(13 Dec 2013, 7:01 pm)Dan Pretty much the same from what I could see - just bigger flowers etc to match the double decked vehicle.
Liam will make a paper bus version ready for this Sunday's news... We couldn't see everything properly so it may not be 100% correct, and of course he's working with the graphics available at present too.

Something tells me that the Ex-Fab Fifty Six solars in red are going to be rebranded but not into the new Go North East generic livery. I am thinking this as some of the Ex-South Tyne cadets have been repainted and recieved vinyls before the solars. But if they are, what route would they go onto?

(13 Dec 2013, 7:19 pm)Michael The Fab 56 scania's will replace the SPD's in the fleet, along with the 6 from the Whey aye five-0, this means by end of January, their will be no SPD's left.
Don't know if they will be branded anything though.

(13 Dec 2013, 8:28 pm)northtynelinks2 I was just thinking that because as i said Cadets are been repainted and hae vinyls applied to them faster than the Solars which have been repainted long before the cadets. Also are some going onto the Wear Tees Xpress? I know there were some rumours about it.

(13 Dec 2013, 12:17 pm)Dan Today's arrivals included NL63YCJ, NL63VJH and NL63YCN - all of which are silver for Cobalt Clipper.

(13 Dec 2013, 8:35 pm)Michael I would imagine the Wear tee's Xpress will get some newish buses next year, dunno when that will be.
Can't wait for all the SPD's to be withdrawn by end of January... least then the worst buses will be the Cadets...

(13 Dec 2013, 11:56 pm)nk55 I personally cant wait to see the back of those spds. Hate driving them, the ones we have at cls are all horrible. On another note i'd wish the volvo b10s were euro 3 standard, they're nice buses to drive.

(14 Dec 2013, 12:01 am)Michael The ones on the Lime are great but are now starting to fail, last few times ive seen the 8/78/78A theirs being a couple of Northern B10's on.

(13 Dec 2013, 8:29 pm)Dan No. There aren't enough to replace the SPDs and B10s.

(14 Dec 2013, 12:04 pm)CatsFast101 WTX may get 4 Solars, as that would allow the renowns to go into Northern so there would still be the same number of buses for SPD displacement.
4 Solars for WTX
18 Solars + 4 Renowns for Northern replacements = 22 Buses, they have 21 currently in fleet.
