Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2016
I'm betting the yellow will appear somewhere in the new corporate branding, just not in the paintwork.

Looking forward to seeing the new "Go North East" logo, when will be able to see it on 628?
---------
6141 and 6142 will be allocated to Washington when they enter service, this info can be seen on Dan's photo of 6142, these 2 will replace the Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President vehicles. This will provide a higher seating capacity on Washington's scholars services, as well as a younger and more reliable vehicle on peak-time journeys on "Red Arrows" service X1, which run off scholars services.

I wonder if the B7's will replace the 2 non DFDS deckers?
Not sure where 6144 (YN05 GZL) will be allocated though, only 5 more to arrive from Brighton.

Does anyone know why drivers don't use Bus Full displays anymore, used to be common a few years ago but seems to have stopped now.
The football extra 21s tend to fill up at Eldon Sq then run non stop to the Cannon, lots of confused faces as it's sails by bus stops
Is the 9099 going to be on the 10 services during its stay and the 21's

I have a feeling some Vykings maybe converted, their dual door layout would be perfect for the role.

I see a red B9 on it a lot. I don't feel there needs to be that many replacement vehicles, but hopefully they'll be some of the mediocre B7s. 6030 for example.
Don't want those trident presidents to leave stanley yet!

(29 Sep 2016, 12:16 pm)NK06JXC I think that Go North East will invest in some Streetdecks for the 327.For a service that runs very scarcely? Doesn't seem likely to me.
