(11 Sep 2016, 5:05 pm)Simmy I noticed 5332 parked on one of the eastbound slip roads of the A167(M) as I was starting the GNR. It appeared to be out of service and couldn't have been going anywhere in a hurry as the central motorway was closed for the run.

How many Solos are we expecting from Thames Travel.
Come to think of it, I probabley have a photo of one or two of them from when I visited Bracknell in 2013.

With the 33 and 39 becoming "Black Cats", i would like to see the brand extended to the 237/238 when they get new Solo's, which are due before end of January 2017 - http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/sh...p?tid=1864&page=14, along with another 1 for Deptford for the 38 to join the brand too.
So the Black Cats brand will contain services.... 33/38/39/237/238 meaning that could become a flag ship route for Sunderland, where was Washington, North Tyneside and East Durham have Indigo.
Edit: Above is just a suggestion and isn't CONFIRMED they'll be all branded "Black Cats"
--------
It also looks to be... 4 new Solo's for Percy Main to replace 625, 627, 631, 632 which will head to Washington to replace the MPD's on the 85/86 allowing those services to join Indigo.
701-704 looks to be the Solo's from Thames Travel , Wonder if 705 will be a another Solo from Thames Travel...(as said before on here)
BusmanT: next batch of Solo will be 691-705, due to arrive before the end of January 2017. http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/sh...p?tid=1864&page=14
Edit: Above is just a suggestion and isn't CONFIRMED (expect fhe next batch of Solo's, which is confirmed)
4933 is also leaking a lot of fluid out of the rear right cap. Wonder how long this'll last.

(12 Sep 2016, 7:44 am)Adrian Michael - 701-704 are the Thames Travel fleet numbers of the arrivals. There's nothing to state that they'll be numbered the same by GNE, once they've been painted and prepped for service.
(12 Sep 2016, 7:37 am)cbma06 Wasn't it mentioned on this forum that service 237 will be running from peterlee? Unless it has changed.

(12 Sep 2016, 9:39 am)Ryan99 I would advise everyone try to avoid using the 20s , I'm on 5429 to Durham and it's broken & I have seen the 20/20A go past in 2s

I can't find owt on the GNE website (is it just me who struggles to find info on there?), but the 36 is on diversion today and tomorrow.
It will be following the route of the 237 between Houghton and Fencehouses along Mulberry Way for two days.
Nexus have attached notices to bus stops affected by the diversion advising passengers to use alternative services.
(12 Sep 2016, 8:05 am)Michael Ah right thought it was confirmed they were staying the same... Must of been seeing things

Following requests from parents, Go North East have now extended the £47 term time ticket for St Bede's students to people in years 12 and 13 as opposed to being available to the main school only.
I must admit though, I probably won't make the switch from the £58 ticket as, for £11 extra, I can use it wherever and whenever I want rather than only being able to use it 5 days a week, 12 hours a day.
(12 Sep 2016, 2:56 pm)S813 FVK I was under the impression that they were keeping the same fleet numbers too as suggested in the caption to this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/apt358/2952...ateposted/

Just noticed on 5359 that there is a piece of equipment at the top of the windscreen that looks somewhat camera-like. Any ideas on what it could be as none of the other Mercs have it?
