Do hope the once a year users enjoyed the comfort of the B7s.  Don't worry about your regular customers GNE

At least it wasnt an Omni on the 21! Wink

For how long has the stopping bell on Durham diamonds triggered the message "please remain seated until the bus stops"?

I think it is only 5289 out of the Stanley lot which does it - no idea about 5293-5297, though.

(26 May 2016, 3:54 pm)Michael Anymore Prince Bishop Streetlites arrived?

5429 and 5436 are the most recent ones to arrive - both of which entered service yesterday.

See fleet list here for an idea of where we're at with deliveries. The news is now up to date (for Go North East anyway!)

(26 May 2016, 4:10 pm)South Tyne Lad I think 5424 also entered service around that time too, By what I'm seeing id say its around 2 a week entering service, Though that of course could be wrong.

There's roughly a one-week turnaround on all new vehicles being delivered - so it all depends on how many are delivered that week.

5430 arrived at Belfast Docks this morning (will probably go across to Heysham on tonight's sailing) and 5431/38 are both undergoing PDI at the moment. I would expect that there's a high likelihood that these three will all enter service by this time next week.

Worth noting that 5438 is the first Euro 6 Daimler-engined Streetlite for Go North East. The rest of the batch prior to this example are all Euro 5 Cummins.

Ah right, Can I ask why 5438 up are Daimler powered? Is it similar to how Arrivas 1593 and 1594 were bought for trial?

Sorry if it doesn't make sense, I'm typing on my phone!

(26 May 2016, 6:43 pm)BusLoverMum The bus number and time should be enough to ID the route, driver etc.
All I got was a lecture on how I should have told the driver at the time, even though I felt endangered to do so given the way the kids were acting towards me.
Absolutely ridiculous and I've lost faith in the whole reporting system.
