I oddly quite liked that brand. Simple and effective.
Could have a Red Kite style to it.

Repaired by Hanover's engineer this morning - as were 673 (dull front destination) and 6025 (rear flipdot stuck on 0).

It's not that people aren't bothered. Hanover have more customers than just Go North East, and their engineers are also entitled to holidays.

I don't think they'll go anywhere else other than Riverside.

I've heard very loosely that six could be going into Chester, linked with the 36 split operation.

So I wonder if all of them will be allocated to the 35/36 then?

Hope not, that's a rubbish downgrade.

Nice to see 673 was finally fixed. No doubt the sensor had gone on it.

If thats the case they could easily bolt on the 34s on to the 36 with PVR of 10?

I would hate to see them Lambton Worm Versa's do a day of 36's...... they struggle enough on the 34

Hi, could someone please tell me what vehicles have AVID E-fans installed? Thanks.

I think the 11 reg versas are a lot better than the 09 plates

AVID E-Fans are currently installed to all of the Red Arrow's Volvo B9TL's, Current Refurbishment Citaro's and Prince Bishops Streetlite's.

I would hate to see Versa's on the 36 any day......... i really hope they aren't going on the 36.


What if the Blue Versa(s), is for the new M services at Stanley?, as according to the news, 649 won't be part of the PVR at Stanley from the changes in May..... just speculating but, maybe that's why the Versa is blue, a new brand for the M services and bigger buses...


Means maybe around 4 or 5 solo's can replace MPD's in the fleet (not sure on PVR for the new M6/M7/M8 but the V7/V8 PVR is currently 3) but there's a M6 so no idea on that route will be but it depends on the other changes in the Venture network.

Might be doubling up to help with the loadings?

And maybe that was why there is a C&C on the 21 - helping the big boys out

Would 710-714 entering service have anything to do with this? I think they do.

Could be but i was just speculating... Why not though?, if the V7/V8 are busy then why not put the Versa's on them, under a new brand.

We will have to wait and see.

I've seen two hybrids with gateshead as destinations this afternoon.

Assuming there's some delays so they are regulating

I ehavent seen any short runs, but have seen them running in three's.

Which would indicate there's some late running when you look at the timetable.

I went on 8266 last week and until then I really liked it but recently it has become shockingly rattly

Does the last 78A from sunderland terminate at great lumley on sundays? The timetable says so but google maps say it finishes at chester.

The latest one on the website should be deemed correct, unless it contains known errors. Your time headings are different too, so it sounds like it is referring to a locally cached copy, rather than downloading the latest?

Could you report directly to GNE please? It just ensures that things get logged, rather than lost in between forum posts.
