(08 Apr 2016, 1:31 pm)G-CPTN The ones above, starting 5th June, are likely to be associated with the works to the railway bridge at Hexham Alemouth Road - which will last for six weeks and prevent traffic from the A69 at Rotary Way from accessing Central Hexham (and vice versa).
Diversions (for all traffic) will involve using the junction at Two Mile Cottages to the west of Hexham (junction to Warden).

(12 Apr 2016, 11:53 am)G-CPTN This is puzzling to me, as, although the start date corresponds with the start of the closure of Hexham railway bridge, there should be no impact - unless the road closure of Alemouth Road will affect Station Road.
There will, I suppose, inevitably be congestion due to traffic being diverted from Alemouth Road along Haugh Lane towards the West End (Two Mile Cottages) and vice versa, so, maybe the changes are in anticipation of delays?

(16 Apr 2016, 11:38 am)Michael I don't think any have arrived yet, so it could be tight for them to be out at the start of June especially when 22 are arriving and have to have destinations programmed, driving familiarization and branding applied, doesn't mean they can't be ready for then, just a lot has to be done before they enter service.
Not sure if GNE will want stop announcements ready for them entering service to or they'll installed at a later date.

(16 Apr 2016, 11:44 am)Dan I think they'll be drip-fed into service, replacing Scania L94s week by week, similar to what happened when "Citylink" service 58 was upgraded. There's not enough room at Saltmeadows Road to store 22 new vehicles, however many vehicles are presently awaiting disposal, and of course vehicles present for bodyshop attention.
The Next Stop Announcements should be ready for the vehicles entering service, even if they are drip-fed. I'm led to believe that the 'spare' Streetlites will be allocated to the night bus N56 service as the Streetlites are more fuel-efficient than the Optare Versas presently allocated to this service and Go North East are also able to claim an enhanced BSOG payment for allocating Streetlites.
As such; the Streetlites will also have Next Stop Announcements programmed for services 56/N56, and the announcements on the Volvo B9TLs are due to be re-launched at the same time.
