(07 Aug 2015, 6:11 pm)danpick If I go I will make sure I'm there at around 11 as it says if your at the Bus Station you can see the Darts get Withdrawn. Surprised 573/4 and refurbed ones are going as they could help the North Tyne Links/ Tynedale Links get newer ones.

(07 Aug 2015, 6:12 pm)S813 FVK I think they just mean replaced. They won't be withdrawn at the bus station. That will happen once they get to Deptford or Saltmeadows.
(07 Aug 2015, 6:14 pm)danpick When they are taken off the bus to get will be the 201 as that goes near Peterlee depot so they can be seen waiting to be removed.

I see the launch of indiGo means the saver isn't valid on 238 anymore, unless it's a typo?
As that means connections in Seaham through to Sunderland and Houghton and local travel can't get the saver.
Meaning Northlea to Peterlee is now costing £6.10 rather than £4.60.

Today
There seems to be less spots on the side now, also they have fixed the Mercedes badge on the front.

Some of the gold Citaros need a fair bit of external smartening up before they're in a fit state for the pretty stuff. I noticed that 5306 is badly dented at the back and scratched at the side (as well as the front destination display not working properly). 5308 looked like it had been in a few scrapes, too.

(07 Aug 2015, 7:24 pm)Dan The branding has been altered slightly.
All of the gold Mercedes Citaros due to be branded are undergoing repaint (excluding 5325 - 5327 as these were just done earlier this year). Any issues with destinations are also being sorted at Saltmeadows Road - killing two birds with one stone.
