5210 has been seen more recently than it used to, I once had 5229. 5210 only ever gets allocated through the week as there are less passengers on a weekend.

74 and 688 are longer routes due to capacity wise thus why 5210 is always on there Solos will work for the rest of the services

(19 Feb 2016, 1:46 pm)Michael Thanks for the update Bazza, hopefully the last 3 arrive early next week. 


Hopefully the Streetlites are next.

Another two should have arrived today, with the last one on Monday - subject to ferry sailings.

Next will be the Solo for Hexham, then Percy Main.

The Streetlite will not start delivery until the after the middle of April.

(20 Feb 2016, 8:18 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Where was 9105 today I hoped it on the 74 but 557 was allocated

(20 Feb 2016, 8:44 pm)S813 FVK The fleet news doesn't even say that it has entered service at Hexham yet.

I don't think it was used on Friday, as the vehicle had yet to receive a list of the destination codes (with it being a Mobitec destination, each screen is done based on a number, as opposed to route number with variants).

It was used on the 681/X81 etc cycle yesterday. I did get a photograph of it at Haltwhistle yesterday afternoon, but didn't have time to update the news, as I was out all day and then out all night (so just playing catch up on the forum now).

6304 and 6305 did indeed arrive yesterday morning.

It's probably a good thing logistically though! I suppose it means you're not preparing the entire order for service at once.

It is but i was hoping it would be after the Streetdecks, with it being the same company.


I would imagine that 566-569 will start to go in for repaint soon, if the SOLO's are due after Streetdecks, as these are the younger of the current MPD's branded for NTL, they'll probables replace 542, 547, 548 in the fleet.


Which other MPD's from the Tynedale Links will be repainted in to Yellow & Blue?

Doesn't work like that Michael unfortunately.  It all depends on when the Streetlite order was placed and then how many vehicles are getting built on the Streetlite line in the factory.
