(09 Sep 2016, 5:29 am)Dan 559 and 560 to Riverside, which will allow 547 and 554 to be withdrawn.
(09 Sep 2016, 10:31 am)Jamie M Why has 3858 been marked as withdrawn for so long..? Surely they could have sold it for scrap by now.

Did the 1610 90 run to Winlaton become Stanley run? Used to be Riverside but saw Venture 651 on it.
(09 Sep 2016, 3:20 pm)S813 FVK Id have a stab at it being Stanley operated since at least October 2015 when scholars service 831 started (651 operated the PM journey tonight).I used to walk down TVTE and always saw a gateshead bus. There's a picture of a salty's streetlite on the 90 on my flicker which started spring this year.

The 831 story is a whole different story like, just 833 renumbered basically. I remember hearing a lot of fuss about it.

(09 Sep 2016, 3:28 pm)S813 FVK I mean the St Bede's 831 rather than the Emanuel College 831 or wherever it goes to/from.They both were started at the same time with the same number, tad misleading.
GNEs Great North Run pricing...a licence to print money
Think I'll throw the money saved by using Stagecoach into Wetherspoons pocket
Had some rides on the 82/82A on the new IndiGo Solo SR's this afternoon, overhead a fair amount of positive reactions about the new buses from the passengers on-board during these journeys and I have to say I think they are pretty smart as well (let's avoid the whole debate on the branding), they are certainly a step up from the previous stock used on the services of which I was given a small taster of the old order as we got swapped off 688 and transfered onto MPD 606 at Washington depot on the 82A and it just looked so dark and tatty inside in comparison with the Solo SR's.

They aren't out special like, but certainly a good upgrade from older vehicles.

Is MPD 556 (Tynedale Links livery) to be repainted since it is now at Riverside? Or is it expected to return to Hexham in the future.
Could this be one of the MPDs expected to be withdrawn, hence why it hasn't been repainted out of Tynedale Links livery.
