I reckon some will stay at Deptford to replace 8258/67/68/69 and two to Washington to replace 8270 & 8271.

Rather have a Scania than a duel door B10!

We still don't know where the Scania's will go, really the Scania's should go for a straight swap at the depots which have Cadets and the Duel door B10's.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

I was hoping the Scania's would replace all the Cadets and B10's at Deptford but they'll only replace the Cadets...

Aye some of the PB ones are a bit crap though - hopefully we get the 54 plate ones if we get any

Most of the 17s are the X reg ones now - but they're better than the crap B7s some of them you can here before you see them especially 6008.

The B10s still have a few years left in them, The B10Ms could've lasted another 20 Years but DDA got in the way, They were built to last.
The Cadets and the Merits are starting to age a bit too fast now.

They do, i didn't mean withdraw the ones from Deptford, i meant just replace them with the Scania's and then move the B10's else where.

4968 is the only crap one in my opinion, Though your right about the 54 reg ones, There still in good condition.

4913 and 4914 are lovely ( even though there W reg ) and I have a softspot for B7s, I find them nippy. ( though sluggish at the same time )

4913 and 4914 are great yeah - they are X reg though (X913WGR and X914WGR). 4911 was my favourite one though sadly not at PM anymore.

No probs, its my fault because i should of explained it better.

Currently in the fleet there's only 19 Cadets and duel door B10's so all should be gone when the Streetlites enter service... this should leave at least 2 Scania's as float vehicles.

So get your pictures of the Cadets and Duel door B10's Wink

(28 Mar 2016, 9:35 pm)dannygee wrote But the driver chooses the destination. I know during weekdays and saturdays the 40 is every 15 mins and 41 every 30 through howdon and 15 through battle hill. So every 2nd bus should display hadrian park. On a evening and sunday they just run every 30mins so it should be Wallsend - wallsend.

For example it is

For the 40

40-Wallsend - Wallsend
40- wallsend- hadrian pk
40-wallsend- wallsend
40- wallsend to hadrian

For the 41

41-wallsend- wallsend
41-hadrian pk -wallsend
41- wallsend - wallsend
41 hadrian pk to wallsend.

Sure dan or citaro can comfirm what driver should display etc

(28 Mar 2016, 9:40 pm)Tom wrote Ah right I guess Wallsend is ok as it is a circular to be fair but I think passengers can get confused with the destinations.

To be honest, most of the locals don't get confused by the 40/41 because the numbers (or similar numbers)that are used have been around over 25 years. Before it became the 40/41, it was originally the 340/341. There was a short period when the 341 didn't exsist when the 340 only ran Hadrian Park - High Farm - Wallsend, whilst the 305 covered the Hadrian Park - Howdon - Wallsend part of the loop.

Could we please get back to the latest Go North East news, instead of banging on about bus restoration projects which are highly unlikely to ever come about?

I'm sure there are much more appropriate areas of the forum for bus preservation discussion to go.

6006 is out today if anyone wants it. Currently crossing the Tyne Bridge on the X1A.

Go North East

A693 closed between Beamish and Pelton due to RTA. 8 operating normally, 28 omitting West Pelton.
