(15 Jan 2016, 11:40 am)Andreos1 Wifi pods (or pods with the international WiFi symbol) on the top of Nexus Bus liveried Solo's.
Are these standard or were they fitted as an extra?

Don't think this has been reported, 556 has a advert for the iNorthumberland programme, same as the Arriva MPDs.

(16 Jan 2016, 9:29 am)Andreos1 Without searching online for one, I don't.
The pod is on the roof, about half-way down the vehicle but positioned towards the o/s and has a WiFi symbol (the dot and three curved lines) on the pod.
I know Solo's within other organisations don't have them, but for whatever reason the Nexus liveried ones in the GNE fleet do.
Haven't checked the SR versions up at Consett, Peterlee etc.

(05 Jan 2016, 7:48 pm)Dan I'm sorry to disappoint, but 9119 operated the following:
- 14:34 #X21 (Bishop Auckland - Newcastle)
- 16:05 #X21 (Newcastle - Bishop Auckland)
- 17:45 #X21 (Bishop Auckland - Durham)
- 18:35 #X46 (Durham - Beechburn Industrial Estate)
It did not break down - what a shame, eh?

Either way - the "Nexus" branded Solo SRs in the fleet certainly don't have Wi-Fi.

(16 Jan 2016, 10:29 am)S813 FVK Interesting. Looking to upgrade the service, perhaps?Not this financial year perhaps the next financial year perhaps speaking of which does anyone have the new fleet list of the new buses coming up and the cascades which are about to happen like where are the buses from Prince Bishops, Tynedale Links, North Tyne Links and pronto will end up at?

(16 Jan 2016, 10:41 am)Dan I'd imagine that Go North East is just utilising resources effectively, providing sufficient capacity to match demand. The NUFC football match kicks off at 15:00, so the 12:45 X85 out of Hexham is likely to get quite full.
5230 is currently allocated to this running board, and will presumably be replaced by 3942 (which is currently stationed at Hexham). It will have to be replaced itself upon arrival back at Hexham, as it would naturally work the 17:50 X84 on this running board. The 17:10 X85 is currently being operated by 5233.
Although single-decks get quite busy at peak-times (often with standing room only), I don't think double deckers could be justified on a permanent basis.
