thought i would make everyone aware that if you travel on go north easts percy mains depot 6115 it is not sounding too healthy as there was a loud squealing noise when it takes of something like the volvo wright renowns. but i have never heard a volvo b9tl make that noise before they are usually quite pleasant to listen to.
just thought i would tell incase it defens you.

It has a dent on the drivers side at the front and the corner of its rear bumper on the left is missing. Even had a small mechanical problem tonight but was quickly resolved and left without a delay.
Seems like 3813 wants to go - its doing what 4852 did, fall to pieces! It has a dent on the drivers side at the front and the corner of its rear bumper on the left is missing. Even had a small mechanical problem tonight but was quickly resolved and left without a delay.

(16 Jun 2015, 4:39 pm)S813 FVK Once thats gone, i'll start looking again. Of course i won't be as quick to decide which to go with as it was before with 3823 but i know it will only be short term if i do indeed get back to 3823. Any recommendations? I am looking at 6131 because it looks brilliant in its orange and pink and it has had its seats re-trimmed.

(16 Jun 2015, 4:41 pm)R852 PRG There's always another that comes about... I'm sure Robert will accept that 3813 has gone after a photo arises of it with it's new owners... Or of it on top of the heap at Alpha!!

(15 Jun 2015, 8:30 am)Dan Three buses have arrived at Saltmeadows Road for repaint. These include:
- Riverside-based "QuayLink" branded Optare Versa V1110/Optare 8310 (NK10 GNY) and 8312 (NK10 GOA) for a fresh coat of yellow, ahead of the changes to the "Quaylink" services next month.
- Deptford-based "Northern" branded DAF SB120/Wright Cadet 8267 (NK54 NKT) for repaint, helping to flush out the Northern name in favour of Go North East's corporate livery.

I could hear something of a ''squeal'', that I would associate with a Wright Streetlite when slowing down, but it sounded quite smooth when going at a speed.

You can hear the engine quite nicely from about 3 mins in.
