I've updated the bodywork on all Volvo B9TLs in the fleet to read 'Wright Eclipse Gemini 2' as opposed to 'Wright Eclipse Gemini'. This mistake was replicated from Go North East's own fleet list, and I think it was mainly down to my laziness at the time for not correcting it.
In doing this, I also added a vehicle history for each of the "TEN" branded B9TLs, with photographs to complement it. 6083 has a slightly different history to the others, for obvious reasons. Also, I have edited the depot allocation for these vehicles to read 'Riverside / Hexham'; as we've established elsewhere on the forum, these vehicles do not have a set depot allocation, and as such it felt appropriate that we note this accordingly on the fleet list.
Also, I have added a vehicle history and photograph for each of the "Tyne Tees Xpress" branded B9TLs.

Likewise, I have altered the chassis on all Optare Solo SRs in the fleet to read 'Optare Solo SR M890', with the bodywork being 'Optare' to represent the integral vehicle. I've chosen to do this to make our fleet lists more accurate. I've replicated the bodywork of 'Optare' on each of the Optare Versas in the fleet too.
In doing this, I used the opportunity to add the vehicle history for each of the Optare buses in the fleet. Optare Solos 625-640 had already received photographs. All of the "Venture" branded Optare Solos have now received photographs, minus 651 which I appear not to have a photograph of. I have chosen not to add photographs of the "Citylink" branded Optare Versas at this stage as I don't think I have many photographs of them, but I have edited the vehicle history for each of these vehicles a little so it's a little bit more friendly on the admin area. Although I do have some nice photographs of the other Versas in the fleet, I want to have some better photographs for the fleet lists, so will wait until we've got some sun to replace them all.


Remember, although I've primarily been working on the newer vehicles here, that's because they're the easy ones to do. If anyone would like to work on the older vehicles in the fleet, please do by commenting on this thread!
