Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2017
(05 Apr 2017, 5:07 pm)Tom Makes sense then, the 5 from the 12/12A could go on the X70/X71, with the current X30/X31 staying on there and the Omnidekkas for the 6 (and 6A?).

(05 Apr 2017, 5:11 pm)Michael I'm sure i read the 6 could be a standalone service after May and the X30/X31/X70/X71 will interwork, so it would make sense for the X30/X31/X70/X71 to be Omnicity and the 6 gets Omnidekka's.

(05 Apr 2017, 6:59 pm)Michael Oh right, ignore that then.Speculate! Maybe it'll be the 686
What service will it interwork with?

(05 Apr 2017, 5:03 pm)Michael There's currently 7 in the plain red livery include the one already done, that's 8.
So going by that, the allocation for Toonlink would be 8 Omnidekka's and 11 Omnicities. do you which services will be under the brand?, i would imagine it'll be the 6/X30/X31/X70/X71?
Not sure on what the PVR's is for those routes above, but with changes coming up anything can happen...
6 -
X30/X31 - 6 PVR
X70/X71 -
Speculation, not confirmed.

Just received a fiully green branded 4 page fold out promo mailing for the Angel (ironic considering the amount of regular red on there)
Sadly the booklet, which is pretty, has the wrong journey times and the wrong nearest stops listed. Bit of a marketing fail but a sign that the green Angel (featuring mainly red) is best to stay
There is a black citaro on the 12. Passed Central Station towards Winlaton at 15:50

(07 Apr 2017, 5:31 pm)S813 FVK un-id'd C&C Streetlite parked in Stanley depot. Possibly the one that was supposed to operate the 15:35 78 from Consett this afternoon?Stanley can complete some work that chester can't for some reason or something. It wouldn't go to the depot for just that, I don't think.

Does anyone know where are rest of the ex Blaydon Racer Citaro's going? after the other 3 return black, i would imagine one will be done in "Go North East" for Riverside after that they'll be 3 left to allocate.
The 9 should get a full Citaro allocation, as the service has a mixed allocation, all 3 to Deptford - 2 for the 9 and 1 spare for the X5, 9, 35 and 36, along with 5284 and the see it, do it Citaro.

Probably deptford after if the 35/36s get refurbs.

(07 Apr 2017, 6:41 pm)Michael It looks like all of the Citaro's will go for a refurbishment (although not confirmed, and not including the ones on Connections 4), i hope the Citaro's on the 35 and 36 are next but it looks like it'll go by Depots now, as the Blaydon Racers went first, now the Citylink 57 Citaro's are going from Riverside so if they follow that, the Crusader Citaro's and the spares at Riverside should go next.5337 and 5338 need new everything. The only thing that will still be origional will be a few panels of the body
Not including the ones on the X5 though, as the Durham Diamond Streetlites arrived first so they went first.
Following on how the fleet lists are down on the "Go North East" fleet allocation, the list of refurbishments should go:
Deptford - 5298- 5309, 5325-5327 and 5333-5336
Washington - 5324, 5337 and 5338
