Any ideas on what is going on with the Silver Arrows 2A/2C Today, as in the Hour and 15 Minutes I was out I seen Cadet 8272/Solars 5202 and another Un'Identified 54reg Solar along with an unndentified Northern Renown More than likely 4920 also on the 2A/2C, Which means there is 4 Citaros Missing.

Also while walking home from The Galleries as I was coming down the Staires next to the Job Centre I seen another Northern Renown, Assuming from Chester le Street powering up Washington Highway towards Springwell, I would think this either going to Sunderland Road or Saltmeadows Depot for Maintainence, Unless it was on a Vehicle Road or Driver Training or Something.

That was quiet repaint! I suspect that they'll have the Versas branded as SimpliCity for the 39.

Mind it was, should be branded soon enough, although the timetable is still wrong for the 39 it has it down as Northern and running with Scania's

Edit, ignore that what i just posted, it doesn't look they interwork!

Edit, it looks like they might inter work at doxford park? - looking at the timetable

Coming in as the 29 and leaving as the 39, other way around, arriving as 39 leaving as the 29?

but don't see how that will work - not enough Scania's

Unsure why the 39's a generic timetable. I don't think they'll interwork. 39's arrive at 25, 45, 05 and then leave at 30, 50, 10.

it does, maybe they didn't notice untill they were printed it was branded as Northern.

When the SPD go, least theirs gonna be a little more space for the fleet numbers to be moved, so their not all close together.

Least then hopefully all the tab's for the south depots can be on one page....

Quote:We'll be at Newcastle Grainger Street tomorrow from 1000-1730 promoting our new #Fab56 buses - pop along & see us!

Good to see longer promotion hours - the extension to 1730 is great for catching the commuters.

When the 60 became the drifter with the blue timetable and the 61 as Simplicity, Sunderland Interchange and on board the 61 still had the old green timetables, while Chester-Le-Street travelshop had the new blue 60 and simplicity 61 timetables in stock.

Anybody got any insight as to the abundance of base blue Omnicitys at Percy Main? Whilst we all understand the deckers are heading on to the 309 310 soon, any ideas where these plain blue buses are heading? I initially thought Coaster, but all these vehicles are branded up already aren't they?
