I hope so. I may use the services more frequent.

Are you using the Coaster Omnicity's more frequently since it was fitted with WiFi?

(22 Dec 2015, 4:56 pm)Jimmi wrote Are you using the Coaster Omnicity's more frequently since it was fitted with WiFi?

Am I hell! I've used it once, and that was a horrid journey. From now on I will actually refuse to use services 1/1A (Or any other Omnicity allocated services) unless a bus I like is allocated, ir they get upgraded.

i think there should next be wifi on Crusader citaros including the red spare 5332

I'd agree and say that the Crusader should get wifi over the Quaylink.

With the Quaylink having newer buses, they may fit 8310/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/28/29/30/31/32/33/34/35/36/37/38 with wifi, then in the next 18 months buy new buses for the 27.

Considering that the Citaro's currently used on the 27 have fairly recently been repainted and the branding has been given a refresh, I think they'll be staying on the 27 for a fair few more years yet.

Although I agree Citaros suit the 27 well, I think in the not so distant future, they may get replaced.

Wasn't their only 2 or three which actually got repainted though? iirc, the 08 reg ones, 5310-19, only got rebranded.

Thats what else the 08 citaros on the crusader need...a repaint. Always got me as to why only the 10 reg ones were repainted.

Just a guess - but warranty job at 5 years old perhaps?

Nothing for up here - closer would be the B5TL for Transdev Harrogate.

I think the Streetdecks, Solo Srs, Streetlites and any other buses due for the company will probably arrive in the new year.

(22 Dec 2015, 9:40 pm)Davie wrote I think the Streetdecks, Solo Srs, Streetlites and any other buses due for the company will probably arrive in the new year.

The Solo's I've heard are arriving in March.

Mind Davie, you done well with that predication.....there is less than 10 days left of this year!

It would be nice if some could arrive and enter service before March. Would be nice for some proper buses to have some 65 registrations in the fleet and not just the coaches.

I agree, for some reason I like the 65 on a number plate......lets hope!

Sorry if this has been asked already, but where are the Solos going, or is it a top secret "wait and see"?

(22 Dec 2015, 10:02 pm)BJ10VUS wrote Sorry if this has been asked already, but where are the Solos going, or is it a top secret "wait and see"?

They are going to Hexham and Percy Main for the Tynedale and North Tyne Links networks.

Thanks for the information - didn't realise it was that easy to find, sorry!

No probs, don't need to say sorry, i just didn't want to spam the page and overload you with info .

3859 broke down at Ashington Bus Station on Monday afternoon at about 1345 operating a 434. 6023 replaced it, of which had no working blinds.

Alpha arrived at 1515 and the stand was clear for 1600.

6023 blinds havnt been updated i dont think. Maybe dan can confirm

(23 Dec 2015, 8:40 am)dannygee wrote 6023 blinds havnt been updated i dont think. Maybe dan can confirm

I spotted 6023 operating service 9 last week and the route number wasn't in Arial font which means that the depot haven't updated it (which in turn means that the 434 destination won't be programmed in that bus).

Noticed a small typo that may want correcting on the 5 timetable:
http://www.simplygo.com/download/publication/54610.14

When it says 'For other buses between South Shields, Whitleas Way and Jarrow Town Centre...' (York Avenue in this instance) it says service 26 instead of 27.

does anyone know if 5151 and 5158 are going to be DDA modified or are they going to be scrapped
