(16 Mar 2017, 8:35 pm)Jimmi If the rumour of the 34/34A getting Solo SR's is true, do we think at least some of the Lambton Worms could go to Deptford?

I don't think there would be enough Omnicities from Riverside for the 6/X70/X71, the PVR is 10 i think?

(16 Mar 2017, 9:20 pm)Venturego Yes, Would look good with similar depiction as executed on Red Kite brand (But obviously with image of Swift) for Express services 30/70
and Magpie ("Magpies catch Diamonds" possible tag line?) promoting link to Durham Diamond service 16 at Stanley where previous Diamond 43/44 (which served Newcastle through to Durham) was split in half for service no. 6 (Ex other half part of Diamond 43/44) :
This would re-establish the link through to Durham albeit with change of bus at Stanley.

Do the 12/12A justify having single deckers, everytime I see one theres either nobody on or a handful of passengers? Could easily have a Solo on there.

That is a very good idea. Very reminiscent of the thinking from the marketing team at British Rail, when looking at rebranding the high speed, premium InterCity 125 trains in the mid 80's. That thinking was successful for B.R. So, why not here? Also, why was the 'West Durham Swift' brand dropped? I did like that one too. Very descriptive of the services.

Following the entry into service of former Plymouth Citybus Solo 713 at Stanley, Solo SR 650 has been released to Saltmeadows Road for repaint into Go North East's corporate livery ahead of impending cascade to Percy Main.
710 and 711 are also now at Stanley, with 712 and 714 due to arrive at Stanley by the end of next week.
