Jeez that’s cheap! Amazing what competition does to prices

Yeah, only £13 for the week too.Very good value!

Is this 40/40A/40B permanent or temporary cus yes its in Durham,but wont it still cause confusion on gne's website

Although this was post a while back, i still doubt it, as they haven't bothered to upload the 40/40A/40B or the 86 timetable on their site yet.

The Tesco service from Chopwell & Lanchester is currently not operating due to a vehicle issue.We're currently sourcing a replacement bus.

Wouldn’t be too worried, only carries 5 or so people a day, should be coming off soon.

I would be worried if I was one of the 5 waiting with a few bags of frozen shopping though.

The provision of a bus service was a condition of the Tesco planning permission:-

One condition was that bus services would be provided during the life of the store unless otherwise approved.

Now it appears that a further LIDL store is planned for Delves Lane.

5451 now has feature symbols but as per 5452, the offside vinyls are not in the standard position.

Could be 5337, then 5338, then 5325, 26, 27 and finally... 5305-09.

Another rumour around saying 5337 and 5338 are going to deptford but i barely believe that

Two further demonstrator vehicles in at Go North East are:
- a full-size Streetlite Micro-Hybrid 3 (SK17 HHL), which is the same one Arriva North East had in August
- a Mellor Strata minibus (LM17 WHD).

The Streetlite was delivered this afternoon, while the Strata will be delivered tomorrow morning.

The Tyne Valley Ten livery has vinyls advertising NSAs (Talking bus) - whereas the vehicles have not had NSAs for many many months.

Is it absolutely necessary to go over this again?

Why advertise a feature that doesn't exist?

I would think the Mellor Strata will be going to Hexham to be trialled on the 185/681.

As for the "Shitelite" I think that'll go to Riverside for the Quaylink, if not Stanley on the ToonLinks.

I see the Mellor Strata is for sale on their website at £89500 + VAT

By being a member of this forum, you should know that it is going to.

I believe it is for the 680 shuttle bus, hence why 636 has left Hexham.

Have 3941 & 3942 been out much since arriving at Washington. Not seen either yet

Yes , 3941 has been on the X1 the other day i believe my mate told me

Yes - Strata to be allocated to the 185/681 cycle as usual (only thing that it's suitable to evaluate performance on, really). This releases a Solo SR to operate the 680S Brunton Crossroads service. Streetlite to be allocated to the 34 at Chester-le-Street - filling the void on this service.

Fleet numbers to be allocated this morning - quite likely that the Streetlite will be out in service by this afternoon, for those interested.

Washington have been undertaking a lot of work on 3941/42, so that they're "on par" with 3943 so to speak.

3941 has only just recently returned to service, but 3942 hasn't been back out in service yet. This is why the OmniDekkas have yet to transfer to Stanley (and why Stanley retain the last B7/Tridents).

Ah right
Cheers
