network today, so not sure if it's transferred to Percy Main as a result of the ex-WTX renowns at Chester-le-Street?
That's correct, as I suggested earlier.

5255 branded for the 50 now; heading to Durham 15:54 departure from Chester if anyone wants a snap, it looks magnificent in service and has a family ticket advertisement on the rear for £11.50.

Probably 3962.

Really? I thought only 5259 had been branded, but I suppose they could have just nipped her in and out and stuck the vinyls on.

Corgi have announced that GNE's Angel will become a model, it will come in 2 models, 1 to Newcastle and 1 to Durham...
Wright Eclipse Gemini 2, Go Ahead Northern Angel of the North, 21 Newcastle via Chester-le-Street - http://www.corgi.co.uk/shop/corgi-direct/corgi-catalogue-july-december-2014/the-original-omnibus/om46505a-wright-eclipse-gemini-2-go-ahead-northern-angel-of-the-north-21-newcastle-via-chester-le-street/
And...

I hope they use two serial numbers, I was disapointed when they did the OK1s and both were 5229. It looks like 6067 in the images on the link, but perhaps they could do that for Newcastle and have another, perhaps 6069 going to Durham? Those two are the ones I seem to get most often (I use the 21 each morning for transport, the 8:10 from Chester Black Horse every day, it literally uses anything, it used to have 3965 and 3962 all the time, but now gets a mix of them, Presidents, Hybrids and very rarely, Lolynes and when it isn't on 844 duties or during the holidays, 3983.)

The site's fleet list has been updated as follows:
- 5161/64/66 repainted into Go North East's corporate livery.
- Lolyne 3874 has been transferred to Percy Main (ignore my earlier mistake when I accidentally typed 'Vyking'! The posts which followed truly baffled me when I read them, hence why I didn't reply at the time).
- President 6008 has been transferred to Deptford.
- Renowns 4906-08 have been transferred to Chester-le-Street
- Renown 4845 has returned to Deptford.
- Following sale, Olympians 3811/20/27 have been removed from the fleetlist, and so have 8226/39/41 too.
- Versas 8295/97 have been branded "South Tyne".
- OmniCitys 5255/59 have been branded "Whey Aye Five 0".
Any other updates which have occurred in the past fortnight which don't appear above had already been updated.

some should be branded tonight for South Tyne thus why Cadet 8251 was on and 2 Solars that leaves 6 to be done got most photos on my turf i thought 4908 was the only one at Chester-le-Street while the other 3 are Stanley could be wrong

4906, 4907 and 4908 have all been transferred to Chester-le-Street, although it's easy to make the mistake of them being at Stanley given that those vehicles have been seen on the "Lime". The location of 4909 has not yet been established (and I've therefore left it as Deptford on the site's fleet list).
One Solar is always allocated to "South Tyne" services 88/88A due to the interworking nature with scholars. However, it's clear that two Versas were absent today - whether this was for branding or for maintenance purposes, we do not know.

We only know of 2 been branded so that's quite obvious. Anyway, a Solar and a Cadet as suggested by Dan may of been standing in for Versas getting branded? To be honest I still think the south tyne livery looked better on the Cadets. The versas just look bare imo.
RE: Go North East - Latest - Diamond One - 22 Mar 2014
8294 is the 3rd to be branded for 88/88A 3942 is on 27 along with 3964 and a Quaylink has made it onto 27X
RE: Paint Shop/Branding - Diamond One - 22 Mar 2014
(21 Mar 2014, 12:55 am)Acky81 Are 39s next
probs but 1st 5210 will probs be next due to the SPD 8228 coming off then Versas but am planning a trip down to Park Lane to inspect
RE: Go North East - Latest - S813 FVK - 23 Mar 2014
I have always wondered. Does the Citylink require a PVR of 12 or 14? I ask this because there were 14 of the Rigid and Articulated Citaros when they were on the route but there is only 12 branded Versas so im assuming 2 of the 14 were branded spares and 5389 and 5390 have taken its place.
RE: Go North East - Latest - Diamond One - 23 Mar 2014

Not for a while yet if it's a bi-monthly news report!
Our fortnightly update will be done at some point today, I just need to upload some more photos to Flickr first - but I'm going out for an hour or two for now. Will post links on the apt thread when it's up.
