Thanks There would have been a nice photo of a Durham Diamond Citaro in Edmondsley to go with it but Flickr decided to delete it! Yeah, I have to agree on the blue being a nicer colour, thought this blue looked nice when I recently saw it on the MetroDecker demonstrator. |

V327LGC on X70, it's nearly dead.
A whole 10mph and huge black smoke clouds, smells awful. |

Or was it doing very high revs? Could be that it has a sticky gearbox, Which is when the gearbox refuses to change gears unless the driver puts up a fight with the pedal.

6030 was having acceleration issues on Tuesday, too. The issue seemed to be reported as we had 6009 on the afternoon (unless it was allocated out in service instead).

It was hanging at the very bottom of a gear and was incredibly loud. I don't think we'll be seeing much more of this bus anymore! |

I saw Cobalt Clipper 6103 along Askew Road this morning, is it going to Riverside for something?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2016
has anybody noticed the recent changes between GNE and Stagecoach.
with service 33A withdrawn between silksworth and Morrisons and stagecoach starting a service between silksworth and morrisons on service 12. and GNE pulled service 36 out of Town end farm and southwick and stagecoach withdrawing there high freq service 4 from durham road, maybe it looked like GNE and stagecoach had sat down at the same table planning the changes. #conspiracy theory |

(10 Jun 2016, 7:52 pm)Ryan99 wrote How ? Explain this but why not the end of the batch Why does it matter? If they allocated the last two fleet numbers, then people would twist that the registration marks aren't in sync. There was a logic behind it when you could work out the reg based on fleet number, but you can't do it with modern registration marks, so it's irrelevant in my opinion.

(10 Jun 2016, 7:52 pm)Ryan99 wrote How ? Explain this but why not the end of the batch IIRC, the logic is that the BP branded buses get the 2 Euro 6 examples and not the red spares. And also that the taco'd buses are at an end of the fleet numbers, even if it isn't the usual one, because that bit got missed on initial preparation and despatch. |

I may be missing something but I'd think it's more useful to have the taco's in the spare buses. By the very nature of being a spare it's better to be equipped for any duty rather than being confined to the PBs. Also if GNE wanted to sample the euro 6 on a different route it would be useful if it was corporate liveried. |

I've always wondered why the new vehicles fitted with a tachograph must be branded - and it's not a question I've actually asked! Thinking back to 6084 moving over to Riverside as a result of service changes last year, if 6100 had received the tachograph in build instead, the cost of a repaint could have been avoided. Sure there'll be good reason. |
