(27 Sep 2015, 4:20 pm)Dan But look at the fleet numbers of the ones which have already arrived...

It's clear that the fleet numbers have been allocated in registration mark order, and as 6128 and 6130 were both '03 plates, it was obvious 6129 was going to be an '03 plate too (or it was to me, at least!)

I take that then as confirmation that these two are 6129 and 6132?

(27 Sep 2015, 4:28 pm)Michael It was to me too, but i was saying that GNE will probables get the 04 ones from now on as 6131/6133 are 04 + 6132 has arrived which is 04 plate... i don't see them having 3 as 04 plates and then 6134+ as 03 plates, so hence why i said the rest will probables be 04 plate... lol

Not how i interpreted your post but as long as you know what you meant, thats all that matters Tongue

Yes: Brighton & Hove's 613 (GX03 SVD) is now numbered 6129 within the Go North East fleet, and 620 (YN04 GYF) is numbered 6132.

I believe any further arrivals will be '04 plate or newer, applying the same logic as before that the fleet numbers have been allocated in registration mark order.

I'm guessing that these 2 are for Stanley aswell? Just to get some of the Olympians gone (Lolynes at a later date).

They're in a sorry state at the moment (some of the others were a lot worse when they arrived), but I trust Go North East's painters will work their magic on 'em!

GNE have already said that they aim to withdraw all olympians by the end of this year. Getting rid of the lolynes first certainly won't acheive this aim.

Go North East has provided a fully low-floor operation on the Great North Run Baggage Buses for the past two or three years.

The East Lancs bodied Dennis Tridents are not DDA-compliant, so to maximise sale value, it makes sense to withdraw these as soon as possible. Indeed, some have already been sold on as runners, despite some enthusiasts being adamant that all of these vehicles would be confined to the scrap yard now!
