Is this one blue to or a different colour?

5219/5220  Loop Branded Blue
5222  Loop Branded Orange.


New timetable for 93/94 shows a green variation.

I reckon that 4954 should be painted Lilac for South Tyne 88/88A, so all 9 buses are branded, especially as one run will still be scania operated due to scholars service 856 on the board (and 92 at 0720), before starting 88A at 0920 Lukes Lane.

Do the 38 & 238 interwork?

Does anyone know which Scania L94 has transferred to Riverside from Washington?

There hasn't been a Scania L94 which has transferred to Riverside from Washington...

Sorry Dan, just what I've been told.

9102 currently parked up in the layby at Park Lane, the time seen was 17:27pm.

Apparently it transferred to Chester Le Street, not Riverside.

Dual door B10 5157 seems to of transferred to Washington since its on the 82

Actually that was the commencement day of the original roadworks. It's just GNE updating the original news item.

Have all Citaros had the labels (next stop, caution, ramp etc) placed on the dashboard lights?

5337 has too.

They will be used to replace flipdots in other buses.

Look so strange without them but lets face it, they weren't exactly worth having. I saw 5337 earlier too, quite annoyed that I didn't check but, at the time, I didn't know that they had been removed.

Tut tut...

They've been removed for a few days now - lack of attention to detail! ;-)

I knew there was something not right about that photo but there we go, I know now.

However, if I do need a proper excuse, I never saw 5337/8 yesterday (miracle!)

Will 4978/79/80/81/82 be branded for the 19?

I doubt it! Still waiting for 5320-24 to be branded at Deptford nearly 18 months since they were painted

Good point!

I didn't think them Merc's had been repainted, I thought they'd just been debranded?

From the fleet list:

NOVEMBER 14

Ahead of service changes early next year, this vehicle has been repainted into a plain silver base livery.

5320-5324 were all repainted silver. 5326 was also repainted silver before being repainted gold a few days (maybe weeks) later as can be seen in this post.

(14 Apr 2016, 8:12 pm)Davie wrote Cheers Micheal!

No probs .

I do hope they brand them soon....

I agree, I personally think it looks untidy having vehicle's going around in a plain colour for over a year.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Silver Arrows brand again.

I was too that was going to be the livery, however either Dan or Citaro quickly said it wasn't.

Ye, never know it could appear again in the future though.
