(01 May 2019, 4:11 am)L469 YVK wrote The only reason I can see GNE ordering another vehicle would be to cover the Castles Express PVR increase. There would be 2x options as a result for the TVT (E400MMC more likely for Red Arrows)

Option 1:
- 16x Volvo B5TL to Riverside / Hexham for TVT. This would also include 3x additional spares on top to cover the TVT + TTX.

- 6084 transferred to Crook to make up additional PVR on Castles Express.

Option 2:
- 16x StreetDecks to Riverside / Hexham for TVT. This would also include 2x additional spares on top to cover TVT. 6084 remains at Riverside as TTX spare.

- 1x StreetDeck to Chester Le Street / Crook to make up additional PVR on Castles Express.

Panel damage?

Which vehicle did it get its radiator cover from?  
Still think it just looks like an odd donated panel.

(02 May 2019, 4:53 pm)Malarkey wrote I'd imagine DFDS would want to improve the quality of service for it's passengers that use the 327, I would say it long overdue given how long Go North East have used rather old buses on this service.

As for the radiator cover, all of the Omnidekka's with Go North East have the same style panels.

Special X56 service running non-stop between Newcastle Central Station and the Stadium of Light.
Frequent services from across the region to the Stadium of Light and extra buses after the concert to get you home.
