(26 Sep 2015, 12:22 pm)S813 FVK Much better than the ex-london presidents GNE have. I think the first group interior really goes well with the red and white livery on the exterior.

I agree am not a fan of the 51-reg gne ones either, the GNE ones especially Crook's a noise like no other
These ones are subtle

Whoops.

We had a funny incident with one of these open days back in the early summer. We were popping into Durham as a family and went to Belmont P&R - then got ushered over to the queue for the university bus. Husband was at the front and I couldn't hear why we were being ushered away from the bus we needed to another bus and he didn't think to question why. His response was simply "well this is what I was told to do." Either I'm a really young 45 or Big'un is a more grown up looking 11 than I thought Big Grin

An ALX400 does appear on the 845 on Tuesdays at least. However, as the contracts should stipulate a low floor vehicle, they should never really be allocated at all.

Their proper registrations are all V--- LGC so 2000, the same as all of the GNE ex-London Presidents.

S2 STX - V102 LGC
S4 STX - V211 LGC
S5 STX - V146 LGC

They arent, if you are on about the ALX400s. There is no visible ramp on the vehicles and there are no spaces for a wheelchair to go.
