Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2015
(04 Jun 2015, 10:55 am)Malarkey Forgot to mention yesterday I was informed by another Enthusiast that Smiles Engineering has went into Liquidation, and the Liquidators have seized a Coaster Scania Omnicity, 5262 iirc and one of the Driver Training Coaches which were up their for Repairs.

(04 Jun 2015, 11:06 am)Dan I don't know the legitimacy of this, but I can confirm that 5261 is currently at Smiles Engineering.
I wouldn't have thought that they would be able to seize an asset which wasn't Smiles' own? It is a Go North East asset, and has nothing to do with Smiles other than being present there for engine-related repairs.

(04 Jun 2015, 11:25 am)Malarkey Hmmm I wonder if the Bloke I spoke to yesterday has got his wires crossed then, Could be that Smiles work across Numerous Sectors though.

572 is back in service at Crook on the 18 today and looks to have been given a seat re-trim.
(04 Jun 2015, 12:12 pm)Malarkey If he was called Les then quite possibly.
(04 Jun 2015, 4:22 am)Dan I thimk the seats are only being re-trimmed on one of them - the Metro Radio one.
I think they were re-trimmed at Brighton not long before they departed the fleet, so the seat moquette is in pretty good condition.

(04 Jun 2015, 4:38 pm)Dan The Dennis Trident/Plaxton President vehicles at Stanley (3885 - 3889) are currently allocated to services X30/X31 and X70/X71.
When all of the former Brighton & Hove Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka vehicles enter service on these routes, the Dennis Trident/Plaxton President vehicles will be re-allocated to a scholars role, and should see primary allocation to the scholars service mentioned in my previous post.

(04 Jun 2015, 4:42 pm)Dan That was just a copying and pasting error, and you being too quick to reply before I'd managed to read over and edit, as I got distracted by an e-mail!
Service 821 retains a Volvo Olympian allocation.
