. It was just something i noticed that's all as i very rarely see it anyway with my bus being timed to come 5 minutes earlier.

(10 Jun 2015, 4:50 pm)Michael wrote Don't think so, no point in dropping it from the brand after doing changes then putting back as East Durham when it gets new buses, they might of well kept it as East Durham now.
Yet still has the changes from 26 January 2015 for the 38................. -.-
(10 Jun 2015, 4:56 pm)Michael wrote I like the current East Durham brand, i hope they don't drop it...
(10 Jun 2015, 4:55 pm)cbma06 wrote The East Durham allocation at peterlee is 14 buses and theres 14 solos coming, so no new solos for service 238 unless GNE paints up some of the solos at Deptford.
(10 Jun 2015, 5:05 pm)cbma06 wrote What ever the east durham brand is going to be, I was hoping that the X35 could be incorporated into the brand, just like the Tynedale Links with the Tynedale express.
(10 Jun 2015, 4:59 pm)cbma06 wrote if their do keep the brand, then the brand needs refreshing as its so bland and doesn't look good. traveling along rural roads doesn't keep the bus clean especially in bright yellow colour.
(10 Jun 2015, 5:06 pm)Tom wrote Good idea. Pink Panther/Cats Fast?
The Pink Panther brand could have a similar design to the Cats Fast?
(08 Jun 2015, 5:45 pm)Michael wrote Like how 6125 6127 6128 has entered service but nothing as being withdrawn, more of a chance to get Olympican still!
Are they just keeping all the buses in service because of repaints etc?
(10 Jun 2015, 5:08 pm)Dan wrote Stanley's Dennis Trident/East Lancs Lolyne 3803 (V803 EBR) was withdrawn without replacement in April, so one of the Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka vehicles has replaced this vehicle. It remains parked up at Stanley Depot, owing to engine failure.
The entry into service of two further Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka vehicles has also allowed for the withdrawal of Dennis Trident/East Lancs Lolynes 3801 (V801 EBR) and 3802 (V802 EBR), which are now awaiting disposal at Saltmeadows Road.
(10 Jun 2015, 5:08 pm)cbma06 wrote on GNE allocation theres 14 mpds in Peterlee depot.
(10 Jun 2015, 5:10 pm)Robert wrote That doesn't mean the PVR of the services is 14. The PVR of the Venture services is only 10 but there are 12 SRs meaning that there are 2 spares. Reduces the chances of allocating a full sized vehicle
(10 Jun 2015, 5:16 pm)Robert wrote According to the allocation thread on this forum, the PVR of the East Durham services is indeed 12.
(10 Jun 2015, 5:33 pm)cbma06 wrote the East Durham allocation to peterlee depot is 14 in total plus the WTX citarios, wonder how long would it take to see one of the spare solos doing a X7 journey.
(10 Jun 2015, 8:22 pm)thetravelman wrote Daft Question but what does PVR stand for?
I understand what it means ie: number of vehicles required to carry out a route to timetable.
Reading the threads about the new Solos coming to East Durham, don't think I like the idea of a Dark Pink bus, think they could of used a better colour.... Obviously I can't comment to much until I've seen one, however I don't like the idea and I think it sounds a bit Tacky!
Cheers!
