There'll be no deliveries next week, but they'll resume as normal from the first week in January. |

Is SM open between the 27th-29th December? I would imagine Bus and Coach world is the same? the Citaro refurbishments will stop on Friday and Resume n the first week of January?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Probably only 10, if the two at Heysham Docks are delivered on Friday instead of tomorrow as planned. They would be turned around before New Year, though. Yes, Saltmeadows Road open those dates. Closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, unlike most other parts of the business. |

(19 Dec 2017, 4:31 pm)mb134 wrote Still seems quite shortsighted, as I'm sure GNE would have already been in the process of ordering the Streetdecks in the summer when it was repainted? They would have been in the process of ordering, but its normally around 6 months from order to delivery. There would have been no guarantee of delivery before Christmas - Wrightbus seem to build batches of StreetDeck for all operators together, batches for Brighton and First being built concurrently. |

Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2017
6057 broke at least 4 times on my trip with it to Newcastle, which brings me onto my review of the counter - 6319.
From moment one, it was an improvement. I was expecting double-decker Streetlite, but I was glad to find comfortable back seats. I noticed the lack of a monitor, although I prefer the monitor NSAs, it's hardly a complaint that it was lacking extra visuals. The ride felt a lot more solid than what the current B5LH's ever offered, as well as the 16 plate Streetdecks. It felt like a premium ride, not just cheap plastic covered up to act like so. The stop/start tech was also a lot more fluid, it was hard to tell when it had cut out or was running. A sound quality of journey. I don't like the rear adverts, it doesn't fit on the rear cosmetically, nor is the point of it clear. But I gather these won't last forever irrespective of the negative feedback on here about said adverts, and it's safe to assume that if the only major concern of a bus is to splash a bit of paint on, then the company hasn't done too bad! The advantage of the advertisable features and the eco-friendliness make it more than justifiable to the customer and the operator. Well done from me. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk |

(20 Dec 2017, 9:27 pm)Andreos1 wrote Weren't those Solo's out and about longer than the recently repainted B5 hybrid? Cathedral Bus livery has nothing to do with Go North East (or previous operators of the service) - it is specified within the contract that Durham County Council will provide a livery for vehicles operating the service. If no livery is provided, the operator is welcome to use their own fleet livery. The Scania L94 would have been route-learning the new H1 service, which will be operated by Deptford. (20 Dec 2017, 10:52 pm)TEN 6083 wrote Any news on Boxing Day allocations yet or is too early still Much the same as last year (or a normal Sunday service). 9 - Prince Bishops Streetlite 20 - Fab56/Fleet livery B9TL 35A - Prince Bishops Streetlite 47 - Red Kite B9TL or Fleet livery OmniDekka 60 - Prince Bishops Streetlite 61 - Black Cats Streetlite 88 - Fleet livery Versa M6 - Diamond Streetlite (interworks with 6/X30 as normal Sunday) X5 - Black Cats Streetlite X21 - Angel Hybrid/StreetDeck X30 - Diamond Streetlite (interworks with 6/M6 as normal Sunday) All other allocations are the correct branded vehicle. Some late evening journeys will be operated by different depots, like last year. |
