(26 Aug 2016, 5:35 pm)Michael Is the red version a spare for them?

I would not expect to see a spare vehicle for a PVR of 7.

Comms have gone out to drivers at Washington confirming that services 82/82A/82B and 83 will be branded as "indiGo" with brand new buses. I would suggest that the red Solos are to upgrade another service.

Services 85/86 will be operated by the "indiGo" branded vehicles on an evening - but the daytime service will remain as operated by red MPD (for now, anyway).

No - my bad. Evening 82/83 will be operated by the new Solo (currently MPD - running off daytime 85/86 - as these are more reliable and fuel-efficient than the Merits allocated during the day). It's the Sunday 85/86 which will be operated by the new Solo.

The evening 85/86 will remain as operated by Riverside, with red Solo. The "Nexus" branded examples at Riverside are currently in the process of being repainted.

As someone who never sees a Nexus-branded bus (up the Tyne Valley), why are these vehicles being repainted into GNE livery?

I thought that the long-term plan for Tyneside was to have all Nexus buses?

Wonder if the red Solos are for the 39 as Dan mentioned there was a reason the Solos hasn't been branded on there

I don't think they would be big enough, peak times even more so but that's like most services.

While i'm wondering, might as well ask... what length are they?

If the red Solo Sr's are for the 39, wonder where the "Red" Solar's will go?, what other services have a PVR of 7, which don't have new buses?

Edit: Missed out "Of 7"

Unless some of the Sunderland buses are going to be branded the same and they launch them all together and maybe add WiFi to the Solars?

No idea, Dan also mentioned that the 61 isn't down as "Simplicity" due to the versa's being temporary or something like that...so the Solo's could be for the 61.

No idea on the passengers numbers though

Means 5 versa'c can move on to the 38/238 replacing more MPD's.

The 238 can't operate with Versa's as they are too big for Northlea in Seaham and parts of Hall Lane in Houghton. I'd hazard a guess that they are to replaced MPD's on this service since the MPD's at Deptford aren't he most reliable shall we say.
