(12 Sep 2015, 1:49 pm)DanPicken What's being provided for the GNR.

As in previous years; 38 double-deck buses (from all depots) will be allocated to the Baggage Buses, further double-decks will be be allocated to service R1, and Riverside will be providing some single-decks for service X27 (usually Loop and Highwayman Scania L94s, though this year may see some Crusaders being used too).

Just been done! Retains a similar theme to the old branding carried by 4847, but has been modernised somewhat by the addition of more circles towards the back of the bus.

5401 and 5419 are based at Stanley, and 5409 is based at Chester-le-Street.

Ideally; 5401 should become the spare for the Red Kite 45/46, and 5419 should become the spare for the Coast & Country 8/78.

Apologies for so many posts, will merge a couple down to reduce them but:

Does 5419 have route info for services 28, 28A and 128 or does it just advertise the 25% entry discount if you present a bus ticket?

Chester-le-Street/Crook

I'm led to believe that some (if not all) of the Red Kite Volvo B9TLs will be allocated to service X27 later this afternoon; as such, this will lead to a few wrong allocations on the "Toon Link" and "Red Kite" services today (these include Saltwell Park 8346 and red spares 4964/5389).
