Ex Gne solar. NK55 OLM owned by County Durham Bus Preservation Group. It appeared for the X85 farewell and has appeared at each North East rally this year

Didn't even know the group existed. Never mind that particular bus being in preservation. 

Tend not to bother with the rallies these days to be honest.

Hilarious

One of the B5 Hybrids rubbed downed at East Yorkshire:

I'd imagine that is 6064 as it was sold to East Yorkshire.

6064 living on.

Any idea where the rest are going?

Sure I read Manchester but could be completely wrong.

Definitely not Manchester

I thought they were going to Manchester too

Perhaps the plan changed - TfGM certainly bought the ex-Oxford Hybrids (and Stagecoach are using them as a result), but the difference between those and the GNE examples is that the GNE ones were only Euro 5.

Aren't SC Newcastle's hybrids going to Manchester?

They've painted the window blacks to look like the MMCs, bless.

Didn't notice that - horrid livery all round, hopefully we get something a bit nicer if we ever get a franchise system up here.  There's much nicer versions of yeloow based liveries that spring to mind.

Probably get Battleship Grey & Red.

Or in keeping with "Franchise Yellow" perhaps a nice yellow and white PTE livery to return
