An expensive one too I bet. I'd imagine that Go North East would have only had a licence to reproduce the work for a set period of time.

Wasn't aware this document existed - "Stumbled" over it searching for a fleet detail:
http://www.ukbuses.co.uk/fleet/gonortheast.pdf

Interesting format - although it's out of date in some areas. Who produces it or is it compiled from other docs.?

Looks quite good, like you said its out of date.

Dan did a new format for our GNE one but i can't find the post he did with the attachment on, that was a PDF.

I got bored and started a new format instead, which is better for fleet statistics. Might be able to go to a prettier style later, but too much of a pain in the arse to achieve at the moment.

Finished Go North East, Brighton & Hove / Metrobus and all of the various subsidiaries of Oxford Bus Co.

Will share once complete. Wink

It's a possibility we could, if there's enough interest. It'd be nice to have one that was widely shared amongst the enthusiast community.

6129 and 6132 are part of the second batch of 11 to come up later in the year?

I was informed by an Older Enthusiast that they were due up in either September or October from Brighton, no idea whether this is information is accurate or not, obviously taken with a pinch of salt.

It has already been confirmed that 11 more Omnidekkas are to transfer to GNE from Brighton. It is also strongly speculated (so strong there is possibly a hint of confirmation in there?) that they will come up before the end of the year.

Excuses! Although my excuses for not getting one are: I forgot, it was raining and I had other things to get photos of.

Weren't you in the Gateshead area on Sunday morning?
