Does 9109 have a set running board or is it allocated to any random board. Just thinking of tracking it down next week.

Of course they do not have aircon so still do not know what caused the racket !!!
Contrary to the latest fleet news, which stated 3879 as being withdrawn - it is still going. Was operating the short 888 service this evening. Excuse the poor photo, it took me by complete surprise.
Had 3874 tonight and i wish i didn't - its the lolyne versio of 3814. Powerless, takes ages to gain any speed even when on a hill and is extremely loud (although 3814 isnt the last of the list). Have to say, the interior was very clean when i got on but that was quickly changed by some of the immature year 7s messing with water and ending up getting it on the floor.
I also saw 5400 today - the streetlite that Dan mentioned about having part of the main branding missing (not route like 5396) - as i was sitting on the other side, i was unable to get a photo of it but i have searched on flickr, grabbed a photo that had a good side angle and placed a yellow box around the panel that is missing.

(04 Sep 2015, 3:43 pm)S813 FVK Haven't a clue - guessing it will be aimed at the Nat Ex drivers rather than the main drivers. Don't even think the National Express drivers are employed through Go North East?
