Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2016

[S813 FVK]

The running board is as follows:

- 08:12 #V8 (Park Horse - Stanley)
- Services 689 / 687 / 682
- 15:23 #831 (St Bedes School - Stanley)
- 16:05 #90 (Team Valley - Winlaton)
- 17:00 #12 (Blaydon - Newcastle)
- 17:55 #V8 (Metrocentre - Stanley)

Following use on the Tesco Consett service earlier in the day, 604 was allocated to the second half of the running board (831 service onwards) to replace Solo 641. 641 was instead allocated to services 45/47.

Thanks. I thought it must have been the V8 at first (suggested stronger by the timetable) but as it is usually a Venture bus anyway as opposed to a decker like the rest of the scholars services, it has always blended in.

Still no NSAs on TEN.

Only 3943 and 6050 to receive the new "Red Arrows" brand now.

Wait and see

It'll probables be the buses in plain red, allowing them to get the blue at back of the bus.

Apart from the fact the rebranding process was started in November 2015 when 6001 was repainted I understand that it was due to other projects though which is fair enough.

, ye but still should of been GNE's priority to get them done!


I think they'll be gone next or in a couple of years from the "Red Arrows" anyway as they'll be 5/6 years old...

Anyone would think I uploaded a photo of 6050 to Flickr this morning, with these comments...

Red hybrids

Red hybrids 

Wishful thinking!

Wishful thinking!

Would 5323 be repainted for Diamond and 5292 go to riverside for 57 upon its return? I'm aware that there has been instances where companies have done this out of respect...

I was thinking something like this. 4907 was swapped with 4843 (initially 4845) after its incident, albeit that wasn't off the road for half as long as 5292.

[Ambassador]

Wishful thinking!

You continue to disappoint Dan!     

3962/65 will be hitting 11 next year and are still a better ride and internally in better nick than the 2012 Hybrids.

[pdiddy]

Not long now

[L469 YVK]

Not long now

Till what?

[thetravelman]

I would like to see the TEN group of services receive some new buses, either a full set for the PVR or just to make up the existing branded to a full set, so that Red corporate vehicles don't have to be used. Don't think it is very good having so many TEN service being run by a Red corporate vehicle.

Are the TEN likely to receive an upgrade soon, or even just the few to make up the full PVR in branded spec?

[Michael]

Not sure if i'm right but looking on the fleet list there's only 11 more B10's left in the main fleet... It'll not long before they go.

Didn't even notice they're going do fast.
