Chester was looking sparse when I passed it earlier. Guessing they have some deckers out.

I believe two vehicles headed north this morning and have joined the Go North East fleet - but aren't of the Irish variety!

Correct!

No - they were taken to Stanley, but should go across to Saltmeadows next week to allow them to be prepared for service.

Is that a hint as to where they will be based which, given that 6122-6133 are already there, will hardly be surprising if they are.

Currently parked in Riverside Depot, near the DT buses, on one of the lines.

You've just got 7x brand spanking new Streetdecks, and you want some more second hand stuff? I think 6034 is still at Deptford, if you're short? Big Grin

We will just have one to replace 6038 please. Although that's transfered back to Chester 2 weeks ago. We just have any red vehicle as our spare now .

To be fair 6038 is a pretty rubbish bus and I would much rather have an omnidekka or Gemini

No chance of that!

Those OmniDekkas are absolutely spot on.

The only issue with them (this may only affect 04 REG ones since I have only been on 6133) is that sitting downstairs at the back there is not much leg room, personally I prefer them to a president any day

To be fair 6038 is one of the better B7s ... but yeah we do need somthing a bit better as a dedicated spare for X21s..... maybe an 04 plate then Dan  

Mr Citaro I'm not greedy , otherwise I'd ask for somthing newer to replace 571 and 572 also hahaBig Grin

Just passed saltmeadows I've never seen it so busy I think go north east need to sell these old buses or scrap for parts quick otherwise if anymore get withdrawn they will be parked on main road. 
Noticed 4970 and 4971 ex PB in for paint.
Is 39 getting branded soon and what?

3887 is on loan to Chester-le-Street. On 21s today.

I'd absolutely prefer an Omnidekka to the almost constant stream of jerky B7s that seem to populate the 21 these days.

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

Saw a pair of Brighton Omnidekka's heading north up the A1 yesterday. They could have been going anywhere but does anyone know if GNE is getting anymore?
