Also after doing the Tall Ships today, could anyone tell me what the status of these vehicles are as they are the only ones I haven't got photos of....

6905 - LX06EBF - London Gemini
6931 - LX54GZV - London President
6940 - PJ02RBF - EYMS President

I have feeling the two Presidents failed to turn up in the North East, whilst I think the Gemini was parked up at Deptford Terrace all day today.

If 6905 is the only one left I need to photo due to the other 2 not arriving, what other things will the Geminis be used on over the summer.

6905 was taken out of service yesterday afternoon at around 3:30pm as it had an issue with the indicators, this has now been repaired so will be out and about again tomorrow.
6931 was out in service all day yesterday until around 8pm - P&R 4 and 5.
6940 wasn't put through MOT test in time at EYMS to make the journey north, which is why 790 (9093) has transferred north on loan this week.

All of these buses will be taken out of service after Tall Ships to allow work to be completed to them to bring them up to standard for September when they start new duties on their scholars services: fitment of LED destination displays, fitment of Go North East's standard CCTV/low bridge warning devices, any other mechanical work that needs to be undertaken, and potentially some going through repaint, to name a few things on the list.
