I heard a rumour 4663 was being worked on with MAX upgrades after its repairs to it's thermal incident a few months ago but that's the last I've heard!
As I travel to/from work I usually pass a Pulsar on 685 - ANE must have another Omnicity VOR (or on local routes etc) to require this?
4663 was withdrawn from service and awaiting disposal the last I heard about it. It was last sighted at Jesmond depot with a wavy yellow line sprayed around the vehicle.
I haven't yet heard about any vehicles from the 685 going in for refurbishment. I'm sure one of the insiders could provide more info?
It was mentioned that it might be a joint brand between Arriva and Stagecoach too.
