5211-17 would be the perfect choice
4945,46,89,90,91 67,69.
4992 could move to percy main allowing 4912 to be withdrawn

(05 Jun 2016, 2:56 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com wrote I guess 4992 would form the 39 allocation then
(05 Jun 2016, 2:59 pm)Dan wrote The light red Scania L94s are the vehicles being allocated to service 39. 4976, 4990, 4991, 4992, 5212 & 5213 are those currently painted in this colour, and will be joined by 4969.
5205, 5206, 5207, 5208, 5209 and 5211 are the Scania L94s that should be allocated to Fast Cats X35.

(05 Jun 2016, 3:59 pm)Michael wrote So far, it depends on how many more go "Blue", as only 2 are Blue so far, The description Dan has on them is:
4968:
Ahead of upcoming service changes, this vehicle has transferred from Deptford Depot to Percy Main.
More should go Blue, wouldn't surprise me if at least over 4 go Blue, this depends on the new PVR's of cause and what other changes are happening in North Tyneside, as we currently only know a few.

(05 Jun 2016, 4:08 pm)Michael wrote Don't want to sound dumb as out, but what does that mean haha
I'm just keeping the conversation going, there's been no info released for the Blue Scania's so its all just guessing.... of cause, you can stop that and just tell us but where would the fun in that be?
(05 Jun 2016, 4:13 pm)citaro5284 wrote Stating the obvious. Like yeah depending on what the PVR is, it will determine how many buses are to be painted blue.
Aye, nee fun in it at all, and you will find out pretty soon I reckon.
(05 Jun 2016, 1:54 pm)Dan wrote I hope that doesn't mean you were WRONG () in suggesting that 4968 and 4970, 4971, 4972 and 4973 were all at Percy Main, then...

(05 Jun 2016, 4:17 pm)Michael wrote Well i sound like a right dumb **** now, lmao.
If changes are next month, like said before then they should be on VOSA soon, shame the NEXUS contracts can't change at the same time.....
(05 Jun 2016, 7:31 pm)L469 YVK wrote You sure that the changes will be happening in July? Would GNE not want to change the services the same time as the contracts are due to come into force? Not contradicting you by the way, just wondering.
Mind you though, if GNE did make changes in July, that is a pretty good thing in theory due to the fact that when the traffic picks back up in September with kids going back to school, then any reliability issues can be ironed out in time for Christmas with further changes as needed.
(05 Jun 2016, 7:37 pm)Michael wrote Honestly, i have no idea, i was just going by what month the drivers were discussing before, If the changes are July, VOSA must be way behind, as they haven't appeared yet, hopefully they appear this week.
It could be September, same as the NEXUS contracts, that would seem the most logical way to do them but, going by the above reasons, changing the buses early, might work in their advantage.
(05 Jun 2016, 7:54 pm)Tom wrote 24th July in line with the Nexus contract changes maybe? The drivers say it's July so I'd think it would be.
Wonder what will happen with the nexus contracts? Will Arriva just run the 42 instead of the 17 as they do now, and the GNE run the 11, 40 and 41.
(05 Jun 2016, 8:00 pm)Michael wrote The NEXUS contracts don't change until September Tom.
Not sure what would happen to current NEXUS contracts, if GNE do have changes planned for July, i would imagine they would stop the same until they changed in September.
(05 Jun 2016, 8:01 pm)Tom wrote Ah right the 17 was down for July though I think in the tender discussion thread unless they have changed it.
So I'm guessing GNE will operate the 11/40/41 on evening/sundays, and Phoenix/Arriva will operate the 42.
(05 Jun 2016, 8:10 pm)Tom wrote Haha hopefully GNE get them all as I'm not a fan of different operators having services.
Though I think GNE got the 19 from July so might not be enough Solos.
(05 Jun 2016, 8:07 pm)Michael wrote It looks like September, according to Dan's post so we should blame Dan for the confusion [emoji14]
(05 Jun 2016, 8:56 pm)Dan wrote There are multiple contracts coming up. Some start in July, others start in September.
17 was originally due for tender from July but I think the current contract has been extended until September, with the new contract being bundled as the 11 and 42.
