(24 Apr 2018, 11:08 am)BusLoverMum 6304 in receipt of tlc at ES. Mechanics says it's knackered.

Broke down on the 11:09 from Eldon Square, easily recognisable that one thanks to half its missing rear branding. Hard to say what looks better, the full rear branding or just the bottom half. Probably the latter

Some potentially sad news, the last remaining Wright Renown in the fleet was seen at Gateshead Interchange this evening having broken down, 1001 was in attendance to take it back to the depot.

Could this be the end of an era

Slightly confused at this one. I seen this morning that GNE have a new cherished reg plate, 'N21 GNE' which I think everyone say that would be fantastic on Night Angel 6333.... but it's ended up on on 5321...

How regularly is the Great Exhibition of the North Versa, 5390, on Q1/Q2? I've only noticed it once, at Eldon Square.

Often. Been on Q1/Q2 the past 3 days at least. You won't see it at Eldon Square, though, since the Q1/2 go from Station to Market street then onwards.

I'm hoping to ride the Great Exhibition of the North Versa at some point. I need to change from Q3 to Q2 for Gateshead College. I hope my Q1/Q2 will be 5390. 

Sorry, it was on Q3 at Eldon Square. Not sure when it was. It's not usually on the Q3.

You have a higher chance of seeing it at Gateshead Interchange since 3 different Quaylinks leave at roughly the same time.

Use the GNE app and check the Quaylinks once in a while, if you see it, take a trip to Gateshead Metro and go from there. You can be waiting for weeks for it to show up on the board you want it to be on.

Apparently they are different in engines or something. Is that why 5438 and 5439 came before?

They were going to have different engines, but that decision was reversed and they have the same Cummins engine as all the previous ones. Streetlites from 5442 upwards have Euro 6 Daimler engines, which are a better match for the transmission.

There's a 4 branded Merc getting a lift home tonight. Broke down Bournmoor/Fencehouses area.

Low-loader driver somehow got it through the roadworks outside the Beehive. No idea how!
