IIRC the Solos lasted a few month before been transferred over to Stanley after Go North East took over the services of Stanley Travel. Then all the vehicles were transferred to Plymouth and then onto Go South Coast along with 599 to 602.

Teenage Lads were binge drinking at the back of the bus and left a right mess, both sick and alcohol.

Oh dear

(14 May 2016, 6:31 pm)MrPottski wrote The 148, Seaham to Houghton was eventually turned into the 238, Sunderland to Barwell. The 211 was turned into the X7, and other local Peterlee and Seaham services were all merged into GNE local services. There is a Seaham town service 143 which is now ran by DCC as far as I'm aware.

The 143 is now the 215

Well, there goes the brand new bus smell on that one

(14 May 2016, 7:09 pm)Michael wrote Wasn't the 30 branded?, I'm sure it was called "Thirty" or something like that.

Yeah it was basically the final version of the blue/yellow/red livery (circle swoops) with 'Thirty' logos on top

GNE Jayline branded MPD

I quite liked it, shame we won't see it again.

I think the red, yellow and blue needs a revival of sorts. A lot more people than just enthusiasts would probably be happy to see it. It's a very strong branding.

Indeed, one of my favourite modern liveries, it really had a strong sense of identity. Unlike the plain red.

Is the 10:49 20 from Durham today a streetlite?

8313's NSAs are not working

6096's NSA screens are working but the announcements are not

(15 May 2016, 10:07 am)NK53 TKT wrote 6096's NSA screens are working but the announcements are not

They've probably been turned down.

We should be rolling out the new style of screens and announcements to the Fab56 in a week or two, so any issues will be looked at and repaired then.

The seat on 5312:

Any one that needs renowns
39 4907 , 4909,4924
9 4913 , 4917

I know Dan's been busy etc with work so he hasn't had a chance to update the fleet list... hopefully he has a chance to do it soon.

Go North East's news over the past two weeks is on there now. I've been covering most of it on the forum as it's quick enough to type a post from my phone, but it's not as quick to update the fleet lists/news!

Bang goes the idea of 4968-76 going blue, eh? 4976 is now at Saltmeadows Road for repaint and has gone red (the same shade as 5213).

Oh well it was worth a guess... can you confirm if they will be branded or is it just a new shade for "Go North East"?

(15 May 2016, 1:36 pm)Michael wrote Oh well it was worth a guess... can you confirm if they will be branded or is it just a new shade for "Go North East"?

Yes, the light red Scania L94s will be branded.

Looking forward to seeing where they'll go.... When will we find out?

(15 May 2016, 1:40 pm)Michael wrote Looking forward to seeing where they'll go.... When will we find out?

Very soon... There's going to be fleet movements and re-allocations with every new Streetlite that enters service, and also with the service changes next weekend.

I'm sure Saltmeadows Road's painters will be kept busy over the next few weeks!

I needed that bus but 4913 was better

Have 8258 and 8267 been withdrawn yet?
Also whats going to replace 8270,71

Not sure but it could be Scania's or B10's.

(15 May 2016, 3:39 pm)Michael wrote Not sure but it could be Scania's or B10's.

Probably end up being 4945/46 from to Deptford that will replace the god awful 8270/71 at Washington.

Really hoping the changes to the 2/2a improves reliability. This 2a is currently 2 mins early. You can't win seriously.

2 mins? Terrible! I think the earth just fell off it's axis.
