DAILY DIGEST: 23/02/13

First, there is now only one more "Crusader" branded Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown. It is 4908. It saw use on "The Highwayman" service 97 today, as can be seen in the photo below:

Second, due to the adverse weather conditions, several vehicles suffered badly today. There were at least three break-downs seen by me, with a possibility of further vehicles too. Other vehicles did not break down, but were excessively late and were replaced by other vehicles because of that. An example of a broken down vehicle can be seen below:

For reference, ex-"Crusader" 4846 was taken out of service at approximately 15:15 today due to its wiper snapping... Don't ask. Another example of a break-down was "Angel" 6058. Can't remember the other one that I spotted that had broken down - must have forgotten to note it by texting myself! Two examples of vehicles that suffered blind problems would be 3821 and 4900.

Next, Volvo SB120CS/Wright Merit 8266 (NK04 ZNE) has now received Go North East logo and legals on her white base, as can be seen in the photo below:

Following a recent collision with a Stagecoach vehicle, "QuayLink" 8317 has had its window replaced that was smashed and is back in service. News from a few days ago but I've just remembered upon writing about QuayLinks!

Also, ex-"Crusader" 4937 was spotted today working "Crusader" service 27. She is now out of her maroon base colour, and in a very smart-looking Northern livery. Must also be noted that she carries full stickers to commemorate the one hundredth annivesary of Northern General too. To see a photo, do have a look below:

Work on the "Go North East: Buses By Brand" collection continues. Following quite a long trip out in the snow today, a lot of vehicles were added. See below for a list:
- [REP] "Silver Arrows" 5323
- [ADD] "X66" 5339.
- [REP] "Soccerbus" 4910
- [ADD] "Angel" 6057, 6063, 6065
- [ADD] "Yellow Bus" 3821
- [REP] "DFDS" 3866, 3891
- [ADD] "Northern" 4837
- [ADD] "The Orbit" 8334

Because of the addition of 4910 once more and 5339, the X66 set and Soccerbus set are now complete. Do note that these sets are subject to have photo replacements. As can be seen above, if I take another photo which I deem to be better, or I get a photo of the vehicle in question on the service it is meant to be on, it will most likely be replaced upon evaluation.

Penultimately, the odd allocations... What I had anticipated to be the final thing, but thought of something else to talk about too!

Finally, some nice snow shots to conclude the post! Something unusual which we may not get another opportunity to do, so it's something nice to include, don't you think?
