Go North East 9090 / YJ15 ARF by kieron mathews, on Flickr

9090 at Saltmeadows this afternoon, fleetnumbers and Go North East logos removed. Looks like its due to return back to Dawsons Rentals.

Go North East 721 / KY63 VTL by kieron mathews, on Flickr

721 has entered service at Hexham, doesn’t look like the tracker is working as it doesn’t appear on the app.

5423 is heading north past silver link, where’s it going?

Has the final MPD finally been withdrawn?

Think it will be when 723 returns to Hexham.

Ah right, i thought it was when 721 entered service at Hexham.

When will the remaining Omnidekka's arrive from Brighton?

No because that released 9090.

Assuming they're still coming, new buses will need to be delivered to B&H first, as the rest of the batch is still in service.

717 is now in service on the Chester le Street Town routes.

715 & 716 likewise, on the Durham Cathedral Bus 40/40A/40B. Presently unbranded.

When will 6911/12 be heading to percy main
6912 looks ready to tranfer
However it looks like 6911 still needs a repaint
But if anyone knowes please tell me

There’s a few Angel21s that are rather annoying because the previsouly mentioned silencing update for the NSAs has either not been applied or has not applied successfully.
I forgot to take the fleet number of this morning’s vehicle but this evening it’s the Night Angel liveried one that is announcing the service and destination twice.

Is it repairable or not.

Looked good.

Looking forward to seeing the brand.

Does this mean some of the temporary Solo loans have finished? (All the Solo's/versa's) go back to the original depots)

9090 Loan is finished AFAIK

Don't have a clue, saw it from the 680 about half 3 and it was still there at half 6. Guessing not, it on the 655/656 with 3996 which I'm guessing took the other kids home. Was gone by half 8 when i got home again

Do you know if the 2 mini solo's have gone back to Washington for the 23?

(10 Sep 2018, 9:48 pm)Michael wrote Do you know if the 2 mini solo's have gone back to Washington for the 23?

They're having some repairs completed at the moment prior to transfer to Washington.

Dan you'll be happy to hear there's a slight error in some of the new destination programs at stanley - outbound trips on the X30 to newcastle have the old scrolling format, although the inbound stanley trips have the new format. Seen 3x RK streetlite follow this pattern and 1x toonlike omnidekka.

Close, but no cigar

I noticed this on 5236, Newcastle X31's have the new one, but not X30's.

I haven't seen a Citaro on the 74 for a while. I use the 74 whenever I can between Eldon Square and Westerhope and 668, 669 and 671 are usually allocated, with 667 also used sometimes.

There might be a couple earlier than the rest, before Xmas.
