(31 May 2015, 10:39 am)Robert Thats the question I imagine they would start back rather than going into 5 figures. Just unlike Arriva and other companies, they dont use vacant fleet numbers again and continue from the next highest available fleet number.

I'd imagine they would, rather than going to 5 digits. Didn't Arriva try 5 digits a few years back with the X-GGO darts, but quickly reverted back to 4?

(31 May 2015, 10:57 am)Kuyoyo Slightly off-topic - but the 5 digit numbers used on 1301-15 originally (and always on the never-used B6BLEs recently written-off) was a product of Arriva's Scotland West divisional management rather than the North East. The only 2 X-GGOs ever to operate in the North East with their 5 digit Scottish numbers were 1306 (X526 GGO) and 1307 (X527 GGO) which originally saw service at Ashington as 44016 and 44007 respectively. (Remember that they also were originally numbered 1501-1515 prior to renumbering to free the 15xx for Pulsars).

The trouble with reusing fleet numbers is that in most systems we use now the previous vehicle history is retained, so really I think reusing fleet numbers will not happen.

(31 May 2015, 4:29 pm)mb134 Would there be much point in having history of vehicles withdrawn last year for example, in 10-15 years time?

(31 May 2015, 5:12 pm)Andreos1 Most paper records are archived after a period and then destroyed. So to keep an electronic version, on a system that will more than likely being replaced anyway...
It shouldn't be on the wit of beast to somehow translate the old data onto another format (keeping the relevant info) then delete it from the original system.

(31 May 2015, 5:23 pm)Malarkey The current Fleet Archive Document for Go North East on Simplygo,com in the Enthusiast Area goes back as far as January 6th 2003, so there is just over 12 Years of Fleet History, dont think anything has been removed from that Document either.
I recall Dan using it not so long ago when compiling individual Vehicle History for the NEB(GNE) Fleet List, before having rely on Flickr Searches and speaking to other Enthusiasts etc to find the relevant information that he required to ensure it was all up to date.
