I can confirm that each "X66" branded vehicle features a different coloured gnome on the front.

4845 (R845 PRG) was not present at Saltmeadows Road today so has presumably been sold, but this will be confirmed in Go North East's fleet news next week. 4950-52 and 8293 are still in storage at Saltmeadows.

Today's arrivals included the first two green Streetlites which are to be allocated to Chester-le-Street for services 8/78. These are 5402 (NK15 ENP) and 5405 (NK15 ENU).

Please can someone shed some light on this if they know any more? I'm going to get a few shots of it on Good Friday.

(01 Apr 2015, 5:15 am)Dan wrote I believe the LEDs will be donated to 4954 at Deptford, as it's the only vehicle allocated to the "Prince Bishops" services without LEDs.

Red bus with Laser in black and the routes on the side in white.......

Also what is currently on the X66 again, was it a Citaro and 2 B10's?

(01 Apr 2015, 7:52 am)Dan wrote Four brand new Euro 6 Mercedes Citaros have arrived at Saltmeadows. They will be allocated to "Wear Tees Xpress" service X7 at Peterlee Depot.

A tricky one which could be debated either way. 

(01 Apr 2015, 12:10 pm)Robert wrote I'd personally say that since the trap was laid before midday, anybody who falls into it regardless of the day counts. What about anybody else?

Tomorrow I'll need to get the 19 from Cramlington to Bedlington (and back) any idea on what ticket I'm best off with? Cheers ? 

Was just wondering whether it would be better off to buy a return or day ticket
