Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018
Angel 6318 doesn’t appear to have had its NSA silencer update to stop it announcing the route and destination while the doors are open - as it is repeating it again on door closure

6902 and 6914 were both in use at Deptford today because the Prince Bishops Streetlites are all having new destination controllers fitted.

Ten done today, more to follow next week. 6914 was used on the Prince Bishops, but a second Streetlite (which had been VOR in the morning) became available, so 6902 was used on service 56 instead of service 20, following a breakdown.

6920 also in use at Deptford today, albeit just as a staff shuttle van.

Also, why wouldn't a driver withdraw an expired pass off a customer? It's no use to them anymore, it stops them trying to use it again, and we get a reward!

The pulsars on arriva's 22/24 have a similar arrangement. Great when you've got lots of shopping, mobility aids or an xxl arse.

Sure it’s still knocking about, think it did night 309s last night but could’ve been mixed up with 6104

Think you may have mixed it up with 6104.

6103 has been VOR since the end of June - it's currently at Volvo (Crowther Industrial Estate, Washington) having some work done to its engine.
