Be surprised if the 28s got any sort of upgrade. Though the current Solars seem even less reliable than the DAFs where (and those heaps carried on for years after they should have) Chester seem to cover it well enough with plain red Solars and Streetlite subs.

I would have thought whatever method used then (whether its smoke signals, morse code or mobile phone) would be suitable on a night too.

Whoever was driving 4967 this morning on the Q3 wants his licence taken away.
Doesn't indicate on Percy St and tries to swing in from the right into Haymarket. Narrowly avoiding a parked 306 which has to be moved so he can swing around and blocking the road to an ambulance.
Just lazy

(28 Nov 2016, 1:49 pm)Chris Didn't some Scanias on the Green Arrow receive upgrades to make them Euro 5 equivalent? Government funding which came via Gateshead Council IIRC. Maybe this will have some bearing on where they end up?

(28 Nov 2016, 1:58 pm)a718abb I believe they did, but it still means that there are 15 yr old buses on front lone services.
