2 HOURS FROM NOW
This vehicle has been sold to Stagecoach South, having been previously listed for disposal at Hartlepool Depot.

Just saves me asking millions of questions haha

Yes, the design is not quite there yet on the Fleet News, so it's probably not worth looking at it yet.

A headline will be assigned to each history item, and this will display at the top. This has already been set up behind the scenes, but Liam has yet to apply the update for it to be seen publicly on the Fleet News page itself.

A filter for each operator has yet to be added, and the archive hasn't been added yet either. Liam is working on things as and when he can, but tonight's priority was to sort out the new theme based on everyone's feedback.

I'm getting there slowly but surely with re-creating the actual content. Most Go North East vehicles new 2008 onwards have complete history sections now. I need to go back at a later date to add the main photos to each fleet record and also smaller photos for history items, but that's an easy job and can be done on a quiet Sunday when I'm not doing anything else..!

You didn't ask about the 'two hours from now' but to answer the question which will no doubt be asked if I don't answer it now - I moved the vehicle to (Awaiting Disposal) rather than sold directly, and you can't have two things happening on the same date. Unlike Arriva and Go North East, we don't tend to have 'live updates' and most of our discussion on the forum usually comes after the release of the latest fleet card. This does unfortunately mean that the news will be bogged down on this date every month!
