Cheers, looks like 547 will be sticking to shuttle work for the time being... 

Noted that...GNE start running the T1/2 from tomorrow....any idea on the timetable?

Wonder what caused that to happen?

One for Dan and Citaro here. On Boxing Day, how do the NSA's work on the 309 due to the fact that serves some of the 308's route as well as it's own? Does it just skip straight to Battle Hill when it gets detected on the GPS, just show visual only on the sections of the 308 (could just be the GNE logo) or does it have no NSA's and just has the GNE logo? I know the destys will be different in terms of the scrolling (Billy Mill etc rather than New York / Cobalt).

4938 has been repainted into a dark green base livery.

Ye, the 434 has being added to them for this weeks changes along with a few others - such as the last 9 from Sunderland - its being changed from Tyne Tunnel to Percy Main. 

Dan will know full details. =)

I know Dan knows

5165 is on the 17 today! Thought that one was withdrawn a while a go.

(05 Oct 2015, 12:21 pm)Diamond One wrote I know Dan knows

So does others but i was just saying to GMitchelhill that Dan will know the details, if he wanted more information of the changes.

Oh noes, i thought we got rid of them, hopefully its only in service for today haha

Yeah, was on the 9 on Saturday.

434/448 timetables now available.

Tynedale links? Strange...

(05 Oct 2015, 2:54 pm)S813 FVK wrote Tynedale links? Strange...

Bedlington Ashington to Linton too.

Would it not be possible for printed ones to include 'Stand C' at Ashington? Just because some passengers will wait at 'D' (like per Arriva 34) and miss their bus.

Michael has missed that 4896 is currently on loan to Washington from Deptford

=0, it didn't appear on the fleet changes, it just said.. it didn't transfer to Deptford. Good spot though, i didn't check the news

Haha. Must have checked the news page for on bere to work out that 4938 had been repainted

Loans dont tend to get noted on the official GNE fleet documents.

It seems to of gone to Deptford and straight to Washington according the fleet list on here  but on the GNE allocation it's still at Riverside... however a few transfers have being missed this week - this should be sorted in next weeks.

Lolyne 3873 (W183 SCU) has broken down. The 16:55 #11 from Newcastle to Blackhall Mill may be delayed as a result.

They will say next stop until it picks up its normal route.  The 309 route is still in the programme so it will think it is a normal route, however when it goes 'off route' it will not do anything until the next proper bus stop is detected.  It is too time consuming to change them just for one day.

(05 Oct 2015, 12:12 pm)GMitchelhill wrote Did Percy Mains blinds get done over the weekend?

Yes, to bring them in line with the profiling we are rolling out across GNE along with the standard Arial font for the numbers and the white destination numbers on the vehicles with a colour route number panel.  Noticed the 309 on my way home tonight, certainly different from the blue panel behind the numbers.

It certainly isn't a nice bus like. Still better than an Omnicity if you ask me.
