5375 next stop announcements weren't working this morning, and as has been mentioned on fb, wifi isn't working any drifter I've travelled on.
Also East Durham MPD 574 was driving by an engineer down Durham Road past Prospect 9:00ish.

(20 Nov 2013, 5:01 pm)aureolin Nor any 4 I've travelled on. Devices pick up and connects to the network, but the DHCP server won't issue an IP address. I was thinking it was my phone, but the three I used on Sunday wouldn't take my iPad either.

(20 Nov 2013, 5:24 pm)Dan Apologies for the low quality shot, but it's the best #NEBExclusive Liam could manage in this frankly appalling weather.They look good, will look even better when they are branded.
Kudos to him for being out in such weather, ready to pounce on the Solo SR!
Both photos were taken from outside of the depot perimeter, and note the full rear destination (similar to the "Citylink" branded Versas):

(20 Nov 2013, 5:31 pm)Dan The rear lights look hugely different too... I must say I prefer the rear of the older SRs we have in the fleet as opposed to these.

(20 Nov 2013, 5:36 pm)Michael i can't spot any differences unless its just me.
Does anybody know if 8228 will be replaced when its withdrawn (the only Tynedale links SPD), not sure if all the branded buses are needed and will 8293 be withdrawn to?

(20 Nov 2013, 5:37 pm)Tom No chance of 8293 being withdrawn, considering it's age? - Will be staying at Hexham for a while yet

(20 Nov 2013, 5:42 pm)Tom It's all right, better than 8228, I can guarantee you that! - Had it on the 74 once when I went via the Airport and was glad to get off! 8228 will be replaced by a Solar possibly, the 74 may not cope with a MPD!
If you explain what you mean in a bit more detail, I can help!
RE: The Venutre Solos, look very smart! Can't wait to see them branded, thanks for the photo Dan!
