(21 Feb 2016, 12:36 pm)South Tyne Lad 3942s Based at Hexham on a night though, What replaces 3942s role at Hexham when on TTXs? Presuming a Vyking on loan or 3963-3964?

(21 Feb 2016, 12:35 pm)Kuyoyo Reported elsewhere that 6030 has moved to Stanley, releasing 3888 to Percy Main for the 434/448 (although it is reportedly in need of some TLC before it can enter service), allowing 3941 and 3859 to swap back over.

When Winlaton and Sunlun Road merged, 6071 was initially used as a TTX backup due to it being more capable than 3941/63/64. However, when the FAB 56 PVR was reduced to 14, 6084 was transferred to make up the 14th vehicle on the TEN's PVR (making 3942 a spare vehicle again) but, painted in corporate livery in the event that another bus is required on the TTX for whatever reason (bar high winds).
(21 Feb 2016, 3:19 pm)pdiddy Think it's BXG yes (6307)Thought so but question is what's gonna happen to the Pronto vehicles currently one there I've heard plans they may be withdrawn or temp. Withdrawn while getting repainted eg red arrows first then the 6 that were on pronto plus 6038 or they could move to a different depot that needs them I think Riverside and Stanley to replace the Olympains due to them not being low floor then the entire fleet can finally be low floor for once
If nobody wants 3941 , send it to Crook to replace 6038 please
(21 Feb 2016, 3:20 pm)S813 FVK Can't you just wait until it arrives?

Apparently the Pronto B7's will help clear out the remaining Lolyne's and Olympian's.

Quick question does Hexham have 2 loan Solos now 9105 & 9106 or has 9105 replaced the white Solo, which prob means I have to drive up to Haltwhistle again to get a photo of it in service.

Hmmm rather handy, means I can scope out Hexham first to avoid trekking all the way to Haltwhistle.
