It's on the 1 today and is the 0914 from Middlesbrough (the one that gets 29 minutes in Middlesbrough)

My guess is he probably had his knuckles wrapped by the company for publishing photographs before Go North East themselves had made their own announcements, so you have to be very careful in these situations.

(06 Apr 2016, 2:58 pm)Peppermint Pete wrote Stagecoach North East are certainly receiving New vehicles, but it is up to Stagecoach North East’s own management to announce these at a time of their own choosing. I seem to recall that a young chap (called Dan ?) now working for Go North East posting images of some of their new vehicles before Go North East themselves had held a formal launch/unveiling.

It was interesting to note that shortly afterwards the photos disappeared & he went off the radar for a few days. My guess is he probably had his knuckles wrapped by the company for publishing photographs before Go North East themselves had made their own announcements, so you have to be very careful in these situations.

(06 Apr 2016, 4:46 pm)Adrian wrote I seem to recall that an old chap (called Dicky?), that would regularly post plagiarised Stagecoach fleet cards as his own work, in the form of a PDF document. As impressive as skills in creating embossed shapes and bold italic fonts are, they're probably best kept to an MS Publisher for beginners evening class.

Unfortunately Dicky appeared to be deeply offended by the (quite apt!) 'dick by name - dick by nature' comparisons from certain members, that he threw his toys out the pram, and took a hiatus from the North East Buses forum. 

It's my guess that he used his hiatus to count HIS many CONTACTS over and over. Fortunately for him, it's resulted in acquiring the ability to count to five in the process, and without using any fingers or toes. A great day all round.


I agree, but that's what you get from a pointless poster.
