They should be withdrawing 542 not 548, as its the only one which is Yellow!
(04 Apr 2016, 2:53 pm)Dan wrote 542 is due to be withdrawn later this month, when the npower Park & Ride contract is withdrawn.
I suppose 542 may be in marginally better condition, which is why this bus was selected to be retained for an extra week or two over 548.

(04 Apr 2016, 3:04 pm)Dan wrote Deptford's boards on service 9 - the ones which terminate short at Jarrow from Sunderland, as opposed to continuing to North Shields. The X22 service from the Metrocentre to Durham which operates via Team Valley (around 1600 x Metrocentre) is also scheduled to be allocated a Vyking (3983). The only others are various Misc Works, from the Team Valley. I think I posted details of these allocations previously - someone may be kind enough to dig out this post!Thanks again!

The ones at Percy Main should change anyway, if the duel door B10's get withdrawn.

(04 Apr 2016, 3:25 pm)Dan wrote 9104 is to be returned to Optare tomorrow.
9105 has not yet been returned to Optare (contrary to what Go North East's fleet news suggested), and I understand this bus will temporarily take the place of 9104 on the ASDA contract.
