(08 Jan 2017, 8:08 pm)Michael Hopefully it'll be replaced soon since it's the last one in the fleet.

Last one in service - the cadets still exist in the training fleet (I know 8266 is a Merit but with both types being so similar, may as well just keep them in the same bracket)

(09 Jan 2017, 10:30 pm)Ds1197 Citaros for the Blue Arrows is very unlikely because of Depot Standardisation it's unlikely Percy Main will get citaros becasuse they currently don't have any in there fleet

Percy Main however has had experience of M-B Citaros as they did have them on the Cobalt Clipper, and they also had everyone's "favourite" pairing of 5337 and 5338 too.

I would like that but I can't see it happening as the Citaros aren't much younger than the Omnicities. Where did you here that like?

To be fair the numbers do add up if you are just including the Blaydon Racers/Durham Diamond.

Maybe another Citaro is route is getting new buses?, this might allow all of Green/Blue Arrows, X5 and the 9 to go Citaro.

Although nothing is confirmed, all speculation.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

*As stated below, these are confirmed to be incorrect*

A strong rumour that is entirely believable given it came from a discussion with an LD and engineer.
1 66 plate streetlite has been returned to have the engine rewired/fixed.
1 66 plate streetlite has been returned to have a gearbox fixed.
1 66 plate streetlite was nearly returned for a faulty streering adjust column.

These are all the midnight blue examples at Stanley. I cannot confirm these statements are true, but I can well believe them.

I would say that it is rather unlikely that all 3 have developed issues at the same time - especially as 2 have seen use today:

5442 in service on the 16/16A: https://flic.kr/p/QTcrC3
5443 with the NSA testing NIS display: https://flic.kr/p/QTbVgw

Have anymore Streetlites arrived?

Go North East have uploaded a picture of the new Durham Durham Streetlites (Can't make it any bigger for some reason), photo is from https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/timesfares/16#timetable)

Brand is the same expect it has the same style side route info as the Prince Bishops.

Can just about be confirmed now that these will feature Seat back USB Port's, As shown above. Instead of the 3 Pin Sockets fitted into the shell of the bus on previous orders.
