Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2017

(29 Apr 2017, 8:17 am)Dan wrote It's possibly on the old news that has yet to be typed up and inputted into the new system - it was quite some time ago that 4927 gained that advertisement.

It's possibly planned to be stripped shortly, with the amount of buses which have gained them recently. They tend to carry the mega-rear adverts for around a year.


Same lyrics on each bus. Quite a fan of this livery design myself and thought it would be quite popular amongst enthusiasts too - one of the best we've seen as of late.

Have we seen the Metrocentre Mini yet?


Yes - the DriveCam trial has now finished at Washington, and a further trial will be undertaken at Riverside over the next few months. I think it's been quite successful at Washington, which is why it's being trialled at a bigger depot to gauge whether it would suit being rolled out fleet-wide.

The trial of the new Ticketer machines has also been a great success, and will be rolled out fleet-wide over the course of the next few weeks. Riverside and Hexham will be the first depots to go over to the new machines, from next weekend.

Yes i agree the drivers seem to take more care when that was on board. Saying that I did enjoy the fast acceleration on the 4 this mornign since it was removed  Tongue 

Good new about ticket machines too. I know its probably already been said but apart from contactless card payment but do they also accept android/ apple pay? Is there any plan for mobile tickets to become Q codes that you can scan?
