They were originally down to send a few from details I received about a month ago so I wouldn't be surprised, with the North East sending more (though originally I think this was down to be mostly Tridents rather than E400s - clearly this changed).


As an update for Go North East...

From Chester-le-Street:

• Volvo B7TL 6016
  
• Volvo B7TL 6019
  
• Volvo B7TL 6036

From Deptford:

• Volvo B7TL 6008 (replacing Volvo B7TL 6010 from Stanley)
  
• Volvo B7TL 6020
  
• Volvo B7TL 6028
  
• Volvo B9TL 6099
  
• Volvo B7TL 6100

From Stanley:

• Volvo B7TL 6009
  
• Volvo B7TL 6012

From Percy Main:

• Volvo B9TL 6116
  
• Volvo B9TL 6117

From Riverside:

• Volvo B7TL 3941
  
• Volvo B7TL 3964*
  
• Volvo B7TL 6015
  
• Volvo B7TL 6031 (replacing Volvo B7TL 6014)
  
• Volvo B7TL 6042 (replacing Volvo B7TL 6023)

From Washington:

• Volvo B7TL 6027
  
• Volvo B7TL 6029 (replacing Volvo B7TL 6011 which didn't feel too good upon arrival at Riverside this morning)
  
• Volvo B7TL 6032

*I am told that Volvo B7TL 3964 was originally meant to head up North later this week, but has gone in place of 3963 (which presumably encountered problems this morning so couldn't go up today). I'd therefore assume that 3963 will go up later this week, taking the place of 3964.

After arriving at Riverside at 08:45am, the convoy of vehicles from other depots were all given last minute checks by Riverside engineering. After this, drivers made their way to the MetroCentre Coach Park between 09:00am and 09:30am for a photoshoot. Volvo B7TL 6020 unfortunately did not participate while it received further attention from engineering. The drivers all looked very happy indeed, and they got involved in some group photographs alongside other members of Go North East staff who were present.
