Not sure on those!

It was still being branded when that photograph was taken - a photo of the finished product is below. Note that 5332 is the first bus in the fleet to gain the new company logos:

Nice photo's Dan.

Wonder what the special livery is for 6143, hopefully something for promoting Christmas in the North East/Durham?

Those Solo's suit that shade of red.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

6143 isnt going to Percy Main then? Does this mean that 3888 is not returning to Stanley as originally thought with this taking its place? Unless 6146 is going to PM instead.

No - 6143 will be allocated to Stanley, and 6132 will transfer to Percy Main to allow 3888 to transfer to Stanley (and in turn allow a Volvo Olympian to be withdrawn).

Makes sense now. At first (well, the idea came to me after I posted originally, hence the edit) I thought 6146 was going to go to Percy Main instead just to keep all of the 55 reg Omnidekkas together, not that it would make a slight bit of difference if they weren't.

What will happen to 635 once 698,699 and 700 enter service for the 238?

Will it remain at Deptford as a spare?

With regards to 635/636, why not send them back to Hexham and brand them up for the Tynedale Links to therefore replace 618/619, and give them the seats from 618/619 also as iirc correctly they are used on Scholars services.

Only 618 was modified to allow use on scholars services.

It would be a pointless exercise - the reason why 635 transferred to Deptford was due to a PVR increase of 6 vehicles (all boards of service 9 transferring to Deptford and the scholars services becoming standalone), and the reason why 636 was transferred to Percy Main was to allow the withdrawal of a further Volvo B10BLE from the fleet.

These are temporary allocations and both 635 and 636 will return to Hexham next Easter (by which time there will be other buses in the fleet to replace 635 and 636 at Deptford and Hexham).

Every extra bus in the fleet costs money - the running costs, tax, test, tyres, maintenance, etc. It's a massive saving using 635 and 636 elsewhere over the winter period opposed to older vehicles: Arriva do the same with their vehicles at Whitby.

Think 635/636 would've been better at Riverside, allowing 2 MPD to be withdrawn, and used on 33/33A.

If not, then all of 603-606 should've gone to Riverside.

You're describing about 95% of go north east buses here, lol.
I've personally just adjusted to the noise and block it out.

Interesting to see that Bicycle Friendly Buses are a feature on some of the new timetables for Peterlee.

If they are, would think it's the 4 Solo Sr's from Thames Travel, which are arriving soon, that'll be allocated to them.

Means Peterlee is Solo SR and 1 MPD.

Least both the X6/X7 will have Wifi.

Probables spares.

Most of the Peterlee Depot will be Solo, hopefully 603 will be moved so it allows it to be full Solo.
