(16 Jul 2015, 12:31 pm)GMitchelhill Prob sick of all the spotters hanging around outside Saltmeadows.
Couldn't agree more Gary, particularly when they hanging around like a bad smell.

9109 is back out and will be doing the 14:05 X21 out of Newcastle, just passed it on the Fell, meanwhile I am on 6040 in the opposite direction to Chester le Street.

As long as these spotters are obeying the rules and taking these photos outside of the premises then I don't see the issue at all, I would say its an over zealous reaction of closing the shutters just because people are taking some photos of buses.

I got off the bus, I went to take a photo and then I made my way to Gateshead Stadium, so I wasn't exactly hanging around like a bad smell was I.

Just get pleasure from realising that these people are paranoid.

You are probably upsetting them more than they are upsetting you.

(14 Jul 2015, 1:32 pm)MrFozz Don't know if it is related, but 5369 went past me in Ryhope about 45 minutes ago looking like it had been in a smash, there was no front bumper on and was being driven by an engineer

5369 Is now at Saltmedows so it must have been, see Dan's photo here - https://flic.kr/p/w6ewgX

(16 Jul 2015, 12:06 pm)LeeCalder The "Pride" QuayLink is at Saltmeadows gaining its vinyls also, the Streetdeck is there.

Unfortunately I couldn't get a phone shot of the Streetdeck as they put the shutters down as soon as they seem me.

Looks quite good, might go down to the Quays next time I'm out to get some photos of it.

The rainbow "QuayLink" branded vehicle can be identified as Optare Versa V1110/Optare 8335 (NK11 HJF).

Indeed, 9119 (SN64 CTU) arrived this morning and should hopefully be out in service within the next day or two. A full set of photographs below:
