Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2017

It would make sense. Gives them an extra branded spare when the T1/T2 is not operating.

Hopefully the missing taglines (sorry!) on the Venture Solo SRs are replaced soon along with the route details on the Q3 and 58 Versas along with 5386. That being said, could the Citylink Versas be nearing a freshen up repaint to coincide with the 57 Citaros being repainted and refurbished.

Passed Saltmeadows 0815 this morning. Very cluttered. Don't they normally move/sell them on a lot quicker? Some, like the Nat Express coach seem to have been their ages. Also four of the Solo's from the West Country present. Any help with which ones would be helpful. only one I could see properly was WK59 CWW (Ex Plymouth 224) I believe. Further along the road was a Hexham based Scania approaching Saltmeadows.

I think the bus allocated to the Tesco Free Bus services will be 706 - the only example as yet unallocated, with 707/708 destined for Peterlee (presently being prepared for service at Deptford) and 709 having already entered service at Riverside on service 13. Didn't someone mention they saw one of these Solos heading up to Stanley recently?

There was one there one day, a strict warning to not use it, though. Was gone the next day.

Why is Peterlee getting 2?, i thought they only needed one to replace the MPD
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Dan. Why can I never find the news section on my mobile site now  it's been missing for a few months. Have I hid it somewhere?

I know I've posted this in wrong thread but we are talking about it.

Click the three lines at the top right and it drops down a grey menu with five different options.

The news section is on the top row in the middle.

I don't have the 3 lines anymore.  I used to but then you did an update and they no longer appear. I tend to have to spot someone pasting links to access it. As you have done just then

Just remember to type northeastbuses.co.uk/news/ or bookmark it is my suggestion. I mean bugs are bugs, but the workaround seems simple enough

I think some heating modifications may be prioritised on the OmniDekkas - similar to what is being done on all Scania L94s in the fleet at the moment, with the bulk of the work being undertaken at Chester-le-Street Depot.

A welcomed modification. Most of them can't decide whether they want to be hot or cold and frequently change between the two.

Was also surprised to see 5274 there as well.

Go North East Trialed a B8RLE back in 2015, fleet number 9108.

Doubt they will trial one again and they will probably just continue to buy streetlites.
