I think they are going to Stanley or Riverside, as it was mentioned the other day they'll be going on a branded service. |

Which service at Deptford would 3971 turn up on aside from the very early 35A to Heworth?

I think maybe 58 that will allow Versa to go on 35? Or maybe to Stanley allowing the Omnicities to go to Deptford wasn't it rumored that it was getting them. Otherwise seems another mess to simply remove it from from SeeIt DoIt brand |

(08 Dec 2017, 5:43 am)Dan wrote Whilst this would be a good cascade plan and great for customers; the L94s on Loop, Highwayman and Black Cats are tied down to the areas they operate in at the moment, until 2019, as they were fitted with council-funded SCRT systems. Do they have to be used on a service or can they be used as spares?

This batch were actually recently displaced from Go-Ahead London's fleet in line with the contract for service 22 (Putney Common - Oxford Circus) being retained by London General with a new allocation of 22 Hybrid double-deck vehicles (a mixture of new Volvo B5LH/MCV EvoSeti plus existing examples already in the fleet), from 21st October 2017. http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...hp?tid=523&pid=211345#pid211345 |

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2017
Dan has confirmed on his photo of 5327 - which is at Blackburn Bus and Coach World, that 5326-5336 are for the 9, confirming, that the service will be every 20 minutes.
5325/5337/5338 as spares for Deptford, with 5324 going to Riverside? (4 spares each) --- He has also confirmed that the 13 Gemini's 2 from London will refurbished like this: The entire batch will undergo exterior repaint, centre door conversion, fitment of an entrance door ramp, seats re-trimmed including extra padding, seat legs, hand grabs and hand poles repainted, buggy bay created, with free customer Wi-Fi and new white LED destination displays also fitted. Mechanically, this entire batch of buses have been fitted with a new Ecolife campaigned gearbox. Wonder if this confirms they'll go on the Toonlink services 6 and X70/X71?, allowing the Omnicities to just go on the X30/X31? 5234 - 5241 on the X30/X31 5249, 5250 as spares. 5253 moves from Stanley

PVR of services X30/X31 before May was only 6 (5239-42, 5250 & 5253). With this in mind, there would be 5 Omnicitys left over, these could be used on the other Toon Link services with only enough B9TLs to replace the Omnidekkas joining the brand? |

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2017
So they go on the 6/X70/X71, leaving 5234-39 on the X30/X31?
Then, including the ones at Percy Main, there is 5240-42, 5250-5254, and 5261-74 Omnicities to allocate, which is 22. I would like to say Blue Arrow and 35, with a couple going to Washington for the 5/50. However, I don't know if they would want to have Omnicities at Deptford? Only other way around it would be to allocate Solars to the 35, under the Black Cats brand, but that is a massive downgrade. |

Thanks for the update.
Quick question for 26/27 will GNE Desination Boards change back with via points? For people who don't know about the changes/without internet? Will brand for crusader change? |

Ah, so the Solars are allocated to the 61? I was under the impression they were on the 39 haha. I thought they would need some transfers. I that's the case I would guess the Omnicities will just stay at Percy Main (11/19) and a couple to Washington. |

Haha, the 39 uses Streetlites now... I think that's what will happen now, like you said, the Omnicities stay and at Percy Main, and some to Washington.
