(21 Jan 2015, 9:51 pm)MurdnunoC With or without bus stops attached?
Next to bus stops but not actual flags on a lamppost, it's literally a sticker on the bottom of some lampposts with a flag on a pole too at the stop, think there is still a few round Aycliffe Ind Estate on the 5/5A route.

(21 Jan 2015, 10:11 pm)Malarkey The Telephone Number on the Timetable for DCC was 0300 268524, And the Timetable was dated as of 26/1/2015 obviously been put in ahead of Service Changes so I would therefore assume that the Number is correct.
The telephone number on the Go Wear bus stop sign is 0870 608 2 608

(21 Jan 2015, 10:32 pm)G-CPTN The telephone number on the Go Wear bus stop sign is 0870 608 2 608That number is for Traveline according to Google, which is why I looked at the Timetable to find the one for DCC which is the 0300 Number I noted in my previous post.

(21 Jan 2015, 10:22 pm)citaro5284 No, the PVR remains the same at 10.So why therefore put 5332 in Blaydon Racers Livery then, as that means the PVR is now 11.

Just because its going red doesnt mean its gonna be allocated to Blaydon racers... it should become a spare... for where i do not know

As its a branded Blaydon Racers for services 49, 49B and 49C, it is a branded spare for those services and will without a shadow of a doubt will appear on other services.

It was but it exited the paint shop branded unexpectedly as Blaydon Racers. You're not going mad

He needs support to help make people aware of the FPF and their antics.

(21 Jan 2015, 9:22 pm)MurdnunoC Andreos doesn't want this battle.
See here.
Ah the FPF are continuing, don't you worry your little heads about that.
I will maybe still continue to join in with the posts about the FPF, but it can get a little annoying to see a passionate, honest campaign - borne out of frustration at an inadequate transport system, mentioned on a daily basis.
Maybe I need an Alistair Campbell type spin doctor to assist, who knows.
The empty pop bottles will continue to be discarded across vehicles. Newspapers will be scrumpled up and old people will continue to pretend to be confused with the pass readers.
One day, the people will Fencehouses will have a bus service they can be proud of.

(21 Jan 2015, 7:35 am)Dan Well we know the two purple Versas won't be used on the X66, given that citaro5284 has previously said that the articulated Mercedes Citaros are to be (temporarily) replaced by four corporate liveried vehicles in the existing fleet...
The S1 service is not commercially operated. It is ran under contract to intu, and as 8266 (along with 8261 - 8265) has recently been fitted with Euro 5 Eminox modifications, there would be no difference (other than a few seats) between allocating 8266 and a Versa, so I can't really see why they'd upgrade the S1?
Stanley has 4 red Omnicities 5250, 5253, 5254 & 5273.
Percy Main has 4 red Omnicities 5247, 5248, 5249 & 5274.
Washington has 4 red Scania 4961, 4962, 4963 & 4964.
Let the guessing begin !!!!

All the omnicities are required at that depot as they are the main allocations for routes. The 4 buses will probably be riverside based.

Or the Citaros that will be left after the Sunderland changes?

Would make sense. But i say all omnicities are required, would they be much use anyway? they only have approx. 38 seats anyway? (im using tapatalk here so i am probably very wrong).

The ones from Deptford, probs not, they're going on the 61.

They have more than a Citaro - a Omnicity had 41 seats, while a Citaro has 40.

Oh yeah lol - I forgot
In that case, the two Versas could go to Washington, as well as a Cadet, to replace the four Solars to Riverside.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2015 - Dan - 22 Jan 2015
Scania 4974 appears to have expired at the Wheatsheaf on a Newcastle bound X36.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2015 - Dan - 22 Jan 2015
Merc 5327 is back at Deptford following repaint. Unsure whether it's on Silver Arrows or Laser today, but two (one being 5326) are on the 2A/2C while the other is on 35s.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2015 - tyresmoke - 22 Jan 2015
The fact 5332 has been branded for Blaydon Racers may suggest that another one (worst looking one?) will be treated to a repaint and used on X66 as a bendy replacement? Not sure where you would get 3 others from though
