Indeed. We've not done the dynamic 'line plan' for this one, as we have done with the Red Arrows and Connections4, but we've used the route map on the back of the bus to provide a static 'line plan' instead, which remains on the top of the screen at all times.

Mimics the usual style with the yellow header and footer and brand logo in the top left, but had a bit more fun with the design. Pretty basic but I think it works - although I'm a bit bias!

I noticed on one of your pictures Dan, that Sunderland Connect" branded 640 (NK62 DWY) is at SM.... is it there for repairs or a repaint?

Looking at the front of the vehicle, id say it looks like it was there for repairs.

Or repainting the front black.

Why black?

The others are light green.

New seating too! Wonder if these will be on the new buses from now on? Also, are they on the new IndiGo solos too?

Esteban V3s cant be fitted with seatbelts so different seating is found in the Hexham Solos

Estebans are fitted to the Percy Main Indigos.

Civic V3s CAN be fitted with seatbelts as demonstrated on their website: http://www.isri.es/civicv3.php

Slightley of topic but reading buses have seatbelts on the jetblack 1 Newbury to reading to why not go north east fit seatbelts to all there buses

Ulsterbus do too.
Sampled them in Belfast last summer.

Well not on all examples as I was there in January, they don't have them on Solars. Translink definitely don't have them

Didnt notice them on anything but the Gemini's.
The only other decker I used was an Alx400 and that didn't have them fitted.
Renowns etc didnt have them either.

Same, the airport ALX400 and Meridian did not have them fitted

Anyone have any ideas which services 9105 and 9106 are likely to be on tomorrow? I could do with photos of both of them and tomorrow is likely to be my last chance to get them.

One will almost definitely be on X81/681/185. Then one will probably be on 682/683. I'm off on Saturday to catch one (hopefully) on the 682. I hope I catch 9105

They might not be suitable for kids, though - they seem rather high up and could probably cut across the neck of anyone under 5'.

(16 Mar 2016, 8:50 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Civic V3s CAN be fitted with seatbelts as demonstrated on their website: http://www.isri.es/civicv3.php

I am led to believe Go North East were informed that they could not have the seatbelts they specified on their standard Esteban Civic V3 seating in e-leather.

I highly doubt they would be misinformed by the manufacturer.

Is 9102 out today
