(17 Feb 2016, 5:20 pm)Jamie M Can anyone tell me what these actually mean? I found it on a stanley based vehicle at consett and can't make sense of any of it.

Running board, the driver will know what it is for.

Unsure as to what the gearbox is.

I have a collection of old running boards (in paper format) from 2005/6 era. Quite enjoy reading through them now and again.

6062 had a bit of a fit with its NSA tonight. Through Allerdene it started announcing Coast Rd, Albion St School and Devonshire Crescent then at Birtley it suddenly corrects itself. The screens remained correct but the audio was out.

4907 was involved in the fatal collision on the 8 when it was based at Chester-le-Street, so it transferred out of the depot out of respect for the driver and the victim of the accident. It was swapped with 4845, if memory serves.

Yep. That's right Smile

4845 developed a fault so was swapped with 4843. 4845 was later withdrawn as a result.

They will be but you'll have to look yourself, the forum mods said not to share the story on the forum due to the consequences of what happened and the forums terms with GNE, such as keeping them on a good side etc because we have GNE workers who view the forum. 


I know you are new and didn't know but i thought i'd let you know why. 

I hope i don't sound like a dick.
