Historical GNE / Northern General fleet? - GNE6333 - 04 Aug 2023

Hi everyone, first post on this forum.

I've been working on creating a full list of buses in the Northern General / Go Northern / Go North East (and associated sub-companies) since the current numbering system came into place in the mid-1970's.  I think I have the majority of the fleet in my list already, but there are still rather a lot of gaps - especially amongst older vehicles and minibuses, which I have found hard to research, so I thought it might be possible to post it on here, as I am sure a lot of you will be much more knowledgeable than me on the fleet.  Any comments or help with filling in the blanks would be much appreciated.  The list can be found here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pshz6wJNPvRL4LirPXNZIHzErLoT7G1FtmDZg-pc_20/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much, that is incredibly helpful!

RE: Historical GNE / Northern General fleet? - Ianthegoon - 04 Aug 2023

I've been trying to research a similar list.

My attempt isn't available to me right now, but I'll have a look on Monday and see whether I can fill any gaps. Mind you, I suspect that, with similar research resources available (google the internet!) we may well have the same gaps!

RE: Historical GNE / Northern General fleet? - wibblejunior - 05 Aug 2023

There's quite a lot of old GNE fleet lists in the Bygone Era section if that helps.

RE: Historical GNE / Northern General fleet? - stagecoachbusdepot - 05 Aug 2023

I've got fleetlists going back to the 70s, if you can share an editable version I can probably fill in a fair number of the gaps but it'll take a while

Probably the most relevant thread. https://www.facebook.com/groups/classicnewcastle/permalink/7222369784481416/

Mention of wingmirrors too!

Thanks a lot!
My main interest is pre-1983 NGT buses, this is what I have for the number series from 1975. Have you tried Bus Lists on the Web?

Think the comments speak for themselves.

It seems there were wing mirror issues back in the day too. 
But always kept some spare at handy locations.
