(25 May 2017, 10:09 am)Andreos1 It has a Newcastle reg.Were the Volvo B9TLs at Stanley or the Mercs at Washy registered in the same place that they ended up?
Do other Go Ahead depots across the country have Newcastle reg plates or ones local to them?

Does say ABC Go Ahead on the destination board so looks like it's for GNE

I would say it's likely that they are GNE, but it's speculation until confirmation ?

Something I've never understood is why most of the buses delivered new to the North East with 63 plates, start with NL instead of NK, for example: Fab Fifty Six and Cobalt Clipper B9s, Drifter StreetLite's and Arriva's Sapphire Pulsar's 1512-1523. Anyone know why this was the case?

The Mercs and Red Kite Volvos were registered by the dealerships at the Birmingham DVLA with Mercedes (Evobus) based in Coventry and Volvo based in Warwick.
Also looks the right shade of red for the Black Cats

Says on the news that 5332 is in the new co operate livery. Its not i seen it today on 57s and it is all red.
Also noticed recently some of the indigo north tyne solos are making loud noises when slowing down. But what got us today was the next stop announcements making loud squeaky noises instead of the voice.
Also it has been reported to gne again but 5269 rear display been off for about 5 months now

(25 May 2017, 6:48 pm)Dan It ended up just having the red paintwork tidied up in the end, as it's probably going to go for refurbishment later this year.

These new ticket machines are nothing but trouble.
Wouldn't allow the driver to log in, then it wouldn't accept my ticket (before anyone asks, doesn't run out until middle of June), then it wouldn't let the driver put a smartzone ticket on to a pass....
