(16 May 2019, 4:38 pm)omnicity4659 But this isn't the first time this has happened though, the Tyne Valley Ten also had the equipment disabled for a very long time.

As for the buses transferring between depots, timetables and various other things, there's multiple people involved, including external agencies, I don't see how this can affect a sole person?

I'm involved in updating a lot of AV equipment across the country and I haven't had to have the equipment turned off during a transition...

You must have more time than most people who work in the bus industry - perhaps you should help Arriva and Go North East out with their A/V systems?!  Big Grin

Glad we are finally get Omnicities at Deptford though.

Yeah, new PVR will be 16 though

 
Maybe the 3 Enviro 400's are to join the coaster?

E400s going on a route with a PVR of 3x. That'll either be the 15/15A, X30 or 327.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Michael - 16 May 2019

(16 May 2019, 10:22 am)Kuyoyo And as a result, we have our first look at ‘Little Coasters’

I really like that.

I think the X30... is there definitely only 3 been ordered?

Little Coasters also includes the current indiGo routes.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Michael - 16 May 2019

I would imagine the 35 is getting the Omnicities from the 11 this weekend, well all 12? 

But i thought the Scania's couldn't go until June?

(16 May 2019, 4:31 pm)Dan If I was deaf or blind, I'd hope that an audio/visual aid wouldn't be incorrect, which of course is the alternative if everything cannot be set up in time. Arriva North East tend to go for that option I have found, which I personally don't think is the best option for passengers who are visually impaired.

It is of course just a temporary solution... With over 50 buses transferring between depots this weekend, via points making a return to the destination displays, as well as timetables making a comeback (and lots of other things going on too), I'm sure you'll appreciate something has to give. Dodgy

Appreciate theres a lot going on, but does the Cobalt & Coast need its NSAs disabled just because they say Cobalt Clipper, even though several of the fleet are still branded as Cobalt Clippers?



While the Angel21 is having its NSA's updated to say St Mary's Place(?) instead of Blackett St, could Newgate Street-Wilkinsons not be changed to Newgate Street-Maldron Hotel?  Wink I've always also wondered why the following stop has been named High Level Bridge North, instead of something like Saint Nicholas Street - Castle Keep  Huh

The new announcements on the refurbished Volvo B9 have not been tested yet and several audio recordings are missing - they weren't intended to be live in the first place.

Yep only 3 ordered, never know if they prove their worth on the route they are going on and the E200s on whatever route they are for, we might see more of these types in future orders.

I would of called it Coaster Connect,but either way im greatful to see the back of indigo over here,glad to see GNE are still giving routes a bit of character

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Mark1 - 16 May 2019

What different route will the new 20A from Durham take compared to the 20?


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Michael - 16 May 2019

(16 May 2019, 8:47 pm)Mark1 What different route will the new 20A from Durham take compared to the 20?

20A is getting withdrawn


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2019 - Mark1 - 16 May 2019

On the new timetable there's 2 departures from Durham on an evening.

I like how it is basically the old timetable but just looks a whole lot more modern
The best part is everything is vector based now so no matter how far you zoom in everything is clear, including the livery. Time to have some fun in Photoshop!
