(22 Oct 2015, 5:36 pm)S813 FVK And what is that meant to achieve? People aren't reading posts resulting in the same thing being repeated. Is that a reportable offence?

PM me if you have an issue with it. I'm not going to take the thread even further off topic, to discuss this with you.

(22 Oct 2015, 4:26 pm)Dan Not to my knowledge - think it's still with us..? Sure I heard it was still kicking about last weekend.

A friend of mine (who works at Chester-le-Street depot) seems to think that 9107 has been returned, following it's trial.

It hasn't been unknown in the past for Riverside (previously Sunderland Road) to throw on extra buses on the 327 to cope with extra deman.

(22 Oct 2015, 2:35 pm)R852 PRG Can't help but wonder, if Riverside has supposedly got the best mechanical facilities out of all of the depots within the company, why has it been sent back to Percy Main to receive maintenance?
Why would it go to Perry Main for maintenance.

Its a demo bus, so wrightbus would come out to wherever to fix it !

4941 is now branded and out on 97/98 today (would have been on a 96 early doors as they interwork).

The first two that were branded are still off the road for PSV, and 4940 is undergoing branding at the moment at Saltmeadows Rd.

Stanley has a miracle worker it may seem. 3814 was so powerful not even 3831 could overtake it.

Basically, 3814 IS FIXED!

I personally think the service changes in Stanley and some more OmniDekkas from Brighton & Hove could result in some more withdrawals. So not for long.  Tongue

I would say 3822 and 3832 need to go first like. Would love to have a ride on 3814 before it goes.

Inclined to agree; 3822 and 3832 have always provided poorer rides than the superb 3830 and 3831. I still need 3814 for haulage, the only Olympian that I need now. Will be annoyed if I don't manage to catch it before it goes.

3831 has to be my favourite of the ones I've been on, but I also can't seem to catch a ride on 3814, annoyingly when I do get an Olympian it's almost always 3830 which is fine but would quite like a different one, especially as I'm certainly well covered for photographs of that one now.

3831 is definitely the best one of the ones left (in my opinion). 3830 follows, with 3832 and 3822 being the last ones in that order.

As i haven't ridden on 3814 yet now its been fixed, i don't know where to put it but i guess if it can actually pull away from 3831, it must  be good.
