None. See post on facebook for an idea why.
Its actually on my personal facebook. Basically the variety of liveries are the only thing keep my interest in the hobby alive since most bus these days are plasticy. Saw a video from onboard the Streetdeck and basically the washing machine in my house sounds more powerful than it.

All of them look dull, Nexus need to get rid of red and black altogether.

(24 Jul 2015, 1:48 pm)Venturego Because all routes in and out of Tyne & Wear with only a few exceptions are being taken over by the Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Executive, trading as "Nexus" under a Quality Contract Scheme, if approved with a start up date pencilled in as April 2017.
Posted here as all GNE branding on affected routes (just about all branded services) will be no more.
One single brand for all public transport, linking to Metro, Ferry & Rail with multi user ticketing will be easier to understand, especially for tourists, visitors and new/occasional users.

Two further pink Solo SR arrivals today:
- 659 NK15 GFE
- 663 NK15 GFU
Coach & Bus Week are also running a story on the importance of providing free Wi-Fi on buses. It includes a photo of one of Go North East's "Sunderland Connect" branded Optare Solo SRs - answers on a post card for the reason why, when they're talking about Wi-Fi on the new Streetlites (which apparently drives the Next Stop Announcements - news to me!)

(24 Jul 2015, 5:09 pm)Dan A large number of double-deck vehicles from Riverside, Chester-le-Street, Stanley and Percy Main are on loan to Deptford at present and should return on Sunday night after the Airshow is finished.
In the past I think Deptford has primarily operated the A1 service with its own fleet of vehicles, but I think this year we will see a bit more variety on this service...
